How heavy is a one man stone? Also a half man,
three man and four man?
Sometimes
rock is referred to as a one-man rock, or two-man
rock. Stone is measured by how many men it would
take to muscle it into position by using an
eight-foot bar or lever. Because men come in
different sizes and strengths, a one-man rock can be
anywhere between a small rock and a rock weighing up
to three hundred pounds; a two man rock can weigh
upwards of nine hundred pounds.

This will
vary per stone. A cubic yard is 3' x 3' x 3'.

If I need help loading into my car, can someone
help me?
We have
machines that will load into open vehicles such as a

limited to the amount of help we can give you. In
those cases you will need to choose stone in a size
you can handle.
Do you have someone that designs patios and
landscape?
To a
certain degree we can help with you with laying out
a design in our yard. We can also refer customers
to landscape designers and stone masons in their
