Natural Beauty with Natural Stone
Natural Stone falls under four basic categories that can be used in a variety of ways.
Fieldstone can be used to veneer or stack a wall, with various sizes and thicknesses that can be sorted out for different methods of installation.
Flagstone can be used to veneer a wall or floor, either using irregular pieces or pieces broken into squares and rectangles. This stone can also be used to stack a wall.
River Stone can be used as accent stones, groundcovers, pathways, creek beds or mortared into a wall for accent. River rock and gravels have seen an increase in popularity due to their various uses, colors and sizes.
Boulders are most commonly used as an accent stone in a landscape design, especially in and around water features and ponds. They can also be creatively stacked upon each other to make a rough wall or border to highlight flowerbeds.
Creating your perfect area with natural stone.

Veneering is a method of covering a wall with stone. This is not for structural purposes but for aesthetics. Veneering shows stone in its natural appearance with weathered edges and faces, irregular shapes and sizes, and broken or chipped edges.
Flooring is a method used for any kind of flat work such as patios, walkways or pathways. Flagstone is often used for flooring.
