Bear Ridge Estate Ledgerock Blend - Full Bed Building Stone

Some blends are designed in a yard, this one was designed on a mountainside in Idaho. Bear Ridge Estate began as a custom commission for a timber-frame home in the Idaho high country — a build anchored by massive exposed timber columns that demanded stone with equal presence. Working with the homeowner, we composed a four-stone ledgerock blend deep enough to hold its own against heavy timber, big sky, and vibrant foliage. The photographs on this page are the original Bear Ridge build, however note that the Bear Ridge home shown was clad in the thin veneer format of this blend; the full bed version is the same four-stone blend however in full-depth cut.

THE BLEND 

• 30% Elite Blue Granite Ledgerock — the structural grey-blue foundation
• 30% Brown Limestone Ledgerock — warmth and earth tones
• 20% Midnight Black Ledgerock — depth and contrast
• 20% Tigerstripe Limestone Ledgerock — banded character and movement

The result reads as one coherent wall with constant variation — cool and warm in tension, dark seams running through it, no two courses alike. All four components are genuine quarried natural stone from Ontario, Canada, cut in ledgerock format - long, low-profile pieces that stack into strong horizontal lines — the same linear language as timber framing, which is why this blend and heavy wood belong together. 

FORMAT

Full bed building stone, ledgerock cut — full-depth natural stone for structural and traditional masonry applications. Sold per ton (~2,000 lbs). Price shown above is per ton.

COVERAGE ESTIMATES

A common planning estimate is 40 square feet of coverage per ton of full bed stone. However, actual coverage can vary significantly from project to project. Factors that affect yield include:

• Whether your mason trims stones on site
• Mortar joint thickness (tight, standard, or wide joints)
• Natural thickness variation within the stone
• Waste factor based on pattern, layout, and skill level
• Installation method (e.g., standard mortar vs. dry stack)

Because of these variables, coverage can realistically range from ~25 sq. ft. to 50+ sq. ft. per ton.

OVERAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Normal/standard overage is typically ±20%. However, you may require significantly more overage if:

• Your mason will be trimming/cutting extensively
• You are installing a dry stack (tight-fit, zero-joint) project
• Your design includes detailed corners or heavy waste-prone layouts

If you are unsure how much stone your project requires, contacting us for additional guidance. 

PALLET WEIGHTS & TRUCKLOAD QUANTITY

• A standard skid of full bed stone weighs approximately 1 ton (2,000 lbs).
• A full truckload is typically 23 tons (46,000 lbs).
• For safe and efficient transport, we reserve the right to palletize skids as needed — this may mean heavier or lighter pallets, or a different pallet count per order.

DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

All full bed stone deliveries require appropriate off-loading equipment on site (e.g., forklift, skid steer, telehandler). The driver cannot unload the stone manually.
