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.

colours can be sourced, please contact us if you have something specific

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. |

your requirements with us. |
