My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    This is bluestone. I would also recommend installing bluestone treads on the stairs that connect to the patio. Rock faced edges on the stair treads and wall caps also look great.

      I think it's called Blue stone. It looks different depending on where it is quarried but that is maybe Connecticut blue stone.

      This outdoor space was designed by Advanced Renovations in Charlotte, NC. That stone color really makes the outside pop with color. I would contact them directly to see if they can answer the color question. They should be able to help.

      Is the bluestone cleft (rough) or thermal (smooth)?
