Where it works
Landscape features, erosion control or stone construction when the selected size and product meet the design.
When to choose something else
Loose riprap, decorative boulders, flagstone and wall blocks serve different purposes. Do not use a product photo as a structural design or lifting guide.
Before it arrives
Confirm piece dimensions, site access, unloading area and the lifting equipment needed. Have drainage and foundation details designed before installation.
Placement & installation
Use suitable equipment and a qualified installer. Arrange drainage and filter layers where specified, and keep people clear of suspended or unstable stone.
Care over time
Inspect for settlement, displaced stone and blocked drainage, particularly after heavy rain. Have structural movement assessed before adding weight.
Confirm with the source
Exact grade and piece sizes, approximate individual weights, loading/unloading method, flatbed or dump delivery and any engineering requirements.
General planning guidance. Supplier specifications, project plans and site conditions determine suitability and installation requirements.
