See it before you buy it
Photos flatten stone. Color shifts in daylight, texture reads differently at full scale, and a full pallet tells you things a product page can’t. That’s why our yards are open to the public: eight acres in San Martin, ten in Livermore, and an indoor showroom in Mountain View where you can plan a fireplace or a facade at your own pace. Walk the lot, put your hands on the material, and talk with people who have spent decades matching stone to projects. Customers tell us the visit is what finally makes the decision easy.
For architects, designers, and masons
The trade has kept Peninsula busy for a century, and it still gets its own lane. Expect spec-level detail on origin, finish, and application, material calculators for quantity takeoffs, and an Architectural Resources library covering dimensional stone and veneer profiles. And the trade gets two showrooms of its own: Walnut Creek for the East Bay and Pacific Grove for the Monterey Peninsula, both serving industry professionals only.
Since 1923
The Morey family opened the first Peninsula yard on El Camino Real in 1923, after two decades of contracting work that helped build Stanford University. Sunset Magazine put us on its cover in 1957. A century later we’re still the same kind of business: a working stone yard run by people who know the material.
