Choosing Outdoor Stone? Read This First!

The Hidden Danger

Your local weather can completely destroy the wrong type of stone. Here is why climate matters most

The Cold Climate Rule

Constant freezing and thawing forces water into porous stones, causing them to crack and flake apart

Best for the Cold

Choose ultra-dense stones like Granite or Metamorphic Quartzite to resist frost damage.

The Scorching Sun Rule

Dark stones act like solar batteries, absorbing intense heat and burning bare feet.

Best for Hot Climates

Light-colored Travertine reflects solar heat and stays cool under the summer sun!
