Our enormous selection can captureany look you desire, whether it’s a classic farmhouse in field stone or a chic ledgestone chalet. Our guide to colors and shapes begins on the next page, showcasingour entire collection.

3. Select a color palette – Warm browns, rich plums, crisp greys. With so many shadesavailable, you’ll be sure to find the one that reflects your personal style. Choosingthe right color requires lots of thought, so take your time, ask to see samples andpick the best hue to accent your lifestyle.

5. Dry stack vs. mortar – Our pure stone can be installed dry stack, which means thatthe blocks aren’t pointed with mortar or grout to fill in the gaps. The finishedappearance is simple and natural.
