Basket Range Sandstone
Basket Range Sandstone is known for its diverse coloration—ranging from sandy, golden, light brown, to pale orange and even grey or black hues. The stone can vary from tight-grained and hard to coarser and softer types, making it versatile for both building and landscaping projects. Its flatter, more angular shape makes it particularly well-suited for dry stack random walls, offering both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Basket Range ‘Mortar’ Walling
Mortar is a mixture of sand and cements that is most often used to build brick or block walls. While that may sound like the same recipe used to make concrete, there are some intentional differences. Like concrete, mortar is also designed to be durable, but achieves its goal through finesse. Its strengths are quite low and it is never used in thick applications and much creamier to work with.
