The information is based on average ton and cubic yard amounts. This decorative building stone has naturally occurring colors and shade variations. These are what gives this stone the natural beauty and uniqueness that causes its appeal. Color tones change can sometimes occur with aging or maintenance practices of the location it is installed at therefore exact matching of existing stone may not always occur. During processing or transportation dust will adhere to the rocks and change its appearance on arrival but we guarantee all stone to be true to the specific brand name, type and size ordered or complete exchange including transportation costs will be made. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAfter installation is completed the rock should be rinsed off to show the natural beauty and character.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTons vs. Yards and Square Feet.\u003cbr\u003eIn most cases we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArchitects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:earthstonerock@gmail.com\"\u003eE-mail\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eus with material specifications, amount and date needed and buyers contact information.
