The number of blocks per truckload will depend on the truck’s tare weight and its maximum carrying capacity.

The rough back of sandstone blocks may feature concave, convex, or angled surfaces, resembling a jackhammered texture. This face is typically positioned at the back of the wall.

Please note: All dimensions provided for our products are approximate.

As with any natural material, variations in colour, texture, shape, thickness, and composition are to be expected. Boulder Stone is not responsible for these natural variations as sandstone is directly mined from the earth. Transport services are provided by subcontractors, and once a truck is directed to enter private property, the customer or landowner assumes responsibility for any recovery costs, downtime, or potential damages. All reasonable care is taken by the client during the process.

Any concerns regarding product quality or delivery must be reported in writing within 24 hours of delivery. We have a clear complaints protocol in place to handle such matters.
