I like that stone. But where is the stone going to go?

I think you posted the same stone twice...

In that case, I don't like the second one.

I'd choose Elkwood for its more uniform grey colors. I'd change the trim to a grey from white.

So is the stone going in the area under the patio, and the lower part of the pillars?

Where is the stone going?

Should’ve totally mentioned where the stone would go. It will go up the garage front to a point (circled in red), halfway up the pillar(covering the cinder block area, back of steps And the whole front of the foundation.

@hallett & Co. you’re right I did post prestige twice! This is a picture of the color elk wood

I feel the stone so high up around the garage doors will look bad. I think the stone on the skinny piers below the columns will look odd. The stone should cover the foundation and GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE HOUSE.

The type of stone application you are considering we (less-than affectionately) refer to as "lick-and-stick." It's difficult to make it look like anything other than what it is: artificial.

I would also advise against using cultured (man-made) stone because it is susceptible to damage. When the surface is damaged--say, from a rock launched by a lawn mower--it can reveal the interior of the product which is usually a different color than the surface. Then you get a pock-marked foundation.

I think you'll do more to improve the curb appeal of your home if you'll swap out the porch columns for more substantial ones and add shutters to the single windows over the garage.

Agree with Charles and Mark.

What you're trying to do with stone is adding the proverbial lipstick to a nice looking house. By adding the stone around the garage, you're then emphasizing the garage. The front door and porch should be the focal point.

Like mentioned, beef up the columns, and add stone only around the foundation. Additionally paint the garage doors the same color as the house so they are not the first thing you see and then paint the front door a cheery color that says, "Come visit".

No stone, just continue the new siding and paint the garage doors to match siding color. You have a very attractive home, keep it simple. I see you're getting new landscaping (yay!). Suggest you opt for several varieties of yellow and white flowering shrubs that bloom throughout the growing season and a bright yellow front door. That combination is sure to enhance your home's curb appeal.

Thank you everyone! Yes- landscaping is next. Can’t wait to see it all come together :)
