Rock Yard


We drove out to the Hill Country Rock Yard in Kerrville Texas on Tuesday. The rock yard had a large variety of rock to choose from. Before we arrived we thought we knew exactly what we wanted. We walked around their yard looking at many different piles of rocks and after seeing all their selections we were confused! The owner Kevin, spent some time with us explaining the difference between color and style. He could see we were still confused and offered to drive us around Kerrville to actually look at some homes with the rock color we liked. Afterwards we were able to make our choice because his tour was very helpful.

There was a Starbucks in town with the exact color and style we liked. Kevin told us this color of rock was called gold and the style is 8 to 12 inch cut rock with a few 4 to 6 inch smaller pieces of fill. We placed our order and went back to Starbucks before we left the beautiful hill country of Kerrville. We enjoyed a large frappuccino together admiring the rock on the outside of their building.
