Go Beyond Oklahoma Building Stone

A home constructed with Oklahoma building stone already has an advantage regarding resale value, so why not keep that leverage outdoors?

 

 

1.     Patio

Creating or updating a patio is an excellent way to enhance the look, feel, and curb appeal of your home. A calming and functional space for entertaining and enjoying time in nature is always a draw. Stone pavers are versatile and easy to install near the house or as a separate sitting area. One of the best things about patios is that you can customize every detail, making it as simple or ornate as you want.

Along with pavers, you can enhance the area with decorative rock and stone OKC to provide a natural, organic flare. Other ways to create the perfect patio include potted plants, landscaping, pergolas, all-weather furnishings, and fireplaces.

 

 

2.         Fireplaces

Outdoor fireplaces give you the opportunity to enjoy your yard when the temperature begins to drop. Some fireplaces are constructed with Oklahoma building stone, while others use natural thin veneer. It all depends on what you want for your home. Fireplaces can be simple or custom-designed with various patterns and colors to create something unique.

Additionally, you can add seating and storage to your fireplace installation if you want to maintain a coherent look. By making everything stone, you can rest assured that it will all weather well and evenly.

 

 

3.         Pool Coping Oklahoma

Pools often accompany patios, and a well-designed pool is ideal for exercise and spending time with friends and family. It can be an instant draw for anyone who loves water and spending time outdoors. Installing a swimming pool is an investment; the best results come from using quality materials. Stone pool coping Oklahoma is the best way to ensure that your pool looks fantastic and stands the test of time. As a natural material, the stone will

 

blend well with the surrounding landscape while handling the ever-changing weather that comes with living in Oklahoma.

 

 

4.           Walkways

Stone walkways blend form and function together. Not only do they look appealing, but they also provide a certain level of safety. When done well, a path or walkway will provide a more even walking surface, making it easier for people to wander without falling. Additionally, the porosity of stone gives it a slightly slip-resistant quality even when it is wet.

Walkways often tie everything together throughout the yard. You can lay irregular stones in neutral colors if you prefer a charming, rustic space. A contemporary look can be achieved with straight, flat pavers or herringbone patterns.

 

 

5.         Cladding

Cladding is an excellent way to replace worn, dated exteriors such as siding or mailboxes. This task is the perfect job for natural stone veneer, which will easily cover a variety of surfaces. The product has all the benefits of building stone without excess weight, making it perfect for touching up unsightly surfaces. Adding cladding to your home will transform its appearance and substantially enhance your curb appeal.
