Driveway

Could you tell me the dimensions of the front yard and driveway? It looks like a great use of space.

The overall lot is 66' wide by 150" deep. The front yard is roughly 25' deep.

You can see a survey plat here: http://www.verandafinehomes.com/amherst-floorplan/

If I remember right, the driveway was 10' wide.

Thanks for your compliments. We love the way this home turned out as well!

This house is amazing. I am currently building a stucco home and want cast stone window surrounds. Everyone around my area says because of the weight of the cast stone it can not be done with stucco/dryvit . Do you have any idea how they tied the surround in ?? Thanks!

Our stucco applications are a true masonry product. They are a 3 coat application. When it comes to securing the cast stone there are a few difference applications and it seams every cast stone contractor has their own opinion on which technique is best. However, it seems to come down to three basic approaches 1) Slot cuts 2) Dowel Pins or Screws or 3) In Beds or Threaded Inserts.

I did a quick BLOG with more detail here: http://www.verandafinehomes.com/2014/02/securing-cast-stone/
