There is nothing like the beauty of solid stone. No stone facing, cinderblock, or poured concrete can compare to the look of real stone. We built this foundation out of locally-sourced cut stone.
Frost-Protected Shallow Foundation
There are a number of alternative building techniques available that can save money, time and energy (yours and the environment’s). Here is one of our favorites:
Frost Protected Shallow Foundations Build close to large trees without harming them; save you money on excavating costs; keep warmth within the foundation and in your home. This method can also incorporate rubble foundations, which is not only cost effective, but provides excellent drainage.
