ORDERING MASONRY & LANDSCAPE SUPPLY IN NORTHAMPTON, PA
Sourcing the right stone, brick, and hardscape materials for a project can feel like a lot to sort through, from matching the right paver brand to figuring out delivery logistics. Valley Stone Supply built this FAQ page to give contractors and homeowners across the Lehigh Valley straightforward answers before they place an order. Every answer reflects how the yard actually operates, from call-ahead ordering to on-site fabrication, so there is no guesswork about what to expect.
FIT & SERVICES
-
Valley Stone Supply stocks natural stone, brick, pavers, masonry block, boulders, bulk materials such as gravel and mulch, landscape lighting, and a full line of masonry tools and supplies. The yard operates out of a single Northampton, PA location that combines the former Brick Yard with Valley Stone Supply's product lines, giving contractors and homeowners one stop for hardscape and masonry materials. Brands on hand include Unilock, Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavingstones, and ProVia. Materials are available for pickup or delivery depending on the order.
-
Valley Stone Supply supplies and fabricates materials rather than performing on-site installation, so homeowners and contractors looking for a full installation crew need to hire a licensed hardscape contractor for that portion of the work. The team does offer installation guidance and DIY consultations during a project visit, covering measurements, templating, and material selection. Contractors regularly buy directly from Valley Stone Supply and handle installation themselves. Homeowners without a contractor are welcome to ask the team for guidance on finding one.
-
Valley Stone Supply serves both contractors and homeowners, offering contractor discounts alongside retail sales for DIY projects. Assistance loading is available at no charge regardless of order size, and call-ahead ordering helps both audiences plan pickup times around business hours.
-
Valley Stone Supply serves Northampton, PA and communities throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Bushkill Township, Macungie, Palmer Township, Saucon Valley, Schnecksville, Emmaus, and Wilson, among other surrounding areas. The yard's single Northampton location keeps delivery times manageable across most of this territory. Customers outside the immediate area are welcome to call ahead to confirm delivery availability.
SERVICES OVERVIEW
-
Valley Stone Supply runs a full fabrication shop on-site that cuts, templates, bullnoses, polishes, engraves, and color-matches or style-matches natural stone and brick. Cutting services extend to thin brick and natural stone veneer for exact-fit applications. Stone flaming is also available, a process that applies high heat to a natural stone surface to expose the rougher texture underneath and create a weathered look. Materials not currently in stock are typically sourced and ready within two weeks.
-
A project consultation pairs a customer with a team member either at the Northampton location, the customer's home, or the job site to talk through material selection and project details. The visit covers measurements, templating services, and design assistance suited to the scope of the project. Installation guidance is included for customers planning to do the work themselves. Consultations are available for contractors managing multiple jobs and homeowners tackling a single project alike.
-
Palletized products such as pavers, block, and brick are delivered on a flatbed truck equipped with a forklift, while bulk materials like gravel, sand, and mulch go out on dump trucks. Deliveries run Monday through Friday during business hours, and the exact delivery window is left to the driver's discretion. Customers who prefer to haul their own materials get free loading assistance from the team, even across multiple trips.
PROCESS
-
Customers place orders by calling ahead or visiting the Northampton yard directly, which lets the team prepare the order and confirm pickup or delivery timing in advance. Contractors with recurring orders and homeowners placing a one-time order follow the same process. Special or out-of-stock materials get sourced through Valley Stone Supply's supplier network, typically arriving within two weeks.
-
Valley Stone Supply sources out-of-stock materials directly for the customer and typically has them ready within two weeks. This applies to natural stone, pavers, brick, and other product lines carried at the yard. The fabrication shop on-site allows the team to customize sourced pieces to the exact specifications discussed during the consultation.
COMMUNICATION & ACCOUNTABILITY
-
Customers reach the Valley Stone Supply team directly by phone or through the website's contact form, and inquiries typically get a response the same business day. The same team members who handle project consultations also field questions about existing orders. Contractors with ongoing accounts work with a consistent point of contact for repeat orders.
-
Delivery changes get handled by contacting Valley Stone Supply directly as soon as the change is known, since deliveries run on a Monday through Friday schedule during business hours. Because delivery timing is at the driver's discretion, building in some flexibility around the original window helps avoid last-minute conflicts. The team works with contractors and homeowners alike to find a new delivery slot that fits the project timeline.
MATERIALS & DURABILITY
-
Materials carried at Valley Stone Supply, including Unilock, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavingstones, are manufactured to withstand the freeze-thaw cycles typical of Lehigh Valley winters. Natural stone products like bluestone and flagstone have a long track record in the region for outdoor patios, walkways, and walls. Choosing the right base material and installation method still matters for long-term performance, which is part of what the project consultation covers.
-
Unilock, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavingstones each bring different textures, color ranges, and price points to a project, though all three are manufactured for durability in outdoor hardscape use. Valley Stone Supply's stock and availability run deepest with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavingstones, while Unilock is also available as a dealer option. A project consultation is the fastest way to compare samples side by side and match a brand to the look and budget of a specific project.
PRICING & GETTING STARTED
-
Pricing depends on the material, quantity, and any fabrication work involved, such as custom cutting, templating, or color-matching. Contractors receive discounted pricing on materials purchased for client projects. Getting an accurate quote starts with a call or a project consultation where the team reviews the scope of the job.
-
Having basic project measurements, a rough material list, and any inspiration photos ready speeds up both a phone call and an in-person consultation. Contractors placing bulk or recurring orders should have their account information on hand if one has already been set up. Homeowners without a clear material list yet are still welcome to start with a consultation, since design assistance is part of that visit.
-
New customers start by calling 610-261-1100, visiting the Northampton yard at 1001 Nor-Bath Blvd, or submitting a request through the website's contact form. From there, the team schedules a consultation or takes the order directly for in-stock materials.
“The entire crew to include Justin and Bruce were amazing! They took the time with my visual AI pathway to a fire pit and help me decide which would work best. They saved me money compared to the big box stores, and honored Veterans with a discount. I referred my son in-law Josh to them where they treated him right and purchased rock for his yard. They're the real deal in the valley!”
