A: Hello this is valders stone from Wisconsin **Q: What color is this siding painted?** *(in Photo Questions)* I have a red brick home (mostly), with white siding AND trim. The upstairs has only siding, no brick, and the white windows just disappear. I would love a very light color like this against white trim. A: Hello, We did the landscaping at the house and brick walk way. I don't know the color of the home. **Q: Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* What type of material was used for the countertop? What color is it? A: The counter top is made of Valders stone. **Q: Yellow** *(in Photo Questions)* What's the name of the yellow ground cover? A: Sorry, his picture has Ranunculus Ficaria in it. Watch out it grows pretty fast and spreads quickly. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-14.*
