Great Stone, Great Mason, Great Home! A Conversation with Fred Anderson of Anderson Construction

Stoneyard.com New England Fieldstone natural stone blends beautifully with your home environment. We are the largest supplier and manufacturer of New England Fieldstone natural stone products. Whether it be thin veneer, building veneer or wallstone, Stoneyard.com has the perfect cut for your next stone project.

Recently, Fred Anderson of Anderson Construction came by the yard to discuss a project with me regarding some special stone that he needed split. He ended up telling us a little about how he feels about Stoneyard.com and our New England Fieldstone products. "They always have an ample supply of whatever size and type of New England Fieldstone that I need. There is never a shortage of stone and I can always count on them to deliver."


A great example he gave was about a job that he completed in Concord, MA. "The job specified some really flat New England Fieldstone. They (Stoneyard.com) were able to produce what I needed to get the job. The stone was sized right for the job application with very little waste. You can get whatever size stone you need with a look that is consistent." This allowed Fred to finish the job on time and on budget. Fred was very happy to work with Stoneyard.com on this challenging project.


Another great aspect of Stoneyard.com and their products is their availability and hands on service. "What I love is that if I ever have any questions about any little detail about the stones or fabrication, John, David, and the sales staff are always available and willing to give their expert opinion on the challenge that I have. They are always glad to help me out." During this visit I worked out a solution to allow Fred to use some stone he had on site that he needed to complete the stonewall he was working on. I didn't sell him any stone, but he will come back next time he needs our New England Fieldstone for his stone solution.


Fred Anderson is an exceptional mason. He tells me that working with stone is like creating a piece of art. You can deliver the same stones to 3 different masons, and each creation will be completely different. If you want top quality workmanship for your landscaping project, feel free to contact Anderson Construction for a review of your plans and an expert consultation.

Getting "In Shape" with Stoneyard.com

Learn how to properly trim Thin Veneer for your next stone project


Here at Stoneyard.com we reclaim New England Fieldstone from farms and fields throughout New England. This natural stone is used to cut my New England Fieldstone Thin Veneers. It is available in four popular cuts including: Ledgestone, Mosaic, Square & Rectangular, and our newest cut, Round. When using these great veneers for your installations please remember that this stone is hard and dense. It is important to layout the stones before you start the install to create the best possible pattern and look for your project.


Trimming of the stone may be necessary if you are looking for a more uniform look. It is recommended that you use masonry tools to trim as much as possible to keep the natural faces of the stone intact. Start from the outside of the stone and work your way in, chipping the stone off in small pieces. If you try to chip too much of the stone at once you may end up breaking it where you didn't intend.



If you need to remove more stone than you can chip, it is recommended that you use a diamond blade to cut the stone. Make sure you mark where you want to cut the stone with something that is water resistant. Cutting stone requires a considerable amount of water to keep the stone cool and the blade free of stone chips and debris. Cutting should be done outside or someplace where you can contain the water and clean it up easily.

Finally, keep your cut about 1/4 of an inch away from where you need to end up. Chip the last 1/4 inch with your masonry tools. This will give the sawn edge a rough natural look that is consistent with the rest of the stone.


Stoneyard.com recommends using a mason or other stone professional to do the installation for your stone projects. For help finding a stone professional near you, please use our Dealer/Installer search. For more information on our products and installation please visit our Literature section. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Check out our New Thin Veneer Saw Video!

It's finally here and up and running! Stoneyard.com has invested in a new Thin Veneer saw to help support the growing demand for our natural stone Thin Veneer products. We will now be able to produce not only new products, but also more uniform cuts and we can keep larger quantities in stock. New England Fieldstone Round Thin Veneer is one of our more popular new products. We have just started production and we have already received several orders for this fantastic looking product.
With the addition of this new saw, we have greater control over the thickness of our thin veneer stone. Our sawn thin veneer will now average from 1.25 to 1.75 inches thick. Having a more consistent thickness will assist with the ease of installation. We will also be able to produce Thin Veneer corners at a faster more productive rate, making the two cuts in only one pass.
We continue to provide top quality New England Fieldstone in many different sizes. Our Dealers and customers have been requesting our products in larger sizes. We now can cut thin veneer up to 12 inches high and 20 inches wide.
This video details the production of our New England Fieldstone Ledgestone Thin Veneer and our Square & Rectangular Corners. Click here to see the Thin Veneer Saw Video.


