Stone Corners

The picture shows a 90 degree turn with stone running into brick. The stone is a very nice looking earth tone color and contrast with the earth tone tumbled brick, this is a very nice combination. If you notice the larger flat stones mixed in with the ledge stone, these are called spotters. The window has a nice trim stone arch, this will help to showcase the window. The application of the stones are good and level. This is critical for ledge stone use. If the stones follow the slightest wave, it kills the whole look. The only thing I would change on this job is to run the stone around the corner about 16 inches. This will give the full stone effect instead of giving the appearance of a veneer. Also, the down spout should be relocated.
Over all the color combination of the stone with spotters and the brick and the mortar color, this is a stop and view home. Made me stop.
