Natural Thin Stone Veneer

The same high quality stone as full veneer and will look exactly the same once installed.
 
The thin stone is roughly one inch in depth and weighing approximately 13 pounds per square foot. This is particularly advantageous because it means that the materials can be applied to just about any structurally sound wall. You won’t have to stress about reworking your plans because the stone is too heavy or bulky. The following advantages are:
  1. Ease of Installation – Lightweight thin veneers are also much easier to handle than the full thickness stone. They’re easy to lift and there’s a reduced risk of injury during the process.
  2. Ease of Transportation – The lighter weight of the product allows us to ship it throughout the country.
  3. Roughly similar in weight to artificial stone – The thin stone is about the same weight as cultured stone.
  4. Requires no foundation footing – The stone is supported by the wall rather than the footing. This makes it perfect for remodeling projects as well.
  5. Durability – This is the biggest question we get from skeptics but assuming proper installation the durability is exactly the same. They both lasts a lifetime and we offer a limited lifetime warranty.
  6. Price – Slightly more expense than full bed depth stone due to the additional production process. Overall less expensive due to reduced transport and installation costs.
RSSY stocks a very large quantity of Thin and Thick Natural Stone products with 10 distinct colors offered in 4 styles (or cuts), making it easy to compare and choose the perfect stone for your project. The stone comes in pallets for easy pick-up and delivery. Please call (703) 339-8095 for pricing or visit our website for additional details.
 
 

The Functions of Interlocking Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are often found in places where extra support is needed to prevent the earth from moving downhill with erosion. The most basic function of a retaining wall is to battle gravity; the lateral force of the slope must be offset in the retaining wall’s design. Retaining walls can also:
  • Provide more usable land
  • Manage water runoff
  • Provide extra seating
Call (703) 339-8095 or visit the Yard today to discuss your retaining wall applications and review our products lines including Belgard, Nicolock, Keystone Hardscapes and Tech-Bloc.
 
 

Order Our Seasoned Firewood in Time for the Cold Weather!

Cold weather is coming… time to order some firewood! Lows are going to be in the 20’s over the next few days. You can purchase RSSY Seasoned Firewood by the Cord or Half Cord, Pallet Homeowner Stacks, or by the Piece. Cord sizes are regulated by law and RSSY complies with industry standards. A full cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet of wood. It is a stack of split wood 8 feet long by 4 feet deep, by 4 feet high. Following are approximate cord and half cord dimensions:
 
Full cord – 8′ x 4’ x 4’ = 128 cu ft
Half cord – 4’ x 4’ x 4’ = 64 cu ft
 
Firewood is a great way to heat your home or create that special romantic evening for your loved one.
All of our firewood is seasoned, split, and ready to burn. Log lengths range from approximately 16 to 18 inches in length and are between 2 and 5 inches in diameter. Be sure to order your firewood early because when the cold weather arrives, we sell out quickly and seasoned wood becomes hard to find.

RSSY Firewood can be purchased and delivered in baskets or cords or in pieces. Please call for pricing today.
