Beautify your Home with an Affordable Concrete Block Alternative

It’s finally time to tackle that home beautification project you’ve been thinking about for years; you’ve saved your money, now it’s time to pull the trigger. It may seem like it has taken way too long for you to finally be able to tackle this project, but in fact, it’s actually worked out better. The reason is that now more than ever, homeowners have unprecedented options when choosing the concrete block used to construct most beautification projects.

The reason is the amazing advancement in concrete pioneered by StoneMakers. They’ve come up with a proprietary ingredient that, when mixed with concrete, creates longer lasting patios, retaining walls, water features and several other types of home beautification projects that are far less time consuming than ever before.

Let’s take the example of a retaining wall, which is a popular project with a lot of homeowners. Normally, to build a 75-foot long by 4-foot tall retaining wall, it would take an average of three days. By using StoneMakers concrete, we’ve been able to shave that down, incredibly, to less than six hours. You do the math; the less time it takes to construct a project, the less it will cost to the homeowner.

And by using StoneMakers’ product, we can make a wall that mimics natural stone, but is exponentially stronger than either stone or stacked block. That not only enhances the beauty of your outside living area, but also leads to a significant reduction in the cost to maintain a home beautification project. And StoneMakers offers a much larger variety of colors than you’ll find in traditionally constructed block retaining walls, and blending them gives you an infinite number of looks to choose from.

As recently as two years ago, you basically had two choices if you wanted to make a wall look like natural stone – buy natural stone of use cultured stone as a type of veneer over a concrete wall. And it wouldn’t be monolithic, or look like one continuous piece. With the StoneMakers product, we can provide not only the monolithic look that is more aesthetically pleasing, we can do it at the fraction of the cost associated with natural stone.

And finally, because StoneMakers concrete does not need wooden forms, there is no waste. Even a small retaining wall requires hundreds of pounds of wood which eventually is thrown away. So StoneMakers concrete is not only more affordable and more durable than traditional concrete, it’s also much friendlier to the environment.

You may have had to wait a long time to get the project of your dreams started, but in the long run you’ll be ahead of the game thanks to the innovation of StoneMakers concrete.
