Tile to Masonry Transition Stonework
How to Build a Masonry Pond
If you've been following tile excellence blog for some years now, maybe you've felt comfortable and tried your hand at doing some tile work. If you've successfully done some tile work then stone and masonry work will be easy. Tile has straight lines and precise cuts needing a lot of careful planning to keep it straight and clean. Natural stone on the other hand is more like a jigsaw puzzle without straight lines and an abstract pattern. Its installed with concrete like tile and leveled flat in the same way, just no lines to keep straight and an all natural stone finish. I built a Koi pond in my backyard from concrete with stone around the edge and a brick paver patio around it. Here's a series of pictures, taking you through, step-by-step so you can DIY!
