How much does a pallet of stone weigh?

A standard pallet of natural stone from Ernest Maier weighs approximately 1.5 tons, or about 3,000 pounds.

How much area does a pallet of stone cover?

One pallet covers roughly 25 to 30 cubic feet. For wall construction, that translates to a wall about 12 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 25 to 30 feet long.

How many pallets of stone do I need for my project?

Calculate your total cubic feet needed (length x height x thickness), then divide by 27.5. Round up to account for waste and irregular stone fitting.

Does stone type affect how much coverage I get per pallet?

Yes. Cut or dimensional (ashlar) stone gives the most predictable coverage. Irregular fieldstone (mosaic) or rubble has more void space, reducing usable material per pallet.

Can Ernest Maier deliver stone pallets to my job site?

Yes. Contact your nearest Ernest Maier location to confirm delivery options, availability, and lead times for your specific stone type and quantity.
