Manufacturing Products Using Savannah Gray Granite
Ruff Dimensional Stone manufactures granite products such as curbing, cobblestones, pavers, rubble, veneer strips as well as custom and specialty products. While the majority of these products are produced from our Savannah Gray granite in our manufacturing plant near Elberton, we have access to all domestic and imported granites.
Production starts at the quarry. Large rectangular blocks, averaging 40’ x 35’ x 14’, are freed from the solid granite using modern quarrying methods. Each large block is then broken into smaller blocks averaging 10’ x 5’ x 3.5’ that can be removed by cranes and loaded onto trucks.
Once delivered to the manufacturing plant, the blocks are sawn into slabs of the desired widths (typically 4”, 6”, 8”, 12”, 15”, and 17”) needed for the various products. The slabs are then broken or sawed into the desired products and finished according to the order.
We offer a “landscape” grade in the Savannah Gray that will include some natural features found in the Elberton Granite. These features include streaks (pegmatites, less than 1.5” thick), waves (lighter areas with indefinite boundaries), and possibly small inclusions (xenoliths) of the rock into which the granite intruded. These features do not affect the structural integrity of the stone and add character to it. This grade is used to make curbing, rubble, cobblestones, and veneer strips. It can be used in all our products if the customer so desires. For applications where the landscape grade is not suitable, we offer a monumental grade stone that will contain some “waves” but no streaks or inclusions.
Complex shapes can be sawed on our contour wire saw, so please contact us if you need an unusual product. We enjoy the challenge of bringing your ideas to life in our beautiful Savannah Gray, or other granite of your choice.
Minimum order is 10 linear feet or 10 square feet. Items are typically delivered on flatbed trucks loose or on pallets. Call or email for current pricing.
