The Stone Store strives to provide the best selection of building products, outdoor merchandise and landscaping materials by quality manufacturers that you can trust. This fall we want to help you build an outdoor living space that you and your family can enjoy! We want you to enjoy the outdoors with your family and friends with the help of an outdoor kitchen and living room. We offer a wide selection of wonderful pieces that provide warmth and help in creating a more comfortable, social atmosphere for this tailgating season. When designing these outdoor spaces, it’s never a bad idea to consider Belgard Stone products to accent and create the structural components of your outdoor living space.
Stone has been used to create walkways for hundreds of years, and it looks fantastic as a landscaping option for historic and traditional homes because of its classic, inviting look. Belgard stone offers flexibility in design as it can be laid in a variety of patterns and may be set with sand, relatively easy for a homeowner to do, or mortar and grout, which should be done by a professional. Stone has an incredible amount of flexibility in accentuating many different styles of homes and gardens.
Concrete pavers are a fantastic alternative to natural stone. Belgard concrete pavers are designed to offer the classic appearance of brick or stone combined with the strength, durability and traction of concrete. Belgard pavers come in a variety of styles to complement any home or garden style, including contemporary modular pavers, traditional cobble and brick pavers and options with the look and texture of natural stone patio pavers. For the winter months, Belgard Mirage® Porcelain Pavers are perfect at combining incredible beauty with durability, strength, and affordability. They require little to no maintenance, and they won’t discolor or grow moss or mold. They are also frost free and impervious to thermal shock.
Having a stylish outdoor kitchen will allow you to entertain your family and friends with all the conveniences of an indoor kitchen in an outdoor setting.
