This dream home’s architecture and landscape design features a modern rustic mix of matching natural stone cut for the full veneer or thin stone cladding of the pillars and house’s natural stone facade with front yard retaining wall stone and outcropping stone steps for a pathway to navigate the hill leading to a gorgeous front porch entrance. The majority of the Buechel Stone product showcased is Fond du Lac Weatheredge Wall Stone for the dry stacked stone retaining wall, with Fond du Lac Weatheredge Outcropping Steps and Fond du Lac Flagstone perfectly matched pathways up the hill and at the base of the elevation. A traditional mortared stone masonry version of Fond du Lac Rustic stone veneer serves as a nice example of building with stone complementary to a contemporary craftsman / chic farmhouse cottage mix of white trim and pillars with exposed beams in support of large windows surrounded by neutral tan shakes with a second story modern metal deck railing to complete the look. Sophisticated natural stone color arctic tones of Fond du Lac Cut Stone invite visitors to sit on a custom bench, and the front porch pillar caps and Architectural Stone Cut details tie it all together.

The Fond du Lac Rustic stone veneer features on the stone home facade brings the honey tones of Fond du Lac stone to our Ashlar Line of Building Stone Veneers, in a perfect match using the same natural stone material to the landscaping. Ashlar describes the finest masonry units of dressed and cut stones that are worked until squared. Capable of thin joints between stones, the linear appearance of an ashlar pattern stone installation results in the most traditional natural stone masonry application. A finished dry stacked stone or mortared stone masonry grout installation in the Ashlar stone veneer pattern of stone installation is sometimes referred to as a 2:1 pattern. Pieces range in heights from 1/2″ to 8″, with lengths from 6″ up to 42″ for full veneer and 6″ up to 24″ for thin veneer stone. Browns, buffs, tans, and golds add depth to its robust color range.
