If you visit any mason or landscape supply yard you're almost guaranteed to find Pennsylvania Fieldstone available for sale. Often palletized and called "wall stone", it is native to Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region. PA Fieldstone is most commonly used for landscape projects but we continue to see it grow in popularity as a stone veneer, we call it Fieldstone Dark.

The debate between manufactured stone veneer and real stone veneer is one that likely won't go away any time soon. It's something we encounter almost every day and work with our customers to guide them through the process. Although we always prefer the real stone to the imitation product, we understand there is a time and place when manufactured stone may be a better option for a project than using real stone veneer. 

The great writer Edna Ferber was once quoted as saying:

"We no longer build fireplaces for physical warmth, we build them for the warmth of the soul; we build them to dream by, to hope by, to home by".

We love seeing some of the stone fireplace designs created and executed by our customers and we hope a few of these help inspire you for your next fireplace design.
