Modular Stone system

Check it out!

http://www.fingerlakesstone.net/new%20products.htm

Thought it was a very cool and innovative idea.

I recentently sent a design in for a radius cut set of steps. I'm hoping they can figure out a way to do it.

I really like the concept...........It's almost like segmental retaining wall block but instead of concrete, stone.

May help us landscapers compete with masons a bit easier.

That is a neat idea! Making some more complex variations would be nice.

Y'know, I did a little project on one of the finger lakes - not sure which one. Whichever one is home to Skaneateles. Beautiful area.

This does look interesting. Is there an installation guide to explain how it goes up?

Isn't that a hoot! Did you do that on purpose Lanelle? I looked back at the site, and it says "For installation instructions, click here". Of course, there's nothing to click....

Having numbered pieces would be the cat's meow...

The instructions w/ pictures came up for me.

I don't know, but it isn't doing much for me.

Agla, I'm with you looks too neat, stone work for me needs to have more rough edges a few odder shapes.......

Yes, I was frustrated that I couldn't get a better look at the product, up close, as well as seeing how they propose putting it together. Seeing it in person would be the easiest way to judge the look. Short of that, some better photos would help.

I kinda liked the look, but having only one option would really restrict their use, just in considering total rise. In design, one layout would get old pretty quick. If they can create that setup with curved steps as you mention, then you have a start.

What do they recommend to adhere one stone course to the course below it?
