- Materials: Typically crafted from a variety of natural stones, including but not limited to granite, limestone, sandstone, and slate. The veneer is usually sourced from quarried stone and cut to specific thicknesses.
- Construction: The veneer pieces are cut to uniform or varied sizes and shapes to create a naturalistic stone facade. They can be applied to various substrates using specialized mortar and installation techniques.
Building Stone
- Description: Full-thickness natural stone used for structural and aesthetic applications in building construction. This includes both load-bearing and decorative elements.
- Materials: Available in a wide array of natural stone types, mirroring the selections for veneer but provided in full block or cut dimensions. Common materials include fieldstone, quarried stone blocks, and dimensional cut stone.
- Construction: Building stone is laid in traditional masonry patterns using mortar to bond individual stones together. The construction methods can vary depending on the type of stone and the desired architectural style, ranging from rustic fieldstone walls to precisely cut ashlar patterns.
Aggregates
- Description: Crushed or naturally occurring granular materials used in construction and landscaping.
- Materials: Includes various types of stone that are crushed into different sizes, such as gravel, crushed stone, and sand. These materials are often derived from larger quarried stone products.

Patio Stones
- Description: Natural stone pieces specifically chosen and shaped for creating durable and attractive outdoor living spaces, such as patios, walkways, and garden paths.
- Materials: Commonly made from flagstone, slate, sandstone, and granite, selected for their flatness, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Water Garden Rocks
- Description: Natural stones selected for their suitability and aesthetic contribution to water features, ponds, streams, and waterfalls.
- Materials: Often includes a selection of river rocks, boulders, and natural stones that are durable in water and do not leach harmful substances. Materials like granite, slate, and various sedimentary rocks are common.
