Professional natural stone veneer installation by Lambdin Masonry throughout Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Folsom, El Dorado Hills and surrounding communities.
What Is Natural Stone Veneer?
Natural stone veneer is genuine quarried stone cut into thinner pieces for use as an architectural finish. Unlike manufactured stone, every piece is real stone with its own natural color, texture, mineral variation and surface character.
Thin natural stone veneer creates the appearance of traditional stone masonry while reducing the overall weight and depth of the installation. It can be used for both interior and exterior projects when the supporting wall and installation system are properly prepared.
Because the stone is naturally formed, no two installations are exactly alike. The finished result depends on thoughtful blending, proportion, stone placement, cutting and joint treatment.
Why Homeowners Choose Natural Stone
Natural stone veneer offers authentic material, unique variation and a timeless architectural appearance.
Genuine Material
Every piece is cut from real quarried stone, giving the finished installation authentic texture, color and mineral variation.
Naturally Unique
Each stone varies naturally, creating a finished wall that cannot be perfectly duplicated.
Timeless Appearance

Natural Stone Styles and Materials
Natural stone veneer is available in many shapes, textures and laying patterns. Availability varies by supplier and quarry.

Where Natural Stone Veneer Can Be Used
Exterior Walls
Home elevations, architectural accents, additions and exterior remodeling projects.
Fireplaces
Interior and exterior fireplace surrounds designed as substantial architectural features.
Columns and Entryways
Porch columns, entry features and other areas where genuine stone adds depth and character.
Interior Accent Walls
Feature walls and interior spaces where natural texture and variation are desired.
Stone Selection and Layout Matter
Natural stone varies in size, thickness, color and surface character. Before and during installation, the material must be sorted and blended so the finished wall has a balanced distribution of shapes and colors.
Corners, larger pieces, smaller filler stones and visible cuts should be positioned intentionally. Joint size and mortar treatment also have a major effect on the finished appearance.
Lambdin Masonry approaches natural stone veneer as a true masonry installation, with careful attention given to both the wall system and the visible craftsmanship.