All of our New England Fieldstone products are green products with a very small Carbon footprint. Make sure to request Stoneyard.com's New England Fieldstone Thin Veneer for your LEED certified project. Our Thin Veneers are New England tested and Mother Nature approved.

Meat and Potato Energy, Not Fossil Fuel!

Some people have asked me “How do you know that your product is green? Everyone says their products are environmentally friendly, but how is a consumer supposed to know?" Here are some helpful tips that will help address this question.

First, it is important to understand that every product requires energy to produce and supply it. A Carbon Footprint is created by burning fossil fuel to create this energy. When you burn fossil fuel during the production of a product you release Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. The less Carbon Dioxide emitted, the smaller the carbon footprint.

“Embodied Energy” is the energy required to produce and supply a product. It includes the energy required to extract, manufacture, and transport a product. The less fossil fuel energy used, the smaller the carbon footprint, and the more environmentally friendly the product. This is usually where most people stop me and say, "but your product is heavy, hard, and very strong, it must require a considerable amount of energy to produce compared to almost any other product." To which I reply, "yes my product is heavy and hard and very strong. This is what makes it such a great choice. However, my New England Fieldstone has very little embodied energy. Let me explain..."

New England Fieldstone is a natural product, so all of the manufacturing energy is natural. Mother Nature makes it, and she does not produce any carbon in her manufacturing facility. Deep down in the depth of the earth natural stone is produced. No machines, no plants, no smokestacks are required. Just clean and pure natural stone.


Next is the extraction step. This is the process of removing the material from the earth. Once again nature has helped us with this process. Through the movements of the glaciers, the shifting of the bedrock plates, and the freeze thaw action in New England, the Fieldstone that we gather is brought to the surface of the ground.

For the last 200 years this was a curse to the farmers who lived off the land. Considerable manpower and mule power had to be exerted to move the Fieldstone to the edge of the fields so that the land could be plowed and farmed. These are the Fieldstone walls that we discover and utilize to produce our New England Fieldstone products.


Now we have to transport the stone to our facility. At this step a tractor and truck are required to load and drive the stone to Littleton, MA. However, all of the stone that we gather comes from within a 50-mile radius of our facility. One truckload of stone can haul over 3000 square feet of Thin Veneer. Although some Carbon is emitted in this step, it is a small amount per square foot.

The final step in the process is to sort, palletize, inspect, clean, and label the product. I use 16 men, 1 forklift, and a loader to complete this process. Most of the energy used in this step comes from meat and potatoes, not fossil fuel. My men lift the stones, place them on wooden pallets (that are manufactured locally with recycled wood), clean the stone, inspect each pallet for quality, and label the pallet. At this point a machine picks up the pallet and moves it into my storage area where it stays until it is ready to be delivered.



The only step left in the process is to transport the product from my facility to the project. At 16 lbs a square foot I can transport over 3,000 square feet of New England Fieldstone Thin Veneer in one truck. The only variable is the distance from my location to the project.

I have reclaimed this green product with ecologically conscious consumers in mind. My New England Fieldstone is 100% natural and environmentally friendly. I work with nature to reclaim material that would in most cases be plowed into the ground and buried. Instead, I gather and process it so that you can display and admire it for its long-lasting beauty, natural strength and very low embodied energy.

Great Walls and Water Spouts

As you enter the pool area through the wrought iron gate of this private residence, you can't help but feel like you're stepping back in time. Water flows from this beautiful rustic water spout, set apart by a unique archway and inlet. This great wall, built of New England Fieldstone Square & Rectangular Building Veneer creates the perfect backdrop for this aquatic showcase.
The owners wanted privacy for a pool that is located directly adjacent to the driveway. These free standing walls are more than 10 ft. tall and span the entire distance of the yard. Once you step into the pool area, you are completely cut off from the world and able to relax free of interruptions.

Our original New England Fieldstone Building Veneer was specially customized for this job. One of the elements that was requested was to leave the aged natural face of each of the stones. The second and most prevalent element was that each of the stones had to be rectangular in shape.

