Quarry-Direct Price List

Sandstone Prices Sydney 2026

How much does sandstone cost in Sydney? Quarry direct, the answer in 2026 runs from about $65 per square metre for sawn modular paving to $190 per square metre for hydrasplit blocks, with logs, boulders and crushed sandstone sold by the piece or by the tonne. This page brings every Stone Front price guide onto one list so you can compare products before you ask for a quote.

All prices are for stone only, ex-quarry at Glenorie in Sydney’s Hills District, and are a guide rather than a quote — pallet pricing moves with colour selection, thickness and quantity. Delivery is priced by suburb and access; collection from the quarry is free. Installation is separate and depends on your landscaper or stonemason.

What Drives the Price of Sandstone

Four things set the price of a piece of sandstone: how much cutting it has had, its thickness, whether the colour is quarry-run or hand-selected, and the quantity. Split products (flagging, hydrasplit strips, rough squared blocks) need less machine time than sawn products, so crazy paving at $85/m² sits below sawn all round pavers at $120/m². Thicker stock costs more per square metre because there is simply more stone in it — a 100mm paver contains twice the stone of a 50mm one.

Quarry-run pallets, which blend the natural colour range, are the most economical; single-colour or matched selections cost more because the stone has to be sorted. Trade and civil quantities are quoted by the tonne or by the project, where per-unit prices fall.

Worked Examples: What a Typical Job Costs

A 40m² courtyard in sawn flagging (crazy paving) at 50mm is about $3,400 in stone, plus 10–15% extra for cuts and waste. The same courtyard in sawn all round pavers is roughly $4,800. A 10m long, 800mm high garden retaining wall is 8m² of wall face: about $960 in rough squared block pallets, or $1,440 in rockfaced blocks, plus crushed sandstone backfill. A 6m front fence clad both sides at 1.2m high is about 14.4m² of handsplit cladding, around $2,000 in stone.

Delivery across greater Sydney is typically a flat truck fee per load with crane options for tight access, so combining products on one delivery is cheaper than several. For a firm price, send your measurements through the quote form and you will have pallet quantities, delivery and a total usually the same business day.

Sandstone Compared With Other Materials

On material cost alone, sandstone paving sits above plain concrete pavers and around the level of good porcelain, but below premium imported stone such as travertine or bluestone in large formats. The difference shows over time: natural sandstone can be re-honed, re-sealed and re-laid, and the colour improves rather than fades. Against timber sleepers for retaining walls, sandstone blocks cost more up front and last several times longer.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does sandstone cost per square metre in Sydney?

Quarry direct in 2026, sandstone paving runs from about $65/m² (sawn modular) to $120/m² (sawn all round), wall stone from $120/m² (rough squared blocks) to $190/m² (hydrasplit blocks), and cladding from $140/m². Logs, boulders and crushed stone are priced per piece or per tonne.

How much is a tonne of sandstone?

Loose block, boulder and crushed sandstone are quoted per tonne and vary with grade and size — random boulders and crushed sandstone are the least expensive per tonne, select boulders and large blocks the most. Ask for a per-tonne quote with your delivery suburb.

Is sandstone cheaper than concrete pavers?

Plain concrete pavers are cheaper to buy; sawn sandstone starts at roughly $65/m² and split flagging at $85/m². Sandstone costs more up front but can be re-honed and re-laid, keeps its colour and adds more to a property, which is why it remains the Sydney standard.

Why are quarry-direct sandstone prices lower?

There is no stone yard margin, no re-handling and no interstate freight: the stone is quarried, sawn and palletised on the one site at Glenorie and delivered straight to you.

Does the price include delivery and installation?

No — the guide prices are for stone only, ex-quarry. Delivery is quoted by suburb and access (collection is free), and installation is priced by your landscaper or stonemason.
