The work in our quarries is a sight to behold. What is special about our Wilson Quarry lies in the fact it sits right along the San Andreas Fault. This means the rock we produce is prefractured by nature, giving it some of the highest natural cubicity. Excavators, loaders, dozers and crushers work in perfect rhythm to turn raw granite into the foundation for roads, bridges and communities. What’s your favorite piece of yellow iron? Let us know below! | Graniterock
