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.

    Happy to share. The wall stone is called "moss rock" and the cap is bluestone. The moss rock is dried laid and doesn't need a footer.

    Thank you so much for the prompt response. I am located in Cleveland as well. Where can we purchase this exact stone? And who is the specific manufacturer? I assume moss rock is the style name. Thanks for all your help!

    I drilled down for more information for you. It's "thin select quarry stone" purchased at Van Ness in Newbury.
