Perfect marriage of Stone Veneer and Stucco Finish.

Using Stone Veneers with Exterior Stucco.

Natural Stone Veneer & Stucco
Stone veneer and stucco go together like bread and butter. They both compliment each other and help balance out the exterior texture of a home. In terms of design the stucco acts as the base that holds things steady. While the stone veneer acts as the perfect accent. Combining the two is really effective when done properly.
The best way to create a balance between the two is to focus on the hues of the stone veneer and match that with the exterior colour. Stucco comes in a variety of muted colours, usually peach, mild orange, milky grey, and cream. As mentioned this will act as the base to the stone veneer accent colours. The stone veneer helps add a dash of flavour with colour, shape and texture. Experiment with balancing the accent with the base colours and see what suites your taste. It is also sometimes helpful to take a photo of your home and use it like a colour swatch when deciding on the right type of complimentary stone.

One of the best stone veneer for pairing up with stucco is the Canyon Ledge line. It is truly the jack of all trades in that each colour selection corresponds nicely to a popular stucco hue. For a mild orange stucco choose the Sandy Buff or Sienna hue. And for a milky grey or coffee coloured stucco choose Midnight Slate, Mountain or Santa Fe.
