Stone walls are supplied in two ways: as veneer (when other structure is doing the work) and as solid stone blocks for retaining or site walls.
The stone may be pre-crafted in a variety of different ways. Attachment kerfs, hand finishes to the face and precise sizing are standard and included in the product cost. Stone may also be ordered pre-crafted into RAS standard patterns. These may be large scale repeat patterns (20-50 stone repeats are common) or customized so that every stone is a different size and shape and arrives to you in a numbered system.
Veneer systems are fabricated from both newly quarried as well as antique materials and sold by the square foot. Veneer has one finished or antique face.
Solid stone blocks for retaining and site walls are sold by the square foot of the primary surface face.
