What is the difference between Builders and Chopped grade?

Builders grade stone has less consistent sizing — pieces vary more in thickness and dimensions. Chopped grade is machine-cut for more uniform sizes. The stone material itself is identical in quality and durability.

Is Granbury Builders good enough for an outdoor kitchen?

Yes. Many DFW outdoor kitchens use builders grade stone. The varied sizing can actually create a more natural, organic look. A skilled mason can work with the variation to create a professional result.

How much can I save with Granbury Builders?
