FAQs

Can I use this stone for step treads?

While it is a sturdy stone, it is primarily designed for coping walls and edging. Check the load-bearing specifications before using it in high-traffic walking areas.

Does the color of the stone fade over time?

As a natural stone, it may develop a light patina, but it does not fade in the way dyed materials do.

What type of mortar should I use?

Use a standard exterior-grade hydraulic lime or Portland cement-based mortar suitable for natural stone masonry.

Can these be installed by an amateur?

Yes, but due to the weight of the stone and the need for accurate cutting, basic masonry skills are highly recommended.

How do I deal with moss growth?

Use a gentle, biodegradable stone cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, followed by a thorough water rinse.

Troubleshooting

Mortar is not adhering to the stone

Ensure the back of the stone is dampened and cleaned of dust before placement to improve the bond with the mortar bed.

Uneven or wobbling stones after installation

Check the level of the foundation wall. If the base is uneven, remove the stone and adjust the mortar thickness to create a uniform surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced durability for outdoor weather conditions
  • Classic design suitable for many architectural styles
  • Provides a clean and polished border for landscaping projects

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal alignment
  • Natural material may show variations in color compared to samples
  • Heavyweight units require careful handling during transport and placement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Lakefell coping should be performed using a high-quality, exterior-grade mortar bed to ensure long-term adhesion to the wall or substrate. Always ensure the base is level and free of debris before applying the mortar. When cutting the stones to fit corners or specific lengths, use a wet-diamond saw to ensure a clean, precise finish without damaging the edge. Regarding care, the stone is low maintenance; simply rinse with clean water to remove dirt or moss buildup. Avoid using harsh acidic cleaners or power washers at close range, as these can strip the natural sealant and compromise the surface integrity.
