Feature Stones

Wealden Sussex Sandstone Feature Stones

[ Archive ]

Feature stones are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and can be selected by customers during a visit to our quarry (please call for an appointment). Some stones display riverbed features dating back millions of years and others are more square and are suitable to form large scale retaining structures. The potential uses for these stones are endless but monolithic sculptures and waterfalls are all possible.

Samples of feature stones are not available. If you would like to see our selection please call us to arrange an appointment.
