Drohan was not my first place to visit in my quest to find dry stacked stone material that matched something existing I have at home. After visiting two other retailers, with one finding an exact match, I learned that there was so much more to this adventure than just finding stone. Delivery is also a consideration, as well as how they place the stone, which is something I hadn't thought of previously. I know consider myself somewhat educated. As far as delivery goes, in my situation, which a contractor on standby I needed someone who could provide a firm delivery date. Also, most retailers will "drop" the stone (meaning it gets dumped or slid off a truck and can/will break). While some will provide forklift service for yet an additional fee for gentler handling of the stone, Drohan provides crane or forklift service included in their $100 delivery fee. That combined with good customer service, the product I needed at a decent price, and ease of purchase made this a no brainer. I just hope the install of my product is as effortless! Some things to know: Drohan does not install these materials - which extend beyond rock, to brick and masonry supplies, patio grills and furniture, and other hardscaping materials and tools. They have an assortment of samples on various features (outdoor fireplaces/pits, patios, walls, etc) installed so you can see the final product. The stone yard has an abundance of materials to choose from, and you can choose and tag your stone pallet. Jaryd provided excellent customer service before and during the sale, and my delivery is on the books. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. So while I don't see myself buying stone/brick/block on the regular I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. read more