This project was done by Greenscape. To view more photos of this project and to contact the landscape contractor directly, please view their gallery in the Stoneyard.com Design Center.

Lean and Green in Chicago!

We have all noticed the trend toward using more energy-efficient or “green” products. Being environmentally friendly has become a major concern for many homeowners and businesses. Here at Stoneyard.com we carry quality natural stones that are some of the most environmentally friendly products on the market today.


A new private residence is using our New England Ledgestone on a chimney in Chicago, Illinois, requiring more than 2,000 square feet of stone. The beautiful colors and thin cut create an old-world look that is both reminiscent and breathtaking. You can see pictures of this product in the Thin Veneer section of our design center at www.stoneyard.com.

Our New England Fieldstone Thin Veneer products are all-natural, repurposed stone. Dating back to the colonial era, farmers throughout New England ran into a problem with stones in their fields, so they stacked them into walls around their property. As a result, you will find abandoned stone walls throughout New England. Farmers are now cultivating the stone from these walls.


Once we receive the stone, it is sorted by size and quality, then cleaned, cut, split, or sawn as necessary, giving you a beautiful product to display on or in your home. All of our Thin Veneer has a small carbon footprint, making them environmentally friendly. As a homeowner or a contractor, you can feel good knowing that you are doing your part to help the environment.


New England Fieldstone Thin Veneer is available in Ledgestone, Mosaic, and Square & Rectangular. Corners are also available for all cuts, giving the look of a full stone without the added weight.

Visit us online at http://www.stoneyard.com/ or call 800.231.2200 for more information on our New England Fieldstone Thin Veneer or to discuss dealer opportunities.

Fire up Your Winter with a Fabulous Fireplace!

This outdoor fireplace is an excellent way to enjoy those cool evenings in a cozy warm environment! Imagine star gazing by moonlight, listening to the crackle of the fire, taking in the calming aroma of burning wood. Sharing good conversation with close family and friends while toasting your marshmallows over the fire.

Our New England Fieldstone Square & Rectangular Veneer is available as both Building and Thin Veneer. Thin Veneer will give you the look of a full stone, without the added weight. Weighing in at less than 16lbs per SF, it makes installation a breeze! It is important to note that stone should never come in direct contact with the fire. Fire brick is used here to shield the beautiful stone veneer from the flames.

Square & Rectangular pieces are the perfect shape to make the corners flow seamlessly. Here, the stones were used in a weave pattern so that whichever side you view the stone from, you still get a seamless look.

Ehwa Stone Masonry(Ayer, MA) were the master minds behind this unique focal point. To view more pictures of this project and to contact Ehwa for your next stone project, please view their gallery in our Design Center.

Add Tranquility to your Backyard

with a New England Fieldstone Water Feature


The cascading hills, granite outcroppings, sudden streams and beautiful waterfalls of the White Mountains were only available while on vacation to this homeowner. Now with this unique water feature they have a smaller version in their own backyard. The inspiration came from frequent visits to beautiful North Conway, NH. The homeowners wanted to recreate the calming natural ambiance of their favorite vacation spot.


Mike Fontaine of Fontaine Brick & Tile created this feature using a mixture of New England Granite and New England Fieldstone. This combination was made to look as if you stumbled upon a stream in the White Mountains. This feature includes not only a waterfall and stream but also a unique echo chamber that enhances the natural sound of flowing water.

Using New England Fieldstone/Granite boulders and stones, you can create your own unique oasis. The elegance and natural colors of New England Natural Stone will add lasting beauty to any project you can imagine. The addition of a water feature can make any space the focal point of your yard. Escaping to a calming serene environment after a long hard day can be a real boost to the mind and body.

W.I.P. Your Yard into Shape!



Are your hills falling? Then pick them back up with a New England Fieldstone Building Veneer retaining wall. Veneers are not only used on the exterior of residential and commercial structures but they can also be used on a masonry landscape stonewall.

These photos provided by Greenscape detail a work in progress (WIP), using our popular New England Fieldstone Square & Rectangular Building Veneer. They created a beautiful wall that is both structurally sound and visually appealing.

For more pictures of this project and many others, please visit the Greenscape Gallery in our Design Center.
