Arkansas Fieldstone Prices: A 2026 Pricing Guide by Pallet and Ton

Fieldstone pricing is the question that decides most stone projects in Arkansas before any other decision gets made. Homeowners and builders working through a project budget need a real read on what a wall, a feature, or a veneer project is actually going to cost in stone alone before figuring out base, mortar, jointing, and labor. The number is the gate that everything else fits behind.

This guide walks through what Arkansas fieldstone actually costs in 2026 across the standard size and color categories, how pallet pricing compares to ton pricing, what makes the price move up or down, and what to expect on delivery, base material, and the total fully-loaded number for typical residential and commercial projects.

What Arkansas fieldstone costs in 2026

Most Arkansas yards price fieldstone in three units: per pallet, per ton, and per piece. The right unit depends on the project size. Approximate 2026 pricing across Central Arkansas:

One-man fieldstone (wallstone size)

The most common fieldstone category, suitable for hand-placed walls, garden features, and accent stone.

• Mixed color, by the ton: $250 to $400
• Mixed color, by the pallet: $300 to $550 (typical 1 to 1.5 tons per pallet)
• Select color (single tone, hand-blended): $350 to $500 per ton
• Premium or specialty color: $400 to $650 per ton

Two-man fieldstone

Larger pieces requiring two installers or stone tongs to handle. Used in feature walls, water features, and any project where stone mass matters.

• By the ton: $300 to $500
• By the pallet: $400 to $700 (typically 1 to 1.25 tons per pallet)

Three-man and boulder grade

Stones 150 pounds and up, placed with equipment. Priced per piece rather than per ton at most yards.

• 150 to 500 pound stones: $50 to $150 per piece
• 500 to 1,000 pound stones: $150 to $300 per piece
• 1,000+ pound true boulder grade: $300 to $800+ per piece, depending on size and uniqueness

Chopped fieldstone

Stone with a partially chopped back face for cleaner mortar work while keeping the natural weathered front. Used in veneer and finish-grade work.

• By the ton: $400 to $650
• By the pallet: $500 to $850

Loose fieldstone (per piece)

For small projects, repairs, or specific accent stones.

• Small pieces (5 to 15 lb): $3 to $8 each
• Medium pieces (15 to 50 lb): $8 to $20 each
• Larger one-man pieces (50 to 100 lb): $20 to $50 each

What moves fieldstone pricing up or down

Several factors push pricing within these ranges. Knowing which ones matter most for the project keeps the order on budget.

Color selection

Mixed-color or "blend" pallets are the most plentiful inventory at any Arkansas yard, and they price the lowest. Single-color pulls (all buff, all gray, all rust) require the yard to sort or special-order from the quarry, which adds cost. Premium hand-blended pallets where the yard has manually selected the stones cost the most per ton.

Pallet versus ton

For projects ordering at least one full pallet, pallet pricing is usually slightly better than the equivalent ton math because the yard avoids handling time. For projects needing partial pallet quantities, ton pricing is the right unit and the yard will load to the requested weight.

Yard pickup versus delivery

Pickup at the yard is free if the homeowner or contractor brings a truck or trailer rated for the load. Delivery within the Hot Springs Village, Hot Springs, Benton, and Bryant areas typically runs $75 to $200 per trip depending on distance and weight. Delivery further into rural Garland County and Saline County prices on the order.

Order quantity

Larger orders generally get better per-ton pricing because the yard is moving more material per delivery and per setup. A 10-ton order will often price at a lower per-ton rate than a 2-ton order of the same stone.

Quarry source and supply timing

Fieldstone is a natural material with variable supply. When a particular quarry has a strong run of buff or rust color, those pallets price more competitively because the supply is good. When supply is tight on a specific color, pricing moves up.

What a complete fieldstone project costs

The total cost of a fieldstone project is stone plus supporting materials. For typical Arkansas residential applications:

A 30-foot residential garden wall (1.5 to 2 foot tall)

• Approximately 3 to 4 tons of one-man fieldstone
• Stone cost: $900 to $1,600
• Base material (3 tons of crushed stone): $135 to $180
• Mortar and supplies (if mortared): $100 to $200
• Stone and materials total: $1,135 to $1,980

A 50-foot residential retaining wall (3 to 4 foot tall, dry-set)

• Approximately 8 to 12 tons of mixed one-man and two-man fieldstone
• Stone cost: $2,400 to $5,000
• Base material (6 tons): $270 to $360
• Drainage stone (2 tons of #57): $90 to $120
• Stone and materials total: $2,760 to $5,480

A residential boulder accent grouping (5 to 7 boulders)

• 5 to 7 three-man and boulder-grade stones
• Stone cost: $750 to $2,800 depending on size
• Delivery and equipment placement: $200 to $500
• Stone and placement total: $950 to $3,300

A residential fieldstone veneer project (200 sq ft)

• Approximately 4 to 5 tons of chopped fieldstone
• Stone cost: $1,600 to $3,250
• Mortar, ties, and supplies: $250 to $400
• Stone and materials total: $1,850 to $3,650

These numbers cover stone and supporting materials only. Installation labor, if hired separately, runs an additional cost that varies by crew and complexity.

Pricing comparison: Arkansas fieldstone versus alternatives

Buyers comparing Arkansas fieldstone to other stone options usually look at three alternatives:

• Manufactured stone veneer: typically $7 to $15 per square foot installed for the stone itself, lower upfront cost but lacks the natural variation and ages differently than real stone over time
• Imported natural stone (Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Colorado fieldstone): typically 30 to 60 percent higher delivered to Arkansas because of shipping distance from source
• Local Arkansas fieldstone: the lowest cost natural stone option for Arkansas projects because the supply chain is short

For projects in Garland County and Saline County, Arkansas fieldstone is almost always the lowest-cost path to a real-stone result. The only situations where importing makes sense are projects requiring a specific color or formation not available locally.

What to ask the yard before placing the order

A short conversation usually settles the order quickly.

• What is the current per-ton and per-pallet price for the size and color I need?
• Can I walk the yard and pick the specific pallets I want?
• What is the delivery cost to my address in Garland County or Saline County?
• Is loose stone available if I only need a few pieces?
• Do you stock base material, mortar, and supporting supplies?
• What is the timeline for delivery once the order is placed?
• Do you offer pickup loading help if I bring my own truck?

Most yards in Central Arkansas will quote in one conversation. Larger commercial orders may take an additional day to confirm pricing with the quarry source.
