For the Trade · A Working Slab Yard
Why designers
choose Royal Stone.
A process built for the trade — hand-selected in Italy, photographed in Los Angeles, and held on deposit for the designers and architects who specify us. Same ownership since 1997.
A Process Note
No. 003
Royal Stone is a slab yard, not a showroom with a sales floor. Designers walk the racks; slabs are tagged by lot and date; deposits hold them for the project; we ship nationwide on our own A-frames.
This page is the working summary of how we partner with architects and interior designers — the eight commitments we hold ourselves to, and the practical programs that move stone from the quarry floor to the installed surface.
Eight Commitments to the Trade
What working with us
actually looks like.
01
Sourcing
Hand-selecting in Italy
Twice a year Rodney and the buying team fly to Verona and Carrara to walk the warehouses alongside our mill partners. Every slab on our racks was chosen in person — pattern, vein movement, and bookmatch potential scored before it ever leaves the quarry floor.
02
Continuity
Same ownership since 1997
Royal Stone is family-owned and has stood at 2303 S Sepulveda since 1997. The same hands buy, slab-handle, and counsel designers on what will actually work in their project. Continuity is the point.
03
Trade
Working with architects
We speak the language of drawings and specifications. Send us elevations and a finish schedule and we will return takeoff slabs, BM (book-match) layouts, and viable alternatives within a working day. RC papers, Hon. AIA presentations, and bid-spec sets are all in our weekly flow.
04
Detailing
Bookmatching expertise
Cristallo Cobalt, Calacatta Monet, Patagonia — any slab that is an open book, we will read it. Bring a sketch, and we will layout the mirror in the yard, photograph it under raking light, and number every leaf and header so the fabrication shop gets pieces in correct sequence.
05
Specifying
Designer support
Showroom appointments, on-site consultations, finish samples, off-cut and remnant programs for set-designers, and trade pricing across our full collection. Designers who specify Royal Stone get a direct line to the slab yard — not a sales rep passing messages downstream.
06
Logistics
Limited release, nationwide shipping
Single-container inventory per stone. What is in the yard today is on the racks in the yard today, and when it is gone it is not coming back this season. We ship A-frame nationwide with our own blanket-wrap carriers — deliveries to Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Aspen, Miami, and New York are weekly.
07
Programs
Hold policy with deposit
A 25 % deposit holds a slab or full set for 30 days; 50 % holds for 90 days. Holds are released if the project pauses — no questions, the stone returns to inventory. We do not allow orphan holds; it keeps the slabs moving and the trade honest.
08
Service
Photography service
Every hold comes with a free single-slab photograph set under our raking-light rig — five angles, full reveal, and a vein-marked detail. For features and bookmatch installs, our photographer will come to the job site and the yard. Designer-ready files drop within 48 hours.
From First Call to Installed Surface
How a project
runs at Royal Stone.
Five steps, no surprises. Every project moves through the same milestones whether the slab count is one or forty.
01
Inquiry
Send drawings, finish schedule, and approximate budget. We respond same-day with stone options and slab dimensions.
02
Selection
Walk the yard by appointment or video-call our slab tech from the racks. We mark holds and build a layout when needed.
03
Hold
Place a 25 % or 50 % deposit. We photograph every held slab under raking light and send a complete file set within 48 hours.
Programs for Architects & Designers
Trade programs,
no fine print.
Same slab yard you walk today; the same pricing terms since 1997.
02
Reserve & Release
A 25 % deposit holds a slab for 30 days, 50 % for 90. Holds that drop out return to inventory — the yard stays clean and the next client sees accurate availability.
03
No Orphan Holds
Anything that has not moved in 60 days is put back on the floor. We will not be the warehouse where stones go to sleep.
04
Direct Yard Access
Designers walk the racks the same morning they call. Monday - Friday only 8 am until 430 but always check availability

From the Trade
The note we
hear most often.
“Royal Stone is the only yard in Los Angeles where the people who sell you the slab are the same people who picked it in Verona. That continuity is why we specify them, full stop.”
