Stone masonry on the exterior of a home creates a classic aesthetic, but implementing it the old fashioned way can be incredibly time consuming. Fortunately, options like natural masonry veneers and stucco are easy to apply while still giving your home that timeless look.

Advantages of Natural Stone Veneers

Most of the concerns with veneers center around the lack of authenticity and durability the unnatural materials provide. With natural stone veneers you don’t need to worry about a cheap look or constant repair, because the stone comes straight from the quarry. Natural veneers are also very versatile in that they can be made from almost any type of stone in any size, allowing you to find exactly what you need for your space.

Stucco is understated and easily applied

Stucco, a material made of sand, lime, water and cement, is also a great option if you’re looking to add some style to a surface. Applying a layer of stucco is a simple process that can give a surface an earthy yet refined texture and look. Like stone, stucco is very durable, needs little maintenance, and can be utilized in a number of ways outside your home.
