Low, long ledgestone with a cleft face
Southern Ledge is the thinnest-coursed ledgestone we make. Pieces are long and low with a natural cleft face, and when they are stacked tight the wall shows fine horizontal lines, more like sedimentary rock than a rubble wall. It looks especially good on long, low runs: a foundation band, a wainscot under siding, a garden wall, or a wide fireplace in a room with low ceilings.
Three colors: Bucks Country in mixed tan, brown and gray, Fargo Brown in warm browns, and Dark Night in deep gray to black.
Piece sizes and weight
Pieces run 4 to 14 inches long and 1.5 to 4.25 inches high. Weight is 5 to 8 pounds per square foot.
Installing Southern Ledge
Southern Ledge is an adhered manufactured stone veneer and goes on like any other: a weather-resistive barrier and metal lath over framed walls, a scratch coat, then each piece is buttered with mortar and pressed to the wall. Over concrete or block, the scratch coat goes straight onto the masonry. Keep the stone at least 4 inches above grade and 2 inches above paving, use corners at every outside corner, and follow the manufactured stone veneer installation guide and your local code. Southern Ledge is laid drystack with the pieces touching.
How to order Southern Ledge
Every color is its own product. Open the color, enter the wall area in square feet, and add corners in linear feet if the wall turns a corner. The order minimum is 100 square feet of flats per color; corners have no minimum and can be ordered alone. Prices are on every product page, factory-direct, with no dealer in between.
Stone is made to order in Lenexa, Kansas, and is usually ready in 2 to 4 weeks. Most customers pick up at the plant; if you cannot, we arrange freight to your address and you pay the carrier. Because every run is made for one job, orders are final sale. Order the whole wall from one run so the color stays consistent, and add 10 percent for cuts and waste.
