Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you have a yard where we can view the stone?
We don't currently operate our own yard, as all of our selected stone is stored around the county in our partner quarries. Some of our selected stones are featured in our online catalogue, which is updated as stones are sold.


2. What is the range of sizes of feature stones that you can supply?

Depending on the type of stone chosen we can supply stones 1 - 5 metres in height with varying widths, the largest individual stones can weigh up to 15 tonnes. As a guide, typically a stone measuring 1m x 1m x 1m would weigh up to 2.5 tonnes.

3. What Colours are available?
The colours range from plum to green with often unique and subtle variations which can include very attractive quartz veining. Other colours can be sourced, please contact us if you have something specific in mind.

4. How will the stone arrive on site?
We offer a UK mainland national delivery service. Deliveries will be made to the nearest hard standing, the lorries used will range from small rigid body trucks, typically for orders up to 3.5 tonnes. For larger orders we would deliver using a articulated lorry. Most stones weighing up to a tonne will be delivered on a pallet base. Larger stones need to be quoted on an individual basis as the handling and access requirements are more important. Final positioning of the stones is the responsibility of the client. Please discuss with us any concerns you have about delivery.


5. Do you supply other materials such as aggregate and shales?
Yes, we supply these materials by the tonne, in bags or wire cages. Shale sizes typically range from 20mm to 50mm. We can also supply smaller loose selected rockery stone, 200-900mm long edge, in a flat or rounded form.
6. Do you a cutting and drilling service?
Yes, we can supply stones with a cut face to stand them on and/or a drilled hole as required. For any other services please discuss your requirements with us.
