Bluestone
Quarried in the northeast U.S., this sandstone is known for its quality, unique finishes and lovely color variations, making it an ideal architectural building material. One of the most durable natural stones, bluestone will withstand any climate even the harsh New England winter and freeze/thaw climate. Fortunately for us, this stone is found right in our back yard, giving us access to an abundant supply of the best material we could ask for. Refined enough for elegant indoor use (think flooring, countertops and fireplaces), yet durable enough for the wear and tear of exterior landscaping, bluestone is our tried and true prize building material. For you, choosing this stone is a wonderful way to connect your living space to your natural environment.
