Three disciplines most Northern Virginia homes need — veneer, patios, walkways.

Fitted, cut, and pointed by hand. Summit's stonework covers the three disciplines most Northern Virginia homes call for — stone veneer, stone patios, and stone walkways. Each is set on a properly prepared base, to the tolerances stone earns by lasting a hundred years.

DISCIPLINES

Three disciplines.

  1. 01 Thin-cut stone applied to existing surfaces.

    Stone Veneer

    Stone veneer is a thin layer of natural or manufactured stone set against an existing surface — a wall, a chimney, an entry column. It reads as full stone but weighs a fraction of it, which widens where and how it can be used.

    Details

  2. 02 Cut, dry-fit, and pointed on a settled base.

    Stone Patio

    A stone patio is as much about what's under the stone as what's on top. Proper base preparation, drainage, and joint detail are what separate a patio that reads as craft from one that heaves, stains, and shifts in its first winter.

    Details

  3. 03 Paths that carry traffic without heaving.

    Stone Walkways

    A walkway is a small patio that has to move people — which means every joint, every edge, and every inch of base has to carry foot traffic and shed water. The material you pick is a character decision; how it's set is a longevity decision.

We work across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the District. Every stonework project starts with a site visit and a written estimate.
