Suttle Stone Quarries

A Dorset quarry business built on Purbeck limestone

Suttle Stone Quarries is a family-run operation based in the Isle of Purbeck, in Dorset. The company states that it has been quarrying high-quality Dorset limestone for more than fifty years, while the Suttle family's quarrying roots are described as going back almost a century. Its own history page traces the business to the 1930s.

Work is carried out from two active quarries on the Jurassic Coast: Swanworth Quarry at Worth Matravers and California Quarry in Swanage. From these sites the company produces dimension stone, crushed limestone aggregates and decorative materials. It presents itself as one of the region's leading Purbeck stone suppliers and reports that builders, architects and landscapers across the South of England use its stone.

Aggregates, stone and landscaping materials

The product range is organised around construction and garden work rather than finished masonry alone. Building aggregates sit alongside crushed limestone, cement, sand and soil, while the landscaping side covers boulders and feature stone, decorative chippings, mulch and bark, sleepers and walling stone. Natural stone is sold separately, and the catalogue also lists ammonites, flooring and paving, and a line called Jurassic Coasters.

Gabion supplies form a distinct group within the offer: gabion stone, gabion baskets and related gabion products. Loose materials appear as a further category in the product menu. The company invites customers who cannot find a particular product to call its team for help.

Depot near Tower Park in Poole

Beyond the two quarries, the business runs a Stone and Recycling Depot near Tower Park in Poole, Dorset, which it describes as a convenient place to source and collect aggregates and decorative materials. A separate Mannings Heath recycling depot in Poole is also named in the company's news section, where two job vacancies at that site were advertised.

Services around the stone itself

Alongside product supply, the company lists grab and muck away services, waste services, location hire and quarry tours. These sit under an "other services" heading in its navigation and extend the activity beyond straightforward material sales.

Projects on the Jurassic Coast

The company publishes case studies of work it has supplied or taken part in. These include a stone plinth for the Trevor Chadwick Memorial Statue in Swanage, stonework for the new Swanage Lifeboat Station delivered alongside BAM Nuttall and the RNLI, and stonework for the Seaside Garden at Flaghead Chine near Sandbanks, a public space overlooking the Purbeck coastline.

Customer feedback and company information

The site carries a selection of customer comments, most of them concerning telephone ordering, delivery timing and the placement of bulk bags. Several mention next-day or scheduled delivery, confirmation calls before arrival and drivers positioning loads where requested. Individual reviews of this kind describe specific orders and are not a measure of overall performance.

The company also maintains pages on careers, company policies, frequently asked questions and news, and refers to a set of accreditations without detailing them in the text available. It operates an online stone depot for ordering, with prices shown excluding or including VAT.
