Stone Appearance
Stacked Stone Panels
Tight horizontal coursing in four profiles — the look behind most modern Miami feature walls, outdoor kitchens, and pool surrounds.
Stacked stone outsells everything else Miami Stone Veneer Specialists stocks, by a wide margin. It's the horizontal ledge profile you've seen on every renovated ranch house in Kendall and every new build in Doral — long, low courses that read as one clean band from across the street.
Why it reads so well at distance
Because the coursing is regular, your eye stops looking for the repeat. Random ashlar patterns fight for attention; stacked stone recedes and lets the shape of the building do the talking. That's why architects reach for it on contemporary elevations where the wall isn't meant to be the star.
The variable is shadow. Stacked Stone I has a 3¾-inch course and a shallow face, so in flat light it can look almost like a textured render. Stacked Stone II runs 5⅞ inches with genuinely varied stone depths — in afternoon sun it throws hard horizontal shadows that change the whole character of the wall. Pick based on which way the elevation faces.
Where it goes wrong
Two mistakes, both avoidable:
- Running one format across a huge elevation. On anything over about 400 square feet, mix two profiles or you'll start seeing the mould repeat. Alternate bands of Stacked Stone I and II is a common fix and looks deliberate.
- Skipping corner pieces. A mitred field panel at an outside corner shows its thickness, and once you've seen it you can't unsee it. Order the corners.
What it costs
Material sits in the $10 to $16 per square foot range depending on profile and volume. Corners are priced per linear foot and typically add 10 to 15% on a standard residential elevation. Send elevations and we'll do the take-off free.

Where this gets used
The applications this range is specified for most often in South Florida.
Exterior Wall Cladding
The biggest surface on the job and the one that has to survive Miami weather. Here's what we stock for exterior elevations and how it's specified.
View details →Pool Features
Pool environments destroy the wrong material in a season. These are the faces that hold up to continuous chlorine and salt exposure.
View details →Outdoor Kitchens
Summer kitchens run year-round here. Concrete stone over block takes direct grill heat and afternoon storms without complaint.
View details →Feature Walls
When the wall is the point. Deep-relief panels, lattice screens, and large-format stone specified for maximum effect.

The pillar of our range. Concrete stone that carries the colour, depth, and texture of quarried stone at a fraction of the weight and cost. Eight collections, 38 face formats, stocked locally.
View details →Rustic Stone
Deep relief and heavy texture for elevations that need weight. Six-size ashlar mixes through to 24-inch quarried panels.

What's the difference between the four stacked stone profiles? +
Course height and shadow depth. Stacked Stone I is the slimmest at 3¾ inches — it reads almost like a pinstripe. Stacked Stone II is 5⅞ inches with mixed stone depths, so it throws a much heavier shadow. Plain Stacked Stone sits between them at 7 1/16 inches in a single format. Ledger Stone is the small one, for columns and tight returns.
Which one for an outdoor kitchen island? +
Stacked Stone I, almost every time. The slim course wraps a 36-inch island without the coursing looking oversized, and the tight profile means less ledge for grease and rain to sit on.
Does stacked stone work on a curved wall? +
Up to a point. The shorter formats — Ledger Stone and Stacked Stone I — will follow a gentle radius. For anything tighter than about a 4-foot radius you want the Curved piece from our Mediterranean collection instead.
Do I need corner pieces? +
For an outside corner, yes, unless you want to see the panel thickness. Ask when you order and we'll work out the linear footage of corners alongside the field square footage.
