What is fieldstone?

Fieldstone is aptly named: it’s a stone that naturally occurs in fields, near or at the surface. It comes in many colors and is sometimes cut or split for architectural use.

 
 

FIELDSTONE DRYSTACK - THIN

Thin means pieces are under 1" to 2" thick and about 5" to 8" wide. This product is used to stack (with or without mortar) to make stone walls. You'll need about 40 to 45 lbs of this material for each face square foot of stacked wall. So figure a wall 1 foot high and 10 feet long = 10 square feet x 40 to 45 lbs per square foot = 400 to 450 lbs.

Chop Stack

The stone mason’s favorite choice. This stone is the most affordable tack stone product while having excellent color. These are the “offs” from snapped fieldstone ashlar and already have square of side to them. They may require a small amount of rock work to shape and fit but the end result is a GREAT look!
