Empire Stone Company

Natural stone of all kinds from ledgestone to veneer to over-​sized slabs to flagstone to river rock to boulders to sand and gravel. If you’re looking for lots of stone for a big project, like facing a house exterior on inside fireplace or creating landscape — hardscape, this is a great place to come peruse the options. If you’re looking for a small amount of stone for something simpler, ditto. You can even walk about the stone yard and pick out the «just so» pieces if you’re doing a very small project.
We think one of the coolest things they do here is provide «bird bath rocks». Boulders from small to large which are split, either naturally or on purpose, which can be drilled out with irrigation piping added in the setting of your yard to create a very natural looking little bubbling water feature that birds will love. From song birds to ground birds, like quail, the one we put in among landscaping leading to our front door gets a great workout from birds (and rabbits and squirrels) and the water sound is welcoming for human visitors too. A not so expensive thing to do when planned into landscape and the return is so worth it.
Empire Stone also makes stone garden benches out of natural stone materials, each of which is unique. They typically have a couple at the store to look at and can make them to order as well.
Very friendly and helpful people work here.
