Blue Slate, Inc. owner, Jesse Schacher, has been in the landscape rock, decorative rock and aggregate business for over thirty years. Prior to starting our own business, Jesse worked for Pacific Rock Products in Vancouver, Wa. for eleven years as a supervisor. During that time, he managed Pacific Rock’s Fisher Quarry for seven years and operated his own landscape rock company, Rock Solid, as well. The knowledge and experience he’s brought to Blue Slate, Inc. is invaluable.
In early 2002, Jesse and Barb Schacher formed Cougar Ridge Stone, LLC and began producing quality columnar basalt products and slate products. The Schacher’s later sold their columnar basalt quarry in order to focus on and specialize in producing Eagle Mtn. Slate products and BlueSlate WoodStone landscape rock on their property in Northeastern Washington state. It was then that Cougar Ridge Stone, LLC became Blue Slate, Inc.
Over the years, Jesse has also installed gorgeous, low-maintenance landscape and hardscape projects on several properties the Schacher’s have owned and also for friends and family members. Photos of his creative work can be viewed throughout this website and on the Photo Gallery pages.
In his spare time, Jesse enjoys hunting, fishing, welding and fabrication projects and having a good time with family and friends, especially out around the campfire!
