Why Natural Stone Veneer is the Perfect Summer Exterior Upgrade

Summer is the season of transformation — not just for gardens, but for homes too. If you’re thinking about updating your home’s exterior, natural thin stone veneer is one of the most impactful, durable, and visually stunning upgrades you can make.

At Green Mountain Veneer, we specialize in premium natural thin stone veneer quarried and crafted right here in Vermont. Whether you’re re-siding your home, adding curb appeal, or building an outdoor feature wall, natural stone veneer adds timeless beauty with real long-term value.


What is Natural Stone Veneer?

Natural stone veneer is real stone that’s cut into thin slices — typically around 1″ thick — allowing it to be applied to walls like a façade. Unlike manufactured stone, our stone is 100% natural, with color and texture that can’t be replicated.


Top Reasons to Choose Natural Stone Veneer for Summer Projects

1. Instant Curb Appeal That Lasts

Stone siding has long been associated with elegance and strength. Adding natural stone veneer to your home’s exterior boosts visual interest and adds a layer of luxury — without the need for structural stonework.

Popular applications: entryways, chimneys, foundations, and full facades.

2. Durable and Weather-Resistant

Our Vermont and New England-quarried stone veneer holds up against any four-season climate — resisting moisture, heat, and freeze/thaw cycles better than many other siding materials.

Perfect for homeowners looking for long-term performance and minimal maintenance.

3. Easy Installation Over Existing Surfaces

Because it’s lightweight and flat-backed, thin stone veneer can be applied over wood sheathing, concrete block, or masonry surfaces with ease — making it ideal for summer remodeling projects.

Great for contractors or DIYers looking to refresh home exteriors without structural changes.

4. Pairs Beautifully with Other Exterior Materials

Natural stone veneer complements wood, fiber cement, and even metal siding — allowing you to create a custom look that fits your home’s personality.

Ask us about matching stone to your existing siding for a seamless blend.

5. Locally Quarried, Sustainably Crafted

At Green Mountain Veneer, we believe in creating beautiful products with integrity. Our stone is locally sourced from local quarries, supporting sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact.

Choose from a variety of cuts and color blends including mosaic, ashlar, ledgestone, and square & rec.
