We are building our house in Southeast Texas. Our house is made of hardy and the lower portion is going to be stone. From the very beginning, our builder knew that we wanted a dry-stack ledgestone made of cultured stone. When they poured our slab, the gave us a 5 inch brick ledge.

Now we are told the cultured stone we want doesn't come in the thickness needed for the brick ledge. That we need to lay brick and then the cultured stone but we would have to add $4000 to our bid, or choose a real stone.

I don't mind having real stone, I've looked. I just can't find the color of stone that we want to go with. I'm looking for grey and brown tones. Everything I see in Texas is light shades of buff and creams.

Also, the stone is going to be used inside as well. Any Suggestions?
