Choosing the Right Stone

Once you find a vendor who sells high-quality building stones, it comes down to finding the right product for your project.

For example, the house above is a traditional home built with Chocolate Leuders and Regular Leuders. In this case, the stone carries through to the short wall surrounding the front patio. The cut and texture of the stone create an irregular pattern, giving the country-French style a charming feel.
Many Leuders limestones can also look attractive in more modern designs such as this Contemporary Cream Leuders build. While you still see some lovely texture from the stones, the cut and installation are more uniform. Using this cut and installation fits beautifully with the modern look of the house.
