When Texas Was Underwater – limestone is formed Calcium Carbonate.   Deposits on the bed of seas and lakes that have evaporated, and from the shells of animals. Limestone has always been popular in architecture because it is readily available, easy to cut into blocks, compliant to elaborate carving, long lasting, and stands up well to exposure.

Limestone is used for building stone. Continental Quarries is part of the Continental Cut Stone (CCS) Family of Businesses.  The 1st Lueders Limestone quarry was established in 1999 with a encore opening of our second Lueders quarry in 2017.  Fully equipped with our saws and choppers, we produce Landscape | Hardscape material, Exterior Wall Cladding and Slab material.  Cut to order, we have the ability to match your design intention with quality first.

Since its founding in 1987, CCS has been a nationwide producer of architectural cut limestone elements for high-end residential, commercial and restoration projects. Because of the growing demand for Lueders Limestone in quarry block, building stone, patio stone and landscaping materials to area businesses, in 1999 Continental Quarries was established to better meet this demand.
