# Stone Project Ideas

These guides help you plan a patio, walkway, wall, water feature or other stone project, choose a stone that suits it, and know what to bring to our Sacramento yard at 5300 Excelsior Road.

Every stone project starts with a few simple questions. Where will it go, how will it be used, and what color suits the house? Each guide below covers design ideas, which stones tend to work and why, the basics of planning and installing, and what to bring when you visit. Anna and the staff have 34 years of experience in the rock industry and are glad to talk through your plans. Call (916) 363-4239 or stop by the yard.
