Thin natural stone applied to concrete or block walls for the look of stone with a strong structural core.
Natural stone veneer gives a concrete or block wall the look of a hand-built stone wall. The structure behind is strong and economical, and the stone face provides texture, color and character. Owners in Nashville choose veneer when they want a stone appearance on a tall, engineered or formed wall. It is common on walkout walls, entries and outdoor living spaces.
We start with a Free Estimate and review the wall, the stone options and the design. We prepare the surface, install lath and a scratch coat or use an approved adhesion system, set stone in a pattern that looks natural, tool or dry-stack joints and cap the wall. We plan weep screeds and drainage so water can escape behind the veneer, and we seal when appropriate. Samples help you see the color before work begins. Stone color and size make a big difference in how a veneer wall reads. Large, flat pieces give a modern, ledge look, and small, irregular pieces feel rustic. We lay out a sample panel when it helps, so you can judge color, joint width and pattern before we do the whole wall. We also pay attention to corners, where special corner stones make the wall look solid instead of like a thin skin over concrete.

Stone is mixed and fitted so the wall looks hand-built.
Drainage details protect the veneer from moisture trapped behind it.
