Naturally Affordable

Today's guest blog is provided by Todd Harris, masonry specialist at Hedberg's Plymouth Masonry showroom.

Stone is a great material to use both on the exterior of your home and the interior. And we're not talking about just the fireplace. There are many stone products that you can use to enhance any room in the house. Stone is a versatile material that can be used on accent walls, backsplashes, wine cellars, columns, flooring, bathroom walls and more. You don't have to spend a lot of money to bring the elegance of stone into your home. It's virtually maintenance free and will look great forever. Talk about sustainable!


So what are your material options? Natural stone or manufactured product. Manufactured (a.k.a. "Cultured") stone is cheaper, right?

Not anymore! Naturally Affordable(TM) stone from Hedberg is real stone that's as economical as the manufactured kind. And it has the very look that manufactured stone aspires to.



Many of the masons we work with prefer working with natural stone because it's genuine stone through and through. Chipping, cutting and breaking doesn't impair the appearance of the natural stone as it would manufactured products. Manufactured products are made of lightweight cement and their surface coloration doesn't carry through the entire block. Natural stone gives designers and installers more flexibility and options.

Hedberg offers a broad selection of stone in its Naturally Affordable line. Over a dozen thin veneer choices and many times that in custom blends give you color, shape and style options to fit any application.


Come visit our showroom at 975 Nathan Lane in Plymouth and see hundreds of examples of stone installations. See how we can naturally enhance your home and increase its value with Affordable Stone. Call me with questions at 612-366-6272.
