For a driveway (sidewalk) or a flat surface like a patio, you can use randomly shaped stones or sawn stones depending on whether you want to give your project a natural look or a more contemporary feel. Different types of finishes are available, such as flamed, natural, bush hammered, sand blast, antique or even ground.
Whether you are doing your work yourself or using the services of a professional, the choice of stone remains an important step in the completion of a project. Choosing a quality stone will guarantee you an achievement that will age beautifully.
CHOICE OF STONE
There are different aspects to consider in purchasing the stone, the first being the color. You must choose the one that will best match your environment by considering the colors of the house and that of the ornaments (shutters and window frames, among others). Then comes the choice of format and finish.
FORMATS
RANDOM
The random stone can give different effects depending on the work done. Thus, depending on the width of the joints and the product chosen to cover the joints, two projects made from the same type of stone can have two completely different looks.
Come visit us! You will be able to discover the wide variety of colors and textures available to you.
SAWN STONE
What you should know about these stones is that the price is higher. On the other hand, the work is less. Square or rectangular in shape, stones come in sizes that generally form a pattern. They are therefore more easily installed.
FINISHED
NATURAL
The natural finish shows the stone in its best light.
MECHANICALLY WORKED
The other types of finishes (flamed, bush hammered, sandblasted, ground, acid washed) are used to provide a calibrated thickness; all stones are then of the same thickness, which facilitates installation. These types of finishes are the best option for stones that do not offer a natural finish.
STONE THICKNESS
The thickness of the stone is determined based on the foundation. The more stable and well compacted the soil preparation, the thinner the stone can be, up to a maximum of 1 "to 1 ½". If the soil is loose or if it has been recently worked (less than 2 years), then a thicker stone will be chosen. Our stones are rigorously classified in order of thickness to facilitate subsequent installation.
Once the choice is made and we know the area to cover, we are able to assess the quantities and estimate the budget needed to complete your project. Come meet our experts on site!
