"Thanks Finn and Anne! I was quoted $20,000 for manufactured retaining wall blocks to replace the wooden railroad ties around my pool. Then I found your website online. Your 3-4inch stone costs far less and looks better than those fake blocks ever could. As you can see the 3-4inch stone worked great for my wall, steps, walkway, and waterfall. Hope to see you and the kids again soon." --- Albert from Desoto, MO |
"The deck and patio project is finally finished. We are very happy with the way it turned out. And we will always have fond memories of our stone shopping with Anne and Finn." --- Don and Michelle from Saint Louis, MO |
"The walkway was a lot of work, but well worth it. So happy with the stone and the results. We are contemplating doing another walkway next year in front of our house leading up to our front door." --- Wayne from Saint Louis, MO |
"Working with Gottschalk quarry was an absolute find. Where else would one get to deal directly with a supplier on the specifics of the stone that one required? I was able to pick out my stone and organize the delivery of a natural Ozark stone, not an imported or east coast variety. A similiar stone at a local supplier would have cost twice as much. Finn worked with me on the delivery in difficult circumstances and we were able to work things out in a very positive manner. The stone is of the highest quality, one can dress it any manner you see fit to suit your specific application. As you can see from my patio, I dressed all the wall stone in a fieldstone manner, the stones are circular in nature, no sharp edges. The patio itself, had jagged edged stone. The ultra thin stone is an excellent option for anyone who wants to do some stone cladding etc. I would strongly recommend anyone to do business with Gottschalk Quarry." --- Shane from O'fallon, MO |
"As you can see, the house turned out great! We are very glad to have chosen your quarry as our source. We would be proud to be on your website. Thanks again. " --- John from Rolla, MO |
"We are definitely enjoying our flagstone walkway! Everyday I see it I enjoy it. I have received nothing but positive comments on how it looks. Everyone that sees it for the first time has very positive comments. They inquire as to where I got the flagstone and I highly recommend your business. I truly appreciate the effort you took to satisfy me as a customer. It is indeed a pleasure working with you." --- Dean from Florissant, MO |
| "Working with the Gottschalks was simple, straightforward, and enjoyable. They selected stone ideal for my project, provided it at the time they promised, and answered all my questions. The natural stone is beautiful, their prices are fantastic for hand-cut stone, and I love how my yard looks!" --- Gretchen from Poplar Bluff, MO |
"The stone worked out great! The dry stack wall looks like I spent a fortune! Stone bench finished also. Made the wedding extra special. Thanks for all your help! You guys are the best. " --- Jay from Carlyle, IL |
"As I was working on my patio, I found I needed two additional pallets of the same stone to complete the job. Finn and Anne had a couple other big orders for the same stone. They worked overtime to fill my order and held it for me until I could pick it up." --- Andy from St. Charles, MO |
"Thanks so much for the stone that was delivered last week. It looks terrific. I was able to get the patio in on Saturday and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. A few of the neighbors have already inquired about it, and I told them how reasonable your prices were and how easy you guys are to work with. Thanks also to your husband for the Friday delivery. I appreciated his willingness to navigate the city streets and alleys to drop the stone in a convenient location for me. " --- Nick from Saint Louis, MO |
"Well...the rocks are completely awesome!!! Can't tell you how much we love them. When we off loaded them, they sat at the beginning of our driveway for a few days and everytime we drove by we would ooh and aah over them. The big rock was just spectaular and we are working it out in our heads as to where it should go. It is definitely a focal point. Once this project is finished, we will come visit you and your quarry. You guys are great and you did an excellent job picking out the right combination. Thank you both and we look forward to meeting you some day soon." --- Mickey and Sylvia from Ramsey, Illinois |
| "Getting our stone from Anne & Finn was one of the bright spots in building our new home. "We found their stone selling for one-third the price of the manufactured stone we were considering. From the quality of service to the quality of rock, we're so happy we went with their native stone. It is beautiful." --- Sue & Keith from Peidmont, MO |
| "I just want to say that it has been great working with the flagstone. The project turned out so much better then we thought it would. The neighbors have all said what beautiful stone we found and at our recent party the new outdoor living space that we created was fantastic. We thank you very much and can't wait until next spring so we can start another rock project. " --- The McCoys from Saint Louis, MO |

"Hi Anne, I finished up my patio project and wanted to thank you guys for the beautiful stone. If you find anyone in need of a contractor please pass my name along." --- George Mahoney from St. Louis, MO 314-620-5307 |
"We are absolutely thrilled with the quality, value and aesthetics of our stone! The winding garden pathway is an oasis in what was once considered a disasterous back yard. It has added extra outdoor living space, and given our two young boys a really great area to play outside. As we continue our yard beautification project down the sides and out front, we will definitely be utilizing more gorgeous stones from the Gottschalks. It has been an absolute pleasure working with this customer-centric family business. ---Jen and Tim from Fenton, MO |
"After a few weekends of dodging the weather, we finally have our patio in with your beautiful stone. We are very pleased and happy with the stone. It was a labor of love and sweat! It was a pleasure to see your place and have the opportunity to choose the right stone. We will recommend you to anyone, thanks for bringing a part of your Missouri to ours! --- Rob and Jann from Webster Groves, MO |
"Thank You to the entire Gottschalk Family! The stone worked perfect. I was able to break most of the stone with a 3 lb. sledge and shape them into the needed size/shape with very little waste. We completed this 45 foot garden wall on our new home and I have no doubt it has added value and curb appeal. The prices were, by far, the best I found in Southeast Missouri and I suggest anyone within driving distance give this family owned/operated business the opportunity to meet your building needs." --- Chase and Jodi from Poplar Bluff, MO |
| "Hi Anne. Love the colors of the stone and how we have reclaimed more living space in the backyard!" --- Rick and Ann from Saint Louis, MO |
| "The subdivision residents love the sign. I've received nothing but compliments on the stone and your work. I've talked to several folks who are considering adding some stone on their property. Of course, I tell them how great both of you have been to work with." --- Drew from Old Clarkson Forest in Chesterfield, MO |
"We decided to extend our patio and enclose it with a brick wall. We were looking for ideas to accent the aggregate already in place and the wall. The stone was the perfect solution. We were very pleased with the quality and the blend of color in the stone. --- Larry and Joann from Saint Louis, MO |
"Dear Anne, I found the stone exceptional, it was easy to work and matched the description I was given when ordering. The service you and Finn provided was excellent, you provided timely information and were always pleasant to work with. When I have the opportunity, I will be back for more stone. Hope to see and hear from you soon." --- Grant from Washington, MO |
