I'm back. It has been a while since my last post, my computer crashed, my camera broke, you name it. What you see pictured here is man made stone with natural stone treads. NEVER EVER use man made product for foot traffic. As time passes the wear on the product removes the color agents on the surface. Then all you have left is exposed aggregates. Now there are some man made products that can with stand wear. Make sure you ask if foot traffic is recommended for the use of the product you putting down. In the picture you see man made stone on the "vertical" surface and natural stone on the "horizontal" surface. These are considered two worlds, the vertical world which are products that go on wall, the horizontal world which are pavers, flag stone and is sometimes called "hardscapes". Other areas to consider for this train of thought would be hearths for fireplaces, hips on exterior chimneys, and tops of columns or mailboxes.
