Home Exterior Ideas With Limestone

Limestone Patio

• Patios provide a relaxing outdoor space to read a book or have a barbeque with family and friends. Limestone can be used to create the patio floor. Ask for limestone with fines; fines are ground up limestone that will help hold the bigger limestone pieces in place.

Limestone Walkway

• Large limestone pieces make great foundations for outdoor walkways to the garden or a curb appeal walkway to the entrance of your home. Limestone can be used alone to create a walkway or can also be mixed with other stones and bricks.

Limestone Outdoor Fireplace

• Fireplaces are not only meant to be enjoyed indoors; they can also be enjoyed in the fresh outdoor air. Limestone is a great option for homeowners interested in designing an outdoor fireplace. The natural shade of limestone will give the fireplace a vintage look. Brick, wood and other stones are other elements that can be incorporated with limestone when designing an outdoor fireplace.

Retaining Walls

• Limestone is sturdy and makes for a great retaining wall. Limestone retaining walls are less maintenance than other materials and provide more privacy than a picket fence. Limestone is also sturdy enough to help sculpt your yard's design.

Limestone Seating

• Limestone can be molded into outdoor patio benches and chairs. Stone seating brings an organic, natural feeling to a patio or Zen space to your backyard. If sitting on limestone is too uncomfortable, pick up some neutral tone cushions to place on top of the limestone seating areas.
