Wholesale Bluestone From Pennsylvania?
Can anyone recommend a good source for mixed pattern bluestone that sells wholesale from a Pennsylvania quarry that they have dealt with, and that sells good quality material? I'm tired of dealing with 1/2 inch out of square material when laying patios and walkways.

We use Tompkins a lot out of New York. |

Try Rolling Rock, out of the Oley/Boyertown area.
SHould be a 610 number, and locatable using Google- wait, I think it's rollingrockquary.com or something of the like. Gotta jet, but HTH, ~Matt |

Re: Wholesale Bluestone From Pennsylvania?
CJKarl, I mean 1/2 out of square, not the thickness of the material. We generally use 1" 1/4 to 2" thick material. Do you think a 1/2 tolerance is normal for bluestone? When you order guage thermal material it is right on, so I do not understand why the normal cleft material should be any different. We laid a 5000 square foot pool area last year in a ashler pattern and at times I felt like pulling my hair out because of the inconsistancy of the material.

Re: Wholesale Bluestone From Pennsylvania?
Thanks Matt for the resource. I checked there site out and found another product I find interesting called Brazialian Montauk slate. Also I checked out your web site and must say I was truly impressed. Did you design your web site yourself? If so, then you are in the wrong business, although your work looks great. Like your motto.
