QB Series (Quarry Block)
Natural Limestone Quarry Blocks are popular in many states and Canada because their shapes and textures work well with modern architecture. They are hard to use in a pool setting because they deteriorate easily.
RicoRock Quarry Blocks are made of the same high tech concrete mix used on thousands of our rock waterfall kits. They are dense, virtually waterproof, and the color is integral. No stains are used, although they could be colored. All RicoRock products are user friendly and safe to climb on. Dealers are responsible for the safe use on a swimming pool. If used as jump rocks, various codes apply.
