Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t just jump on the first “natural stone for sale.” Natural stone is a great choice for anyone who wants a beautiful, durable, and low-maintenance material to showcase as a focal point in their landscape. It will last forever — but it’s not for everybody. When it comes to natural landscaping stones, projects may actually do better when the stone is “cultured,” or manufactured.
The choice between natural and manufactured stone depends on the specific needs and vision of your project. But the choice between natural and manufactured stone depends on factors like design, strength, permeance, aesthetics, long-term value, budget, and, of course, personal preference.
While manufactured stone is often lighter than natural and allows for more design flexibility, it can fade over time and requires more delicate care. Natural stone, unless otherwise altered, will always look the same and maintain permanent qualities. Because every stone is unique, you’ll never have to worry about finding the same “pattern” once manufacturing of this pattern has stopped and you need a replacement.
We carry both.
