Material, proportion, and detail all have to work together.

Good masonry does more than cover a wall or create a set of steps. It changes the character of the entire structure and gives the property a more permanent, established appearance.

Empire Hardscaping plans each feature around the architecture, surrounding landscape, elevations, intended use, and materials already present on the property.

Stone veneer gave this garage structure more depth, texture, and architectural weight. The finished surface now looks integrated with the home rather than added as a separate utilitarian structure.

Masonry is not limited to the exterior.

Natural-looking stone can give an interior wall, fireplace, bar, or entertainment space a focal point that feels substantial without looking manufactured or temporary.
