Installation

When we package our product for shipping the stone has already been blended for installation. This will allow the installer to install the stone without worrying about the color of the stone they pick up. Just start into a pallet of stone and let the natural blend develop its own pattern, we make it easy. We also ship our stone to your exact square foot requirements. No boxes and no need to order different types of stone to get a nice blend of color, it's already done for you.
