In 1962 Al Bankus left a career in the logging business in Oregon to discover “gold’ in the hills northwest of Palm Springs, California. It wasn’t the precious metal but a popular quartzite landscaping rock. He and his wife, Irene, set up a stockpile yard along Interstate 10, at the Whitewater exit, to sell the popular “gold” landscape rock and boulders from their quarry.
In 1972, their son, Allan, joined the company full time and what started as a small stock pile yard for the popular “gold landscape rock” has expanded to over forty acres of the largest building stone and boulder inventory in Southern California. Their inventory includes over 2000 types of stone and rock products from across the United States and as far away as Brazil, China, India, and Australia. They also carry a complete line of fireplaces, BBQs, pizza ovens, gas log sets, fountains, and pottery and statuary products.
Whitewater Rock takes pride in offering unparalleled customer service in helping their customers with the selection and delivery of these products. They will truck or ship anywhere within the United States, including Hawaii, and has shipped as far away as Japan and Australia.
