This do-it-yourself (DIY) guide was created to help educate and assist. We realize that some DIY projects are easier than others…but having a little help can make a big difference.

On the first page, there is one estimating guide for Bluestone and another for Stone, Belgium Block and Brick. These guides can be helpful to determine the quantities of materials you may need for your project and also provides different pattern options.

The second page contains a comprehensive glossary of masonry terms. This is merely a tool for acquainting you with the terminology used in the field. If your contractor often references veneer stone and you are not familiar with that term, look it up…that is the purpose of this glossary!

Lastly, the examples page demonstrates the main options available within four different categories; paver patterns, stone veneer, flagstone, and stone edges & surfaces. Often, you may know what you like when you see it…but don’t know exactly how to describe it. Hopefully, this examples guide will be of assistance.

Please keep in mind that all of the informational tools we have provided are meant to serve as reference guides only. Do not assume that these figures will be applicable to every project. It is important to discuss any project with either your contractor or a Braen Supply, Inc. sales associate.
