Metamora Fields Country Club in Illinois



Metamora Fields is a beautiful golf course in Metamora, Illinois with rolling hills and valleys reminiscent of the Links golf courses of Scotland. Natural stone was used on the clubhouse exterior walls, foundation and fireplace. The Boston Blend Mosaic and Round Veneer was laid with wide joints and minimal trimming.





The entrance door is a beautiful dark wood surrounded by stone. A two-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace is the focal point of the interior restaurant and exterior patio seating area overlooking the beautiful greens. This stone was chosen because of its natural patina that has a unique historic feel.


Thank you to our local dealer Trinity Stone Center for working to provide the club with Stoneyard.com Boston Blend Mosaic and Round Veneer.

A New Twist on a Ledgestone Fireplace



Boston Blend has long been thought of as colonial or rustic. This Ledgestone Boston Blend fireplace is anything but. The modern clean lines are brought to the next level with a unique "twist". A blend of Greenwich Gray (25%) and Boston Blend (75%) Ledgestone Building Veneer was used to create the perfect mix of colors.






This tall fireplace goes from floor to ceiling. The top section was turned 45 degrees for added architectural interest. The outside columns and foundation are also faced in the same blend of Ledgestone.



The homeowners worked closely with the stone mason to choose the perfect blend of colors and shapes. The best way to decide on the correct blend of shapes, sizes, grout thickness, and stone color is to construct a mockup. Laying the stones out on a small area and adjusting the different variables is the best way to get that perfect blend.

Ledgestone Home Natural Exterior Stone Facade Focal Point


This Massachusetts home was faced using New England Fieldstone Boston Blend Ledgestone Veneer. The stone was laid to give the dry stacked stone appearance with no exposed motar. The beautiful mix of colors in the Boston Blend works well with the pale yellow color of the home. Corners were not used on this project because white trim enclosed the stone area. Trim, without the use of stone corners, is a cost effective construction option and it enhances the real stone veneer by drawing your eye to this well crafted focal point.

Wheaton College Selects Ledgestone Boston Blend Building Veneer for New Science Center


Local, natural stone stays in line with Wheaton's commitment to environmental sustainability.


A new science center is under construction at the Norton, MA school Wheaton College. What began in April 2010 is coming to an end and the final bells and whistles are being installed. This includes some amazing freestanding stonewalls that were made using the Boston Blend Ledgestone full thickness Building Veneer.

Approximately 2,000 square feet of stone was purchased and used throughout the landscape. This local stone was sorted and split right here in Littleton, MA. Why is this so important? It keeps in line with "green" building and enables the building to earn LEED certification credits.

This $42 Million dollar project is set for completion in Fall 2011. 

Check back soon to see pictures of the final project. Can’t wait and want to see the progress? Take a look at the construction web cam feed! It has pictures and a time-lapse video of the project.
