What “4-6-8-10” means

Chop is sawn top and bottom into course heights of 4, 6, 8 and 10 inches with a rough split face. Masons mix the heights for a random ashlar pattern or keep to one height for a clean ledge look.

Austin limestone

White, cream and Austin brown are the classic Central Texas home exteriors. Nicotine, cave mix and Texas mix bring warmer tan and rust tones; premium cave is hand-selected for the strongest color movement.

Lueders limestone

Lueders is a dense West Texas limestone. We stock charcoal, antique and tan fossil blue Lueders for exteriors, fireplaces and commercial facades that need a tighter, more even stone.

Dry stack

Need pieces up to 8"x8" for dry-stack walls? Add $10 per ton to any chop.
