More and more people are opting for natural stone spaces, such as patios. Contractors looking to ensure a steady income and high demand would be wise to offer their clients a variety of natural stone material options. We've outlined some of the most popular options below.

According to LLCBuddy, homes fashioned from brick, stone, and masonry enjoy a 6% higher resale value on average. Many of your potential clients will already recognize that brick and stone could boost their property's value. This makes natural stone supplies and features an easier sell overall.

1. Saw and Chop

Sawed and chopped stones offer a rugged look. These stones are professionally cut to deliver an artisanal look and feel. Sawing and chopping works with a wide variety of stones, making it easy to offer a range of colors and textures. Ultimately, saw and chop is a mainstay in the industry for good reason. These stones are comparatively affordable, durable, and attractive.

2. Flagstone

One of the most attractive and chic options, flagstone is a great choice for patios, pathways, and many other spaces. Flagstone is relatively easy to install. However, individual pieces can be rather heavy and hard to move, making the right equipment and approach crucial. Flagstone is quite popular at the moment, so it's a wise idea to offer it as an option to your clients.

3. Moss Builders

Moss builders are generally darker-colored, relatively heavy stones. As the name implies, they encourage moss growth. Some clients will love the organic, green look of moss and lichen. It's smart to make sure that customers know what to expect if they are looking at moss builders.

4. Dry Stack

Great for building walls around raised flower beds and similar features. Dry stack is generally quite affordable and not especially difficult to install. Given its charming looks, it offers an excellent overall value proposition and will work in a variety of environments. These walls typically aren't quite as sturdy as wet-laid stones, although overall they are quite hardy.

The above list covers just some of the most popular natural stone options. It's important to make sure you get your natural stone supplies from a reputable supplier.
