Cripple Creek Rock & Landscape was established in 1997 out of necessity and growth for Robert Bledsoe's rapidly thriving construction division. Robert's vision was to make readily available large quantities of a variety of natural stone for his construction division, as well as the public, and contractors.

Outdoor landscaping has evolved greatly over the past several years. Homeowners and the Commercial industry are focusing on visually appealing, functional hardscapes and landscapes. Water gardens and waterfalls are increasingly becoming popular within the traditional art of outdoor gardening, and adding an unsurpassed splendor with rich flowing water and natural stone. Natural stone brings character to an outdoor area more than any other natural product albeit a flagstone walkway, retaining wall, outdoor fireplace, outdoor kitchen, or patio, just to name a few, or any other imaginative outdoor, or indoor accent. The possibilities are limitless with regard to what you can create and build with natural stone. Colors and sizes, depending on native origin can range from rich red, blush, fair pink, deep blue, tan, even mixed colors that contain rich colors of a blazing sunset.

Purchasing product quarry direct require that our buyers travel extensively several times a year in order to bring our customers hand selected, natural stone from all across the country. Buying quarry direct natural stone, allows Cripple Creek to remain competitive in our pricing without compromising quality.

Our qualified staff is on site to answer any questions that you may have and assist you with the exact quantity of product that you will need in order to complete your project. We offer a wealth of ideas for the do-it-yourselfer, completed job photos for ideas and provide contractor referral for customers preferring installation of product.

The birth of an idea to bring sources together to create an inventory level with competitive pricing, surpassing any other landscape supplier in quality, quantity and customer service has made Cripple Creek Rock the largest, and most successful supplier of landscape materials in Kansas City.

At Cripple Creek Rock & Landscape Materials, "we've got your project covered."
