service to remove/fracture large rocks?
 

I will be obtaining a permit but I want to get an estimate if and how much it will cost to actually do the work. We have 3-4 large (largest is 8'-3' visible) rocks that we will need fractured and moved to the side. There was a company called The Rock Hog that would've be perfect but has since gone out of business. Can someone point me in the right direction, I've been searching but can't really find anything concrete.

Me, I just take it for granite.

Then again, I'm pretty stoned.

Rocks
 

You may be "stoned", but you are also "rock solid", and certainly down to earth.

Real gneiss, guys.

I quarry OP might get aggregated if we go too far with these puns.....ore not.

Malapropisms
 

Kind of funny, I guess. The "Master of Malaprop" probably wouldn't be jealous- (even at age 89!

Still, for several years I have found all that I have read here interesting and entertaining (Sergio Leone!).

When I figure out how to post pictures/videos, I have a few from the storm of 2007 (which I think was worse than the "Mothers' Day Flood" of 2006).

Anyway- Hi All!

Moving above ground rocks is one thing.
Breaking up large rocks is a completely different animal.

If rocks can be buried will save some money.

Don't need a permit to move a rock . . . unless there is more to this story.

'Should Have Been a Little Bolder...
 

Ask a neighbor if he wants a big rock on his property—may save having to move it very far.

:eek2: Stopped in my tracks at this sight, I should have spoken up. :(

Putting this in a strategic spot on my lot would have saved the truck a 3-mile trip.

Eight-Feet is a Big "Rock"...Work With Nature...
 

Using a rented impact-driver, drill a few holes nearly through the "rock". Fill with water—seal with a cork. Next spring you should find smaller rocks to move. :cool:

If you're lakefront—especially on Winter Harbor—consider these boulders the start of a new breakwater. (And the start of another permit). :rolleye1:

.

Are you just trying get them flat to the ground or completely dug out and hauled away? Have used betonomit on several occasions. Trick is you need to drill the holes The right diameter and it takes some time to drill them. Works very well though. Just have to follow mixing instructions correctly. Takes a few days after you pour it for the full effect.
