Stone wall calculator (chop)
For full-bed chop stone on houses, walls and columns. Enter the wall size and pick a stone to see tons, pallets and estimated cost.
Several walls? Add up their square feet. A standard door is about 21 sq ft; a 3x5 window is 15 sq ft.
How to measure
Measure each wall's length and height in feet and multiply them. Add the walls together, then subtract doors, windows and garage openings. For columns, add up the width of each side times the height.
See all chop colors and prices on the chop stone page. Thin stone instead? Use the thin veneer calculator.
