BLM Rocks and Brick Paver Preparations

Went down to the BLM office and purchased a landscape rock permit to quarry stone from the missile site south of Mountain Home about 20 miles (17 dollars for 2 tons of rock).

We borrowed Mike’s (Lisa’s dad) trailer to pick up the rock. Caleb and Brock helped unload some of the smaller stones.

I used my dad’s cherry picker to load and unload the larger stones. I harvested the rocks in the dessert by myself which was quite the adventure. I about crushed my leg several times.


This picture shows the prep work for the paver walkway. A 3 inch bed of 3/4 mix followed by a 3 inch bed of sand is the foundation for the walkway.
