Lee&Nik Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 im trying to get a feel for the price of stone used for building additional walls at my home and will also use the same stone for various garden walls, my house isnt built out of lovely dressed stone but i would guess a cheaper more working class stone!! and using infill methods.also i have some new openings to make for doors and windows and am wondering how much the edging square stone blocks are? so my question is how much (ish) are both stone types?im in the nontron area if theres a diffrence in regional stone.cheers!

thunderhorse Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I couldn't tell you the price of stone, but I'd be inclined to visit local masons and farmers, and see the often piles of old stones recouped from here, there and everywhere. Even the local déchetterie can be a good source of building material - and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee&Nik Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 thanks for the advice, what about crushed stone suitable for sub bases for drive ways and then gravel, does anyone have a steer on prices?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Can't help with stone, but gravel costs a fortune if you don't buy from a quarry - 2 tonnes (which is not a lot really [:(] ) from Mr Bricolage €94...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Prices may vary widely for gravel, but the local quarry to us delivered us a 25 tonne semi of gravel (actually stone chips) for about 500€ a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Here's an example for stone, but again, it'll depend on your region and the type of stone, I would think. These look nice. [:)]http://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/15857163.htm?ca=20_s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grittier 6/20 (venant) is only €11/tonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
