4 Ways to Enhance Your Home’s Curb Appeal with Stone Accents

First impressions matter, and nothing elevates the curb appeal of your home quite like natural stone accents from Garrity Stone, Inc. in Indianapolis. Durable, timeless, and visually striking, natural stone can transform an ordinary exterior into an extraordinary one. Whether you’re planning to sell your home or simply want to make it the standout property in your neighborhood, here’s how natural stone accents can make a big impact.

1. Stone Entryways

The entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. Adding stone pillars, steps, or veneers around your front door creates a welcoming and sophisticated vibe. Consider pairing natural stone with wooden doors or wrought iron fixtures for a polished look.

2. Stone Driveways and Pathways

Replace a plain concrete driveway or pathway with flagstone or cobblestone for an instant upgrade. These materials not only add texture and character but also improve functionality by withstanding wear and tear from weather and vehicles.

3. Retaining Walls

Retaining walls aren’t just practical for controlling soil erosion; they’re also an excellent way to define spaces and add depth to your landscaping. A natural stone retaining wall can create a polished border around flower beds or serve as a standout feature in your front yard.

4. Stone Veneers for Your Home’s Exterior

Stone veneers offer the charm of full stone at a fraction of the cost. Whether applied to the lower half of your home’s facade or used as an accent around windows and doors, veneers can dramatically enhance your home’s exterior design.

Choosing the Right Stone

When selecting stone accents, it’s essential to match the style of your home. For a modern look, go with sleek, polished stones in neutral tones. For a more rustic or traditional feel, opt for rough-hewn stones with warm, earthy colors. If you aren't sure how to decide, bring us your project ideas, and we’ll find the right product for the job. We’ll even let you know if we think there’s a cheaper alternative. As specialists in natural stone, we don’t carry any manmade materials.
