The first is to pay attention to the materials used for stone mountain carving. In general, there are two types of stone carving samples: smooth surface and machine-cut surface. These two different surface treatments often have obvious color differences. The finished stone sculpture are generally machine-cut or lychee-faced, and smooth surfaces are rare.

Therefore, when the manufacturer quotes, you can ask for the corresponding process reference diagram. Since it is a custom-made stone carving, it is not realistic to ask the manufacturer to provide exactly the same ones, just ask for similar ones. Of course, sometimes consumers like the stone carving craftsmanship provided by the factory, but they can't pay the equivalent price, so the quality of the craftsmanship must be greatly reduced.

Custom stone mountain carving are generally arranged according to the factory's order. If the time is agreed in advance, the factory can proceed as planned. But if the time is not clear, it may be delayed.
