The pallet above illustrates 5"- 8" thickness range.

Thickness varies piece to piece. 

Blue range is likely to include an occasional piece of another color


Colonial - How to order

First, select either full color range or blue color range.  Full color range pallets may contain any or all of these colors:  Brown, Rust, Blue, Gray, Lilac, Green.  Blue color range pallets will consist of different shades of blue and gray,  but they may also contain an occasional piece of another color. 


Next, decide which thickness range you prefer.  It's common to select some thin and some thick pallets and then blend the thicknesses as the project is installed.  


Please note that for the structural integrity of the pallet the largest pieces will be on the outside and visible. The middle will contain much smaller pieces. The smallest pieces can be approximately the size of the palm of your hand. This product is widely varied in nature, thus the presence of smaller/larger pieces is expected. If the pieces pictured on the pallets above are not large enough please see "side by side" steppers below. 


This natural cleft product is not precisely machined. For more consistent thickness, consider tumbled bluestone, garden path, or wallstone.


All pallets cost the same amount, and pallets are approximately 48" wide x 36" deep, 

stacked about 30" high.  Estimated volume is 30 cubic feet per pallet.  


Please consult a masonry professional to determine and finalize your needs before ordering.

Just like Wallstone, but the average piece is larger.    

Wallstone / Garden Path - How to order

First, determine what you need the average size piece to be.  Most pieces on a pallet of Wallstone will be 1.5 to 2 sq ft.  The smallest pieces should be about the size of your hand.    Most pieces in a pallet of Garden Path are 1 - 5 sq ft each, with smaller pieces to fill in the gaps. 


All pallets cost the same amount, and pallets are approximately 48" wide x 36" deep, 

stacked about 30" high.  If building a wall, estimated volume is 30 cubic feet per pallet.  If laying flat, estimated coverage is 150 sq ft.  


Please consult a masonry professional to determine and finalize your needs before ordering.

steppers

How are they used?

bluestone steppers, rugged natural stairs garden nature preserve walk woods rugged country flagstone

While thermal bluestone treads are most commonly used for stairs, sometimes a more rugged look is needed for the project.  Steppers are the best way to get a natural cleft finish for your stairway project. 


Steppers are also often used to build retaining walls.

What thicknesses are available?

bluestone flagstone steppers pallet thick big rugged varied wild natural

Steppers are ordered by thickness range:  4 - 6" thick (normally 5 or 6 pieces per pallet);  6 - 8" thick (approx. 4 pieces per pallet); 8 - 10" thick (normally 3 pieces per pallet) and 10" - 12" (2 or 3 pcs per pallet).   While steppers are palletized by thickness so the pieces are similar, there is some variation in thickness from piece to piece.  If all pieces must have the exact same thickness, thermal bluestone treads are a better option. 

What shape are the pieces?

Are smaller pieces available?

Steppers are sorted by thickness as they are palletized.  The stones are aligned on the pallet along one edge (the right-hand side in the image above) which is the edge that will be visible after install. 


Each piece is unique, and steppers are not normally rectangular, so the back edges (which will be buried in the slope of the ground) vary in shape.  It's a good idea to order a few more than you need in order to allow for installation flexibility

The pallet above is a "side - by - side" pallet.  

Normally steppers are roughly the width of the 48" wide pallet (some pieces are shorter and some that overhang - see image above) but side - by - side pallets contain multiple pieces per layer.  This can be helpful if your application requires pieces that are smaller than standard steppers, but larger than colonial. 

Steppers - How to order

First, determine what you need the average thickness per piece to be.  The "rise" of a staircase is how high each step is as you walk up the stairs.  When using steppers as a staircase most masons suggest either 4 - 6" or 6 - 8" range for a comfortable rise.  Thicker stones are normally used for walls, or as a rugged seat. 


If building a set of stairs, it's helpful to provide the total "rise" of the entire staircase when you order.  That allows us to "round up" to the nearest pallet to make sure the pallets we select for you will be enough to cover the entire run.  The shape and size of each stone varies greatly, so we recommend ordering a few more than the minimum needed to allow installation flexibility.

FIELDSTONE and Creekstone

Fieldstone - Color

Fieldstone - Thin Range

Fieldstone - Texture

fieldstone bluestone flagstone pennsylvania full color splotchy varied rainbow multicolor stone

Fieldstone is highly desirable for its weathered texture and vast color range.   Fieldstone is harvested from ancient walls / piles of stone that farmers made in between their fields (hedge rows) as they removed stone from their fields each spring.

Similar to Fieldstone, but smoother and rounded from years underwater.  As with fieldstone, specify desired thickness range when ordering. 

Fieldstone and Creekstone - How to order

First, determine what "look" you prefer.  Fieldstone is rugged and weathered.  Creekstone is smoother in texture.


Next:  Determine which thickness range you prefer.  It's common to select some thin and some thick pallets and then blend the thicknesses as the project is installed.


All pallets cost the same amount, and pallets are approximately 48" wide x 36" deep, 

stacked about 30" high.  Estimated volume is 30 cubic feet per pallet.  


Please consult a masonry professional to finalize your needs before ordering.

Like the smaller pieces shown above, Fieldstone Boulders were removed from fields by farmers.  They are heavily weathered from many years exposed to the elements.  Pieces are stacked on pallets in the field and then wrapped with chicken wire for shipment.

Solid pallets of tumbled bluestone can be ordered in 12" x 12" or 12" x 18" pieces (nominal sizing).   This product is produced by tumbling saleable thermal bluestone pattern, so the cost includes the base price of the stone plus the cost of the tumbling process. Thereby, solid pallets are much more expensive than random / broken pallets. 

 

Broken / Random Sizing

"Solid" Pallets - all pieces the same size

"Solid" Pallets - all pieces the same size

Each piece is a different shape, similar to standup or colonial.  This product is produced by tumbling pieces of thermal pattern that were broken during the manufacturing process.  Because they are a byproduct, these pallets are significantly less expensive than solid.

Tumbled Bluestone - How to order

Tumbled bluestone will be almost entirely in the blue color range, however 

 an occasional piece with brown or some other color may be seen. 

First,  decide which thickness you need. Both 1-1/2" and 2" thicknesses are available. 


Then, decide if you want solid pallets or random broken.  Solid pallets are priced by the square footage on the pallet.  1-1/2" pallets will contain approximately 192 sq ft.  2" pallets will contain approximately 144 sq ft.  Random broken pallets are priced by the pallet.  Each pallet measures 48" wide, 36" deep and approximately 30" high.  Approx 30 cubic feet of coverage per pallet.
