Buff Australian Sandstone Retaining Walls

Stone for every taste. Granite was once the stone of choice, primarily due to its location and thus its price. Sandstone was considered too expensive. Today sandstone has become affordable for every budget. The cost of the material is usually a third to half travel costs and the remainder determined by the grade of stone you choose. Basically, the more the stone is cut, the more it will cost. Most people have heard of “A” grade stone, a product with 5 cuts, or “B” grade, a product with a minimum of 2 cuts. There is also “random” stone, usually the reject or offcut material, “diamond” or “wetcut”(see below) and other variations depending on the supplier. Because terminology varies between suppliers, be sure to see an example of work before you commit.
