The Amherst, Ohio area spans an irregular belt, 'Berea,' which has become the "Sandstone Center of the World." Throughout a century, this natural wonder has produced a total of 500 million cubic feet of quality sandstone.  New uses are constantly being developed for sandstone because of its durability and strength. These include the renovation and restoration of existing structures, the building of prestigious residential projects and the production of standard landscape items such as patio stones, wall stones and split face ashlar.
