Whiz-Q Stone: Our Company

Over 40 years ago our founder, Jim Whisenand had a 'rock solid' dream of supplying the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex with the highest quality stone and landscape materials.

Who We Are Today

Whiz-Q Stone is one of the largest natural stone and landscape supply yards in North Texas, proudly serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond. Located on a 22-acre site in Fort Worth, we offer an unmatched selection of natural stone, pavers, gravel, soils, mulches, and landscape accessories. Our team is passionate about helping both homeowners and professionals bring their outdoor visions to life — whether it's a weekend DIY project, a large-scale commercial build, or anything in between.

We work hand-in-hand with landscape contractors, masons, builders, and designers, while also providing guidance and materials directly to homeowners who want quality products and trusted advice. At Whiz-Q, we’re more than a stone yard — we’re a family-run business built on expertise, service, and a commitment to making every project a success.

Our Values

At Whiz-Q Stone, our values are rooted in quality, service, and family. As one of the largest stone yards in Texas, we proudly supply homeowners, contractors, and designers with premium natural stone, hardscape, landscape, waterscape, and outdoor living materials.

Though founder Jim Whisenand is now retired, the Whisenand family continues to lead the company with the same hands-on dedication and commitment to excellence. For over 40 years, we’ve remained focused on delivering trusted service and reliable products — a tradition that has made Whiz-Q Stone a top choice throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond.

What's in the Name?

We’ve heard just about every version of our name — from “Whiskey Stone” to “Whiz-O Stone” to simply “Whiz Stone.” But the name is Whiz-Q Stone, and it’s been that way since 1983.

Our founder, Jim Whisenand, began by quarrying sandstone in West Texas, supplying stone to homebuilders and commercial projects across North Texas. When it came time to name the company, he wanted something personal. Jim was known by the nickname “Whiz” in high school — whether for his quick wit or the speed of his hot rods is still up for debate. He paired that with a “Q” for quarried stone and finished it off with “Stone” to represent what we do. And just like that, Whiz-Q Stone was born.

The name was shorter, easier to remember than “Whisenand’s Quarried Stone,” and carried a story that reflected both personality and purpose. It stuck — and so did the values that inspired it. Even though the quarrying days are behind us, our name remains a proud reminder of where we started and how far we’ve come.

Today, Whiz-Q Stone has grown into one of the largest stone yards in Texas, offering a wide range of hardscape, landscape, and outdoor living materials. And while our product selection and footprint have expanded, our commitment to quality stone and exceptional service is still at the core of everything we do.
