A quarried stone has rough surfaces, which are dressed to obtain a definite and regular shape.
Dressing of stones is done immediately after quarrying and before seasoning to achieve less
weight for transportation. Dressing of stone provides pleasing appearance, proper bedding with
good mortar joints, special shapes for arches, copings, pillars, etc. The various types of dressed
stones are shown in Fig. 3.8.
