hehehe... Perhaps you could. But they are still *my* rocks.
I dig... granite. Big blocks-o-granite. It's gonna be sweet. You have to understand... I sooo wanted this contractor to do my bulkhead, and I really did NOT want the usual concrete stuff. I don't like concrete. I like rock. This guy does really nice work, and it will be sooo much better in granite rocks than just some stinkin' concrete. This guy, however, *only* works in rock and doesn't bid concrete jobs.
He's very proud of their sales-motto that they make "the most expensive bulkheads on Puget Sound". However... the funny thing is that the concrete bids we got were even more than his bid for rock. So... not only will it be the best looking, it is the best bargain too.
Concrete contractors only warrant their work for 20 years. This one will have a 100-year warranty.

I like the way that bulkhead sounds. Granite will be much more esthetically appealing than concrete! My paternal grandfather was a contractor who did a lot of seawall work down on the Texas coast. He liked working in rock better as well. I can still find places where I remember he did the work when I was a kid. Pretty cool.
Interesting too, if done correctly the rock will last much longer than the concrete. And always look better.
