Stone Yard in Hot Springs AR: What Rockhouse Stone Carries
If you are looking for a stone yard in Hot Springs, Arkansas, you are probably working on one of a few projects. A retaining wall. A patio. A chimney. A house front. An entire landscape. The yard you buy from matters because stone is heavy, it is expensive to ship, and you really want to see the material in person before you commit.
Rockhouse Stone Company operates a 7-acre yard on Highway 7 North, at the same location where Bennett Brothers has been selling stone since 1972. This is what we carry, what it is good for, and how to buy it.
The Address and the Drive
Rockhouse Stone is at 5643 HWY 7 N, Hot Springs, AR 71909. The yard is about 15 minutes north of downtown Hot Springs on Highway 7. For buyers coming from Little Rock, figure roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. From Hot Springs Village, about 20 minutes.
The yard is open to contractors, builders, masons, and property owners. Calling ahead before driving out is the fastest way to confirm current inventory on a specific stone type. A lot of the stone moves quickly and what is in the yard changes weekly. Phone: 501-532-1905.
What Is Actually in the Yard
Seven acres of stone is a lot of stone. The yard is sorted so buyers can find what they need by type, not by sifting through piles. Here is the product range.
Arkansas Fieldstone
The core product of the yard. Irregular pieces in natural shapes and colors. Arkansas fieldstone runs tan, gold, gray, and brown with warm undertones. Sorted by size from small (fist-sized, good for infill) to jumbo (2 feet or larger, good for boulder walls and feature placements).
Used for: retaining walls, house fronts, chimneys, fireplaces, fire pits, planter walls, accent boulders, and any application where natural irregularity is the goal.
Priced per ton. Size sort affects price. Bulk orders for contractors qualify for trade pricing.
Arkansas Flagstone
Thin, flat stone meant for walking surfaces and wall caps. Arkansas flagstone has a natural cleft finish, meaning the top face is textured from the way it splits out of the ground. Colors run gold, tan, gray, and brown. Available in irregular shapes (random flag) and in squared and rectangled cuts (patio grade).
Used for: patios, walkways, steppers, pool coping, wall caps, and hearth stones.
Stocked in full pallets and in broken-pallet quantities for smaller projects. Random flag is less expensive than squared.
Chopped Stone
Fieldstone that has been split with a chopper to give it one or more flat faces while keeping the natural color and texture on the front. Chopped stone stacks faster than raw fieldstone because bed joints are more consistent.
Used for: walls where stacking speed matters, fireplaces where the face needs to be flat, house fronts with mortared stone applications, and any project where the mason wants to work faster without losing the natural look.
Available in multiple thicknesses (typical: 4-inch bed depth) and multiple lengths.
#2 Limestone
Construction-grade limestone in crushed and broken sizes. Not decorative stone. This is what contractors use for driveway base, parking pads, commercial fill, stabilization, and anywhere load-bearing aggregate is needed.
Used for: driveway base, road construction, building pads, erosion control, and fill projects.
Typically ordered by the ton or by the truckload. Delivery can be coordinated for any size order within trucking distance of Hot Springs.
Boulders
Large individual stones from 200 pounds to several tons. Arkansas sandstone, quartzite, and limestone boulders are available. Boulders are sold individually or by the pallet depending on size.
Used for: erosion control, naturalistic landscape features, slope retention, waterfront applications, and feature placements where one large stone is better than many smaller ones.
Placement on-site requires equipment. A mini excavator handles boulders up to about 1,500 pounds. Larger boulders may require a skid steer or larger machine.
Gravel and Aggregates
Beyond #2 limestone, the yard carries a range of decorative and construction gravels. Crushed and pea gravel in various sizes. Decorative river rock. Granite aggregate.
Used for: landscape beds, drainage beds, driveway surfacing, French drains, patio base, and decorative applications.
Sand and Mulch
Stone yards tend to also carry adjacent materials. Mason sand, concrete sand, and play sand are stocked. Bulk mulch is available in standard and dyed colors.
Used for: paver base, mortar, concrete work, landscape beds, and yard maintenance.
Decorative and Specialty Stone
Beyond the core Arkansas product, the yard carries specialty items that rotate based on inventory. Moss rock, weathered fieldstone, specialty colors, and decorative aggregates. Stock varies. Calling ahead is the way to confirm specific items.
How the Yard Works
For small pickup orders, most buyers pull into the yard, talk through what they need at the office, and either load material themselves or have it loaded with the yard equipment. Trucks and trailers can come in, weigh at the scale, load out, and weigh back to calculate ton count.
For larger orders, delivery to the job site is often faster and cheaper than multiple pickup trips. Rockhouse coordinates delivery with local hauling based on order size, distance, and access at the delivery location.
Trade Pricing for Contractors
Verified contractor accounts qualify for trade pricing on the products in the yard. Trade credit and net terms are available for qualified pro accounts. The pricing difference versus retail is meaningful on volume orders, and the terms help with cash flow on larger projects.
Becoming a verified pro is a simple process. Call the yard, provide a business name and contractor license info, and the account gets set up. From then on, orders go on the account and invoices are sent at terms.
Buying From Outside Arkansas
For buyers outside the region who want access to Arkansas stone, Rockhouse Connect is the direct national marketplace. The same inventory in the Hot Springs yard is available through Rockhouse Connect, with freight coordination built in. Trade pricing carries through for verified accounts buying from anywhere in the country.
This is what makes the Rockhouse model different from a traditional stone yard. The 7-acre yard in Hot Springs is a real, operating inventory. Rockhouse Connect is the way that inventory reaches buyers who cannot drive to the yard.
The Bennett Brothers History
The yard location has been a stone operation since 1972, when Bennett Brothers started selling stone from this same site in Hot Springs. Rockhouse Stone Company owns Bennett Brothers, and the two operate side by side. Bennett Brothers retains its own name and local reputation for the walk-in yard business. Rockhouse Stone runs the full modern marketplace through Rockhouse Connect and handles the larger trade, contractor, and out-of-state business.
The practical version: you can drive up to the yard, see stone that has been sold to Arkansas builders for over 50 years, and buy it the same way people have bought it from this spot since the early 1970s. The infrastructure behind it just works differently now.
Come See It in Person
The yard is open weekdays and Saturdays. Calling ahead at 501-532-1905 is recommended, especially for specific stone types or large-volume orders. Walk-ins are welcome for browsing and for small pickup orders.
