- Consider brick over stone ? not only is it more affordable, it actually absorbs the sun?s rays without incurring as much damage as a natural stone.
- If you must, indeed, use natural stone, do so only if your home is a historic, or older, home. That will give the home its unique, antique look.
- After hours appointments can be made by phone.
- If you insist on going with a natural stone for your newer home, consider a mortared stone. This stone looks more weather-beaten, is less symmetrical, and creates a distinctive look.
- A dry stone wall is the most expensive option; however, if you place the stones properly, you won?t need mortar (so you can save a few bucks there).
- For a unique wall idea, try a gabion: this kind of retaining wall is created by putting a series of stones in a wire mesh box, which is then pilloried into a wall.?
- To that end, you can also create a mosaic wall from a mixture of tiles, stones, and terra cotta. This wall, however, will require a lot of skill, because you need to create a concrete retainer in order to hold it all into place.
- Create a screen wall made of concrete blocks if you have a low patio or a small garden ? you won?t sacrifice either form or function!
