Grizzly Stone

Grizzly Stone looks like it belongs in the foothills. It is a basalt that formed in layers of varying thickness, and those layers show up as bands and patterns you will not find in a uniform stone. The palette is dark brown, light gray and a touch of green. That mix makes it an easy fit for natural, woodsy landscapes, dry creek beds and rustic retaining walls.

What makes Grizzly Stone different

Basalt is a volcanic rock. In Grizzly Stone, the layering adds texture and a patterned face, so a wall or patio built from it has plenty of variation from piece to piece.

Expect earthy browns first, then soft grays and hints of green. The colors blend well with oak, pine and native plantings.

Using it as flagstone or wall stone

As flagstone, Grizzly Stone makes patios, stepping paths and landings. Its patterned surface gives good visual interest even in a small area.

As ledge and wall stone, it stacks into rustic retaining walls, raised planters and seat walls. See our stone wall ideas for layouts that work in Sacramento yards.

Buying and installing

Bring your wall length and height, or your patio measurements, and staff can help you estimate how much stone you need. Pricing is quoted by phone or at the yard because stone is sold by weight.

For walls, dry-stacked stone gives a relaxed look, while mortared walls are more permanent. For patios, decide early between a soft set on sand and DG or a hard set on concrete.
