Stone Varieties

Machine-cut natural stone with clean, straight edges. Unlike flagstone, chop block stacks neatly for a structured, architectural look.

How we measure Dimensional stone is sized face height x depth x width. Chop block is listed by face height x depth, so a 4x6 has a 4" tall face and is 6" deep. Widths are random, a natural result of the stone being quarried and then chopped or sawn.

Planning a wall or border

Under 2 ft tall

Dry-stack works well for decorative walls and borders.

2 ft or taller

We strongly recommend mortar for strength and safety.

Mortar math

1 yard of sand plus 8 bags of cement covers about 280 sq ft.

Start with a base

Crushed limestone under the wall or bed helps the whole project last longer.
