Stone FAQ's
Is your dry stone walling stone suitable for gabion baskets?
Yes, this stone is ideal for gabion baskets. The stones are fairly flat, and when placed in the baskets, they not only look fantastic but also provide better strength as they overlap and lock together.
Can I order just one size of dry stone stones?
If you're looking for a uniform size, unfortunately, no. These are natural stones, so each one is unique in shape, thickness, and size. However, we can select stones with a maximum or minimum size based on your preference.
Do you have any stones with fossils or ammonites?
Yes, we are fortunate to have decorative stones with ammonites. These fossils are typically around 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter. You may find a single ammonite or a whole cluster on one stone.
