If I don’t plan to lay my stone on a concrete slab, what is the best method to use when installing a path or patio?

Although sand is a good medium to use as a base beneath a stone path or patio, we recommend using crushed stone. Unlike pea gravel or sand, crushed stone has angular edges that lock together and prevent “rolling”, thus creating a solid base for your project. Also, for areas with drainage problems, crushed stone will stay in place while smaller sand particles tend to wash from beneath the stone. This creates voids that can compromise the stability of your pathway or patio.

 

How do you sell your stone?

Our stone is sold either by the pound or by the square foot (depending on the type). If you come in with measurements for your project we can give you a good idea how much you are going to need.
