Stone Cuts
Mosaic Pattern Veneer-Random Material
Traditionally used as decorative facing material, random mosaic pattern veneer is irregularly shaped, revealing the top face of the stone. It may be used in both interior and exterior applications. Random mosaic pattern results in unique character when applied to fireplaces, chimneys, exterior walls and retaining walls. This material may also be used as paving stone or flagstone for paths or walkways that receive heavy foot traffic or limited vehicular traffic. This product is not intended for load bearing use.
Roughly Squared/Roughly Rectangular
This stone type is cut to resemble squares and rectangles revealing the top face of the stone. Roughly squared/ Roughly rectangular cuts display a right angle style, but is not intentionally cut to achieve an exact 90 degree angle. The style has traditionally been used as decorative facing material achieving a timeless look for interior and exterior walls, chimneys, fireplaces and retaining walls. For landscaping applications, squares and rectangles may be used as paving stone or flagstone for heavy foot traffic paths or walkways. The product can withstand limited vehicular traffic and is not intended for load bearing use.
Ashlar Split Face Material
Ashlar split face material refers to the face and edging of the stone cut. The split face exposes colorful striations of the stone. The edging is naturally broken and is at right angles to the top and bottom of the surfaces. As with most of our product applications, this stone cut is traditionally used as decorative facing material for both internal and external walls. Ashlar split face compliments any fireplace, chimney or retaining wall project. It may also be used as paving stone or flagstone for paths or walkways that receive heavy foot traffic. The stone may withstand limited vehicular traffic and is not intended for load bearing use.
European Ashlar
European Ashlar differs from Ashlar split face material only in the size of the stone. European Ashlar is smaller in height (see stone specifications page for exact dimensions). The masonry style used for this stone is generally a tight joint resulting in a very textured, "European" appearance. This cut works especially well when blended with ashlar, squares and mixed with quoining (stones at the corner of a wall emphasized by size, projection, rustification, or different finish). European Ashlar may be used in the same applications as Ashlar split face and holds the same limitations.
Irregular Flagging Stone
This flagging stone is cut irregular in shape. Each piece may have many sides or even exhibit roughly squared corners. Flagging exposes the top or "natural" face of the stone. It is hand split into thin slabs making it ideal for patios, walkways, paths and around pool sides. This landscaping stone is not intended for heavy foot traffic or vehicular traffic.
Heavy Flagging Stone
Heavy Flagging Stone differs only in thickness from irregular flagging stone. This cut lends itself nicely to paving stone or flagstone for paths or walkways that receive heavy foot traffic. It can also withstand limited vehicular traffic, but is not intended for load bearing use.
Wall Stone
Our Wall Stone is blocky in nature and ideal for exterior freestanding or retaining walls. Wall Stone is available in any of our products. Typically, a user may choose one type of Wall Stone for a project or create a blend of stone products to achieve distinctive patterns or color schemes.
Uniform Rise Wall Stone
This user-friendly wall stone is a great match for the do-it-yourselfer. Uniform Rise wall stone is irregular in shape yet small and easy to handle. For exterior walls, this cut may be used on its own or blended with regular wall stone for a unique look.
Thin Wall Stone
As with all of our wall stones, Thin Wall Stone can be used alone or blended with other products. It lends itself to a variety of applications such as building raised flowerbeds and planters. When blending Thin Wall stone with other wall stones, users can create more intricate designs. Thin Wall stone can also add decorous texture to veneer applications.
Garden Bed Edging
A versatile landscape product, Garden Bed Edging may be used to border a driveway, lawn or garden beds for a well defined yet natural look. Think of using this product to encircle a favorite tree or assist in erosion prevention where heavy runoff may occur on your property.
Cottage Wall Stone
A wonderful addition to our landscaping stone products, Cottage Wall Stone is an economic choice for the do-it-yourselfer or experienced mason. This is currently available in South Bay Quartzite® and Corinthian Granite® with a palette that compliments any landscape. Cottage Wall Stone may be used in a variety of applications including rustic, stacked walls, formal freestanding exterior walls or flagging.
Step Slabs and Boulders
Step Slabs and Boulders bring a dramatic look to your landscaping. A simple stairway down a slope in your yard or an entire hill done in slabs and boulders enhance any property by outlining the contours of your property and showcasing stone's natural beauty. Both these products may be used to build ponds and waterfalls, complimenting any residential or commercial setting.
Thin Ledge Stone
Just introduced, this universal stone cut may be used in many applications. It is similar to our Thin Wall stone yet smaller in size. Thin Ledge Stone can create beautiful raised flowerbeds and planters and works well as a veneer. Consider blending Thin Ledge Stone to achieve a unique look for your project.
Rectilinear Faced Boulders
The roughly rectangular shape of our Rectilinear Boulders create elegant retaining walls for more structured landscape applications. Horizontal surfaces allow for easier stacking than with irregularly shaped boulder materials and random drill marks add unique character to the overall installation. Ideal for larger retaining projects requiring increased stability such as steep hillsides, sea (marine?) walls, walk-out basements or to maximize surface on sites with significant grade change.
