Natural stone is a timeless and versatile choice that offers many varieties, making it an excellent option for various landscaping elements. Whether you're working on retaining walls, pool patios, walkways, or any other outdoor feature, natural stone brings a unique and appealing character to your landscape.
Here are some examples of natural stones and their uses:
Cultured or manufactured stone is a synthetic material made from concrete and specially colored pigments. It offers a unique advantage in design versatility for all masonry projects. These stones are designed to mimic the texture and appearance of natural stone. They are cast into various molds to achieve the desired texture and style.
The advantages of cultured stone include its lighter weight, which makes it ideal for vertical surfaces such as walls, fire pits, and chimneys. It offers the opportunity to explore a wide range of design possibilities while also providing a cost-effective alternative to natural stone.
Ultimately, the choice between natural stone and cultured stone depends on your project's specific requirements and your aesthetic preferences. Our team at Island Associates is dedicated to working closely with you, understanding your needs, and helping you make the right choice to achieve the desired outcome for your outdoor space.
