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.

Bluestone

10 years ago
Does the bluestone hold up well in cold climates? Is this bluestone dry laid and if so did you use poly sand between stones?

    Hi Melanie, thanks for your questions. This project is in Wisconsin and we have not seen any issues with bluestone and our climate. It is dry laid and the contractor did in fact use poly sand in the joints.
