2013 Year in Review

   Goals achieved, opportunities seized, moments captured.  These are ways to measure the year of 2013.  At Fieldstone Center we look back on the relationships earned.  As a consumer you have a choice every day on where to shop for groceries, where to buy your clothes etc.  It is our job as a supplier to convince you when you are in need of a patio, a fireplace, a new porch terrace, or a new driveway; to work with us.  Unfortunately our job does not stop there.  We rely most importantly on the contractors, builders and architects to help bring these projects to fruition.  I have included pictures below and in my blog that show off some of the projects of 2013 that we have contributed to.  I realized in scrolling through the pictures that the professionals that we work with on a daily basis are extremely gifted.  You can dream up anything in your head and we can try and match that image with the correct product.  However, to make this dream a reality it is the extreme talent and tireless effort put forth by the installers that make these moments happen.  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to earn your business.  Building relationships will always be our number one goal.

Chateau Limestone

The Chateau Limestone material comes in a pre-packaged 6 piece Ashlar Pattern.  Pictured above the limestone material fits tightly together and is easy to lay over a concrete slab or sand base.   

The Chateau Limestone product has a natural weathered face which gives the stone a rustic or worn European feel.

The Chateau Limestone was used on a house in Daniel Island built by Structures Building Group.  The homeowners fell in love with the distinct blue hues of the stone.  They liked the look of a traditional Pennsylvania Bluestone but wanted a more consistent color.  

Erin Masonry installed the product over a concrete slab and cut the edge of the patio to give it a rounded shape.  

Once the area was cleaned up and landscaped you can see how well this Limestone contrast with the house and landscape colors. 

The rounded shape of the patio help break up the symmetry of the house. 

One of the wonderful features of Daniel Island are the picturesque views of the sunrise over the golf course.  

The Chateau Limestone was also used on the entry walk and front steps.

The homeowners chose to use the same 6pc ashlar pattern on the walkway. 

The steps were all custom fabricated to have offsetting joints and finished rock-faced ends.  

Chateau Limestone is becoming one of our most popular stones for is consistency in color and natural feel.

A Rainbow of Colors

The pool addition at this marsh front home took color to a whole new level.  The homeowner selected over Rainbow Sandstone product to use around the pool and terrace area.  

The pool was surrounded with a raised seat wall with columns on either side. The stone on the veneer walls was our Broken Face Fieldstone Natural Thin Veneer. They used the rainbow sandstone to cap the walls.  

Beautiful pots were used as accent colors in the space. 

One of my favorite selections on the project was the seamless coping material with the rockfaced edge.  Using a rockfaced edge on the inside of the pool can sometimes being an intimidating decision but the look is completely transformed.  This pool would look very different with a bullnosed coping. 

The Rainbow Sandstone has a very exciting wood grain feel to it. 

The owners also incorporated the Sandstone treads on the staircase to match the pool coping.   One of the interesting decisions I noticed on the project was adding a burgandy clay brick to the stone veneer to tie together the paving material with the veneer stone. 

Here you can see a full view of the marsh and seat wall surrounding the pool area.  What a peaceful and relaxing space.  

The installers on the project was Pleasant Landscapes. They worked very diligently to custom fabricate  these Rainbow Sandstone pier caps at of raw stone slabs. 

Next to the pool is a comfy seating area with outdoor fireplace.  Come fall this is where you would find me if it were my home.  

The homeowners added a beautiful couch and Charleston bed swing in the fireplace area.  

To tie everything together the same veneer stone was used on the rear of the outdoor fireplace.
