What Bentley's Stone Yard supplies

Stone yards carry flagstone, wall stone, boulders, river rock, cobbles and decorative gravel, usually sold by weight and frequently palletized for hardscape crews.

Thickness drives both coverage and price. Patio flagstone is typically 1"–1½"; anything thinner risks cracking underfoot without a mortar bed. Wall stone is sold by the ton with coverage depending on the face height you are building.

Because Bentley's Stone Yard carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Stone is sold by the ton. Natural stone runs roughly 150 lbs per cubic foot, so a single pallet can approach 1½ tons.

As a rough guide: 1 ton covers about 80–120 sq ft at 1½ in flag; 3 tons covers about 240–360 sq ft at 1½ in flag; 1 ton covers about 15–20 face ft at wall stone.

Have length, width and target depth ready when you phone. Yard staff convert those into tons far more reliably than a generic online calculator, and they know how their own material settles.

Ordering and delivery

Ask about delivery minimums and trip charges up front — for smaller orders these often matter more to the final bill than the headline per-ton price.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 117 reviews on file, 115 are five-star (98%) and 1 are four-star. 1 review sits at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Among the suppliers we list across Georgia, this rating places Bentley's Stone Yard in the top 8%.

Across the 11 suppliers we list in Norcross, the average rating is 4.3.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 5.0 drawn from 117 reviews reflects a substantial track record.

Hours and visiting the yard

Bentley's Stone Yard is open 6 days a week, closed on Sunday. The yard opens as early as 8 AM and runs until 5 PM.

Saturday opening makes this a practical option for weekend projects — a real advantage, since plenty of bulk yards shut for the weekend and leave homeowners unable to collect material outside working hours.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in Georgia

Georgia's longer growing season spreads demand across more of the year, which generally means better availability than northern markets. Even so, spring remains the peak for stone, and summer heat makes midday loading and installation punishing — early-morning pickups are worth the alarm clock. Autumn and winter are frequently the best value windows, with shorter queues and more flexible delivery scheduling.
