The Northeast's Premier Source for Domestic & Imported Natural Stone
Newsletter August 2018
IN THIS ISSUE
Its hot.  Yet the weather hasn't impacted selling and installing natural stone!  In this issue we are introducing a Silver Ridge pool coping.  Many know this stone from our Irregular Flagging which is selling very well.  A common theme we are hearing is how difficult it is to hire and retain reliable workers; and there is more work than available labor.  This is why our newer products are becoming so popular:  our Interlocking Thin Veneer Panels and Irregular Flagging install in 20% of the time compared to traditional materials/methods. 

Lastly we now require that appointments be made in advance when sending your customers to our yard.  We simply cannot provide the level of service required by these visits, especially this time of year.  Talk to your sales representative so that every sales opportunity is serviced at the highest level.

Don't forget about the great deals in our Clearance Corner- all the good stuff is moving fast!
PRODUCT FOCUS
New Arrival - Silver Ridge Pool Coping
We are super excited about our new Silver Ridge pool coping.  We currently stock bullnosed coping in two sizes:  2" thick X 14" X 4FT long and 2" thick X 24" X 4FT long.  The 24" is great for pool auto-covers.  We also have 2" slab stock should your project require custom-cut sizes.  Combine Silver Ridge coping with Blue Mist Granite or Thermal Bluestone for very a very attractive contrast.

Affordable Thermal Bluestone
For a limited time we are stocking an affordable thermal bluestone.  The stone is dark blue in color, imported from China and is a great low-cost / high value alternative to domestic bluestone.  The product is packed in sturdy crates with protective foam sheeting.  The dimensions and squareness of these products is the best we have ever seen.  Please call for pricing and availability.

CUSTOMERS VISITING OUR YARD & OUTDOOR SHOWROOMClearance
As many of our resellers know, we have invested in outdoor and indoor displays at our yard in Plainville.  We have encouraged our resellers to send their customers here to view products that they may not carry at their own yards.  Many of these visitors seek assistance from our staff to help them understand the products and advise them about their choices.  As a wholesale distributor our staff is finding it difficult providing these visitors with the time & attention they need.

Going forward please make an appointment with your sales representative prior to sending customers to our yard.  Or you can accompany your customer to our yard and spend the time needed with them.  Customer visits must be accompanied by one of our dealer's staff or by appointment with our staff.

We want all customers to be provided with the best service and make the best choices.  Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
