It’s no surprise to those that know us that we have a love of natural stone. We have handled enough of it to know the difference between stone and concrete. But with today’s technology it’s getting harder and harder to tell. At Rye Beach Landscaping, we can offer our customers a hardscaping product that can replicate the look and feel of natural stone so well that it has almost fooled even us!
Stone Makers is a proprietary architectural concrete mix designed specifically for retaining walls and structural applications. Once cured, a Stone Makers retaining wall has a compressive strength exceeding 10,000 psi.
The greatest advantage of a Stone Makers product is the affordability. We can install a decorative concrete retaining wall with a natural stone look for half the price of building it stone by stone. The construction process for a Stone Makers wall takes only days, not weeks, and we are able to pass those savings onto you.
Aside from the cost advantage, the creative possibilities with the Stone Makers product are endless. Being trained as a Stone Makers dealer in New Hampshire over several years has given us the opportunity to create boulders, logs, water features in virtually any texture, color, and shape needed. We can match a pathway to the wall product perfectly. Out of the same mold we can shape rugged brown fieldstone wall and finish it with a light grey granite cap that looks totally realistic.
And it’s not just for landscaping. Do you have an ugly foundation exposed? We can finish it off with a natural stone veneer look. Selling your house? Precast concrete steps detract from to curb appeal, but you don’t want to invest in new granite steps. Why not hire Rye Beach Landscaping to cover those steps with a stamped color concrete pattern to make them more attractive? There are so many vertical applications for our Stone Makers product – finishing interior basement walls, fireplaces, and even create patio seating, outdoor kitchens or bars – to name just a few.
Although we are not technically concrete contractors, we have received extensive training in New Hampshire for this specific product. There are not many of our competitors in the landscaping or stone masonry trades that can offer this option for their customers.
