Lompoc Natural ledge and wall stone

Lompoc Natural is a California stone with a soft, sunny palette. Dry, it reads light cream. Wet, it warms to a golden color that many customers love. It is sold as ledge and wall stone, so it is built for stacking into walls, raised beds and seat walls. The light color keeps a small yard feeling open, and it blends with the other Lompoc stones in the yard if you want boulders or flagstone in the same family.

Cream when dry, golden when wet

The color change between dry and wet is one of the most noticeable things about Lompoc Natural. Rain, sprinklers or a wet-look sealer bring out the gold.

If you like the golden look year-round, read our guide to wet look vs natural finishes before you seal.

Building walls with Lompoc Natural

Wall stone is shaped for stacking, with flatter tops and bottoms than a boulder. Lompoc Natural suits low retaining walls, planter walls and garden borders.

See our stone wall ideas for layouts and heights that work well.

Estimating and buying

Measure the length and height of your wall and bring the numbers to the yard. Staff can help you turn that into a weight estimate.

Stone is sold by weight, with a Weighmaster recording the weight less the pallet. Pallets need a forklift and flatbed truck, so ask about delivery.

Lompoc Natural works in a mixed-stone design too. A light cream wall behind darker flagstone or boulders gives nice contrast; see mixing stone types.
