Limestone Slabs / Ledge Stone

The areas within Kansas and Missouri are blessed with vast amounts of dense limestone that is desired throughout the United States for its beauty and durability. Limestone is quarried in the form of limestone slabs or limestone wall block. Raw limestone slabs require little to no maintenance and make for an excellent option for retaining walls, sea walls, water features, and natural seating. Size and overall thickness of limestone slabs vary by type, but most pieces are 3-7’ long and 12-30” wide with a weight range of 800-1200 pounds each.

Uses for natural Limestone in the home

Limestone slabs can also be cut for a wide variety of uses ranging from stacking stone, countertops, hearths, mantles, coping, wainscot material, and veneer stone. Our ability to cut large limestone slabs into smaller and lighter-weight pieces allows for hand-stacking for retaining walls, free-standing walls, and edging.

Natural limestone slabs, sizes and wall stone

At House of Rocks we stock raw limestone slabs for sale in any amount for a variety of projects. We also utilize our machinery to cut the limestone into hand-stackable wall stone, 3-5” thick full-depth veneer stone, and 1.5” thick thin veneer stone. Hand-stackable wall stone is available in natural / irregular shapes called Dry Stack and also available snapped into dimensional blocks known as Builders. These pieces weigh between 40-70 pounds each and can be stacked up to 3’ in height without the use of mortars or adhesives. The natural irregularity of the stone allows water to permeate through the gaps to relieve pressure.
