Beautiful stone.

12 years ago

Do you know the name of this stone? I am looking for just this look and have not had much luck.
Is this stone available to purchase still and if so, where?
Thank you. Lovely job, by-the-way.

This was a restoration project with little stone work required. The stone is a Mica Schist (locally also called Wissahickon Schist). While it is available, it is difficult to source. You could try contacting eastern Pennsylvania quarries. Good luck and thank you for the compliments!

Beautiful work! I live in the area and was wondering if you could share who did the landscaping, which is very nice. Thanks!
