Thin Stone Veneer in Llano County, TX
Llano County sits on the Llano Uplift, one of the oldest exposed geological formations in North America. The granite and gneiss rock that defines this landscape inspires homeowners to incorporate natural stone into their properties. Thin stone veneer makes that possible without the cost and complexity of traditional stone masonry.
Stone Veneer Rooted in Llano County's Geology
The town of Llano has been called the "Deer Capital of Texas," but it could just as easily claim the title for stone. Pink granite from this region built the Texas State Capitol, and the exposed rock formations along the Llano River remind residents daily of the incredible geology beneath their feet. Thin stone veneer lets homeowners echo that geological character on their own walls.
From lakefront retreats near Kingsland and Buchanan Dam to ranch homes along Highway 29, we install thin stone veneer that looks at home in the rugged Llano County landscape. Our installations account for the region's granite-rich soils, well water mineral content, and the wide temperature swings that come with Highland Lakes country living.
