Looking to do a stone facade and need to know a good place that has a wide selection of stone. I like the look of square and rectangle rocks if possible. Has anyone done it before, where is a good local place? What are prices usually per sq.’ or yards, not really sure how they measure it.

What are the price ranges per linear foot? Not sure how they price it. ---

Square foot. But don’t let that fool you though, you need a bunch of other stuff too. ---

They usually come in boxes covering 8-12 sqft (depending on style/brand) and each box ranges from $60-100 on average. The linear feet on the corners is what is going to kill you on price, it can be double the price in some cases. Thruway Builders and Keystone/Allied are great people. ---

^I have five boxes in my garage because my wife “cherry picked” all of the colors she liked and left the others requiring us to buy more. :meh:
