Stone Veneer Installation in Southlake

Stone veneer for Southlake facades, columns, chimneys, and outdoor surrounds. Natural or manufactured, set with proper drainage.

Stone veneer puts a natural-stone face on a wall, a column, a chimney, or an outdoor kitchen surround without the cost of full solid masonry. We install stone veneer on facades, columns, chimneys, and fireplace and kitchen surrounds, natural or manufactured, set so it reads as solid stone. On the estate homes here, veneer is how a facade or an outdoor feature gets the weight of real stone.

The first choice is natural or manufactured stone. Natural stone veneer is cut from real stone and has the depth and color range to match an existing masonry home. Manufactured stone is cast and lighter, a good route on a budget or where weight is a concern. We bring both to the property and set them against what you already have so the match is made in daylight.

Veneer fails when it is treated like paint. Behind a proper install is a drainage plane, a weather barrier, and weep screeds at the base so any water that gets behind the stone drains out instead of sitting in the wall. We set veneer either mortar-set with raked or grouted joints or dry-stacked with no visible mortar, depending on the look you want. The moisture detailing is the same either way, and it is the part that decides whether it lasts.

On a large Southlake property, veneer ties the outdoor program together, the same stone on the outdoor fireplace, the kitchen, and the columns as on the house. We match new veneer to existing masonry where there is any to match. See the full range of stonework or our Southlake services. Fill out the form for a free on-site estimate.

Yes. A proper install has a drainage plane, a weather barrier, and weep screeds at the base so water that gets behind the stone drains out. Skipping that detailing is the main reason veneer fails.

Both are options. Mortar-set has raked or grouted joints, dry-stack shows no visible mortar for a tighter look. The moisture detailing behind the stone is the same either way, so the choice is about appearance.
