A Little
History About Us
In 1953 Michael E Camp opened Camp Rocky
Mountain Cut Stone to provide flagstone and moss rock to the
local building contractors. As the business grew, more and more
products were added such as river rock, pea gravel, sands and
top soil. The first few years all the rock had to be loaded and
unloaded my hand. For landscaping, product was put in burlap
bags so customers could take it with them in their own cars.
Equipment was only acquired when it could be purchased with
cash. This is the same philosophy that Mr. Camp’s grandson,
Mike Lockwood, has today, as he still runs this family
business. Mike remembers loading and unloading trucks by hand.
He was very happy when Grandpa purchased a front end loader and
a dump truck. Mike has added lot of new equipment today such as
cutters, saws, scales, fork lifts, and a radial arm polisher.
Mike is looking into adding a tumbler in the near future.
Not only has equipment been added but the
yard continues to grow with more and more products. As new
stones and rocks are introduced to the Colorado market from all
over the United States, Mike continues to grow the business
making these products available to his customers. Insuring
availability of product has always been an important part of
this business’s success. Just take a look at the product page
to see a complete listing of all the material
available. If you still do not see what you are looking for,
call and we'll locate the material you desire.
Even though the name changed in 1997, the
location and the way of doing business never have changed. Mike
still preaches customer service to all of his employees even
though most have been with him for over 10 years. The company
motto is for every customer that comes on the yard, make sure
that customer leaves with exactly what they came for, and make
sure they are happy with what they got.
Quality of product is also very
important. Camp Stone will make every effort to meet all of the
contractors’ and customers’ demands on the quality of the
appearance, and that all cuts are exact. Other providers may
deliver product that is warped, bowed or cut to the nearest ½
inch, but Camp Stone will only deliver product that has a
natural cliff top, and cut to the exact measurement. We go the
extra mile to deliver a better product than our competition.
We never claim to be the biggest provider
of natural stone and landscaping supplies in the Denver metro
area. We do try to provide a better product, the best
availability, and usually our prices are the best. |
