Stone Veneer Column on a Modern Home

Project Overview

A single stone-clad column can change how a plain stucco facade reads from the street. In this example, natural stacked stone wraps a structural column at the entry, giving the modern roofline a solid, grounded anchor point.

The pieces are laid in tight horizontal courses with minimal visible joints, which suits contemporary architecture better than a rounded fieldstone pattern would. For materials, the installation process and price ranges, see our guide to exterior stone cladding and stone siding.

What the Photos Show

Key details:

  • Stone wraps all exposed faces of the column for a full-thickness look
  • Tight, dry-stack style joints with horizontal emphasis
  • Clean termination at the soffit and slab
  • Neutral gray-tan palette that works with white stucco

How This Type of Work Is Done

01

Substrate prep

The column surface is prepared with a weather-resistive barrier and lath before any mortar goes on.

02

Corner layout

Corner pieces are set first so the stone reads as solid blocks rather than a thin applied skin.

03

Field stone and cleanup

Flat pieces fill the faces course by course, and excess mortar is brushed off before it cures.
