Dude, you are in one of the coolest states in the union wit many choices of quarries.... Yes I too am a cheesehead...... I found a quarry from Michels Construction just east of Waterloo, WI... it is the coolest quarry you will ever be in... hands down and probably only an hour away from you .... it is quarry #100 fro Michels... the stone is granite looking, real tough stuff, they grind it for railroad balast ( the purple stuff) also they do the shoreline of Lake Michigan with it... when I was there this spring they had a boulder the size of full size van getting loaded on a truck to Brazil. This place is worth driving to, if not just to see it. Take a truck not a car) The stone also has this shimmering effect in the sunlight with water features. Man you got me on a roll.... the stuff they blast is real angular and as long as you can move it around....it gets heavy faster than you think... it is perfect for what you are describing... or future projects..... make the call ... 1-920-478-2084.. ask for Steve.. he will give you a personal tour.. did I say it was worth it?...

I am just as pumped about this damn quarry as you are about your dang job.... check it out. you will freak out and and ... well who knows......
