Owners, Jeff & Linda
In The Beginning
Our business was founded in 2009 by Bob Borrows in Washougal, WA. Bob built the business with emphasis on three (3) key values of customer service, quality workmanship and responsiveness. These principles formed the ârockâ solid foundation for which the business could grow. And grow it didâŚthrough many returning satisfied customers, and e-commerce expansion the startup became a bona fide full-time business nearly overnight.
By 2014 the business had become more than a solevproprietor could handle. Coincidentally, this was the point in time when Jeff & Linda Greene (husband & wife) were seeking a new business opportunity and purchased the business to continue the amazing success story. Today the business operates out of Spokane, WA.
Linda & Jeff
We have been a good team for many years now, (even before we started working together)! We truly feel fortunate to own this business as each day is never viewed as just another day of work. Every project is unique, and we enjoy the craft of creating personalized and treasured keepsakes for our customers. You (the customer) are as involved in the design as you choose to be. Linda is eager to assist you with the creative side of things and personalizing your project.
An excellent listener and graphic artist, she will help you to design a product that will be enjoyed for a lifetime and perhaps
beyond. When the artwork, graphics and verbiage are ready it is time for Jeff to take over and find just the right rock that accentuates the project. Then the magic happens, and all the preliminary work is engraved into the rock or stone. It is very gratifying to see the pleasure our products bring to customers, and we hope to be able to work with you soon on your own customized project.
Location, Location, Location
We are located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Spokane, Washington to be more exact and the location for this business couldnât be better as we have some of the most beautiful rock in the world all within a 200-mile radius of our doorstep. We personally go out to the rock quarries to select rock and stone, making certain they meet quality standards before bringing them to the workshop for processing. Presently, most of our river rock comes from Montana (Rainbow River Rock) and granite
stone is sourced primarily from Washington and Idaho.
The Pacific Northwest also offers some of the most striking flagstone with a variety of colors just in case we donât have what youâre looking for in river rock or granite for a custom project. We love the outdoors and the opportunity the business gives us to enjoy a day trip now and then to our rock and stone suppliers. Flat rate shipping from the USPS allows us to ship economically anywhere within the United States and helps keep your total cost low.
Whatever It Takes
The beauty of owning your own business is you donât have to post hoursâŚbut make no mistake we work when we need to. You are ultimately the boss, and we will do everything we can within reason to meet your deadline. It is not unusual for a customer to call a week before a special event needing a unique gift and normally, we can make that happen (including shipping time).
Our lead time is best in the industry, and we work hard to preserve that advantage. While we are a bit obsessive about
our work in a healthy way, we will never sacrifice a deadline for quality. The bottom line is we will do whatever it takes to get out a quality product in a timely manner.
