Limestone Weight Per Cubic Foot & Other Common Questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from landscape architects, contractors, masons and builders — on limestone weight, colour, lead times, shipping and quarry visits. Have a question that isn't here? Contact us directly.

Can we visit the quarry?

You are welcome to come and see our newly renovated showroom. Yard tours are available only if prearranged with management. If you have arranged a yard tour, proper safety wear must be worn in order to enter the yard. See more on our operation on our About page.

Do you have a seconds pile we can pick stone from?

No. You need to place an order for stone.

Does the stone fade?

Yes. If the project is outdoors, the stone will lighten to a warm grey/beige after a couple of years. If the project is indoors, the colour will not fade.

How much does limestone weigh per cubic foot?

Our dolomite limestone layers average 165 lbs per cubic foot. Our Eramosa marble averages 177 lbs per cubic foot.

Is this real stone?

Yes. Quarried from Ebel's own property just outside Wiarton, it is 100% natural stone.

What about shipping?

Ebel Quarries does not have trucks of its own. We can provide the contact information of trucking companies you can hire to arrange delivery.

What colour is the stone?

The stone is either beige or black. Not all products are available in black, so please specify your preference when placing your order.

What is the lead time for material?

Each product has its own lead time, depending on available raw product, volume of orders and time of year. Contact us for current availability.
