Just look in the phone book for stone dealers. They sell slabs (Pennsylvania
bluestone is excellent) for ridiculously low prices ( around 25 cents per pound). They are used to selling by weighing your vehicle before and after loading, so you will be a source of entertainment to them. When I did this, stone (about 30" x 15"), hammer and chisel together set me back about $20. Wear glasses when chipping the stone to size. If you want something with really smooth edges, take it to a headstone maker. (I recall you have many in Vermont.) They have the diamond saws needed to make the cuts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodger Kessler" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:26 PM Subject: [IBC] slabs Is anyone aware of anyone who sells slabs either stock sizes or to spec??

Living in VT, you should be able to find plenty of suitable slabs in the
mountains around you. Most of the ones that are sold are artificial, and not nearly as convincing as real ones.

Just a note to readers in the UK.
You may be commiting a criminal offence if you collect stones of any kind 'from the wild'. Readers everywhere are encouraged to consult the local regulations.

This request strikes me as odd, or perhaps it is me that is odd, but if you are talking about a natural piece of stone as a slab, last time I checked mother nature was not doing stock sizes. I imagine you could chisel one down to a spec size, but I find a natural edge more impressive than a contrived one.

Thought I recognised that as I was reading :-)
This last paragraph 'The new trespass laws, included in the Criminal Justice Act, allow prosecution for trespass. Permission must be obtained, if you move off public rights of way, to wander on private land anywhere in the UK.' is probably overdue for revision. The problem is that I am still not certain what the new 'right to roam' act really means. Must start looking! Yes we are a small island but there are still plenty of places that feel really wild. In reality though, hardly any of it is unchanged by mans influence. Virtually none of our original climax vegetation survives.

I've found 'stock' sized floor tile of slate (18" sq, 12" sq, etc.) which
can be broken around the edges with a pipe wrench. This would give a light but natural slab sized for a small to medium sized planting. I like the natural look. I'm looking at possibly planting on a thicker flagstone, primarily for the look.
