Natural thin stone is real quarried stone, prepared for facing a wall. Our natural thin stone veneer work in Round Rock covers outside walls and accents. We help you pick the stone, the cut pattern, the corners and the joints, then plan the wall behind it. Thin veneer and full-depth stone need different support.
We work mostly in Round Rock. For a home in Hutto, Pflugerville, Georgetown or Cedar Park, include the property address and the stone you have in mind, and we'll tell you whether we can reach the walls.
The stone, its pattern and the corner pieces depend on each other, so we choose them as a set.
Limestone palettes and surface finishes
Limestone can give a front a pale, warm or gray look, and the pieces vary in a way a small photo can't show. Lueders limestone comes in several colors, and not every supplier stocks every one, so compare real samples. We hold the stone next to the brick, stucco and roof you are keeping, so you can judge the texture. We write down the stone and finish you approve, so nothing changes the look later.
Rectangular coursing and mixed-size layouts
Even courses look very different from a mix of heights and lengths. The choice changes how the joints line up around windows and how the pattern turns a corner. We lay out enough stones with the planned mortar for you to judge it; a bare stack tells you less. Small accent areas need extra care, because on a narrow wall an awkward cut or a repeated joint shows more.
Corner units, returns and full-depth transitions
Thin face pieces and matching corner pieces make the stone turn the corner as if it were solid. We count every outside corner, opening return and exposed end before we work out quantities. Where full-depth stone is staying, we plan how the new facing steps to it in thickness and pattern. Thin stone may not copy every structural detail of full-depth masonry, so we check the support and attachment for the wall it's going on.
What goes into the price
A stone allowance doesn't tell you what the whole job costs. The quote lists the stone, the number of corner pieces, the prep, the backing, the moisture details and the work around openings. Old finishes may have to come off, and we set out up front how we'll look at and price any hidden repairs. Once you approve a sample, we confirm the supplier has enough of it, with matching corners, before we order. On a front, look at the pattern across the openings and the long runs of wall. On columns, the corner pieces and how the pattern fits each narrow face matter most. We don't do interior rooms, paving or structural masonry.
