As Morris Inc. surface mines granite boulders and breaks them for various aggregate jobs, Milton was always struck by the unique color and beauty found in every boulder. He was also familiar with the process of carving letters in stone. It was a natural fit for him, to turn the seemingly ordinary granite boulders into beautiful carved landscape features, welcoming people to his home.
Soon after neighbors and friends noticed his carved stone and requested he carve stones for them. This was the beginning of Dakota Classique Rock. Focusing on the rock, Miltons' ideas grew. He bought a wire saw and polisher to cut and do finish work, and later a blade saw.
He brought together a team of creative people who shared his enthusiasm for using what the glacier had left when it carved the Missouri River, scattered on the prairie- Beautiful Granite Boulders.Today, Dakota Classique Rock specializes in making one of a kind glacial granite products, including Memorials, Stone Signs, Fireplace Mantles and Hearths, Rock table tops, Fire Tables, and much more.

Services
For a more traditional monument, we also carry cut and polished memorials in quarried granite. We find rough and tumbled boulders on the prairie, and haul them to our location where we cut and flame a flat face suitable for sandblasting letters and artwork. The rest of the boulder is left in its natural form, however we can cut the back as well if that is your desire.
