Install Decorative Stone Veneer

What happens here

With the structural core of the pillar fully assembled and secured, begin applying the decorative stone veneer. Start from the bottom and work your way up, ensuring the first course is perfectly level. Apply a suitable adhesive or thin-set mortar to the back of each stone veneer piece or directly to the block surface, then firmly press the veneer into place. Stagger the joints for a natural, appealing look. Trim pieces as needed with a wet saw or angle grinder to fit around corners or achieve desired lengths. Ensure even spacing and firm adhesion for each piece.

Goal: Once the structural core is complete, decorative stone veneer pieces are carefully applied to the exterior using appropriate adhesive or mortar, creating the final aesthetic.
