This Ottawa (Ontario) home was skillfully masoned, and you can really see the contrast and character of the Granite Stone. Also pictured below is a house built in the mountains of West Virginia, using a dark mortar joint. On this home, the trimming of the windows, doors, and chimney were done with a light grey accent brick. Overall, the tones on this home really darken the final look (vs. the first home with light and recessed mortar).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z4evO6-6_1w?si=1CsoLHRg4osOSilU\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOVERAGE ESTIMATES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common planning estimate is \u003cstrong\u003e40 square feet of coverage per ton\u003c\/strong\u003e of full bed stone.
