Who Rural Stone WA is, what we supply, and why the quarrying and processing stays local.

Fifty years of WA stone.

Rural Stone WA has been supplying natural stone across Western Australia for over fifty years. The business is built around the Toodyay Stone quarry, the only one currently active on the formation in the state, and has grown outward from there to cover sandstone, travertine, granite, and feature boulders. Every stone in the range has a project record in WA behind it.

The core WA materials are quarried and processed locally. Toodyay quartzite comes out of the Avon Valley formation north-east of Perth and is cut at our Hamilton Hill yard. Donnybrook Sandstone comes from the south-west region. International supply (Travertine from Tuscany, Western Sunset Sandstone) is hand-selected at the source and cut to brief on-shore. Nothing in the range is a catalogue order.

The work has gone across commercial precincts, public landscape, education campuses, hospitality, and private residential. Optus Stadium, Kings Park, Wellington Square, All Saints College, Gage Roads Brewery, and a long list of residential work across Perth and the south-west. The projects change. The approach doesn't: source it well, cut it carefully, supply it direct.

This journal is where we write about specification, material behaviour, and the projects we supply. If you're an architect, builder, or landscaper working in WA and you need straightforward information about natural stone, this is the right place to start.
