Key considerations:

For this particular endeavor, Milestone brought in their best designer to install two different color Porphyry stones — Storm Grey and Copper Mountain. The client found Milestone Imports online and wanted to construct a unique driveway via contrasting colored Porphyry to create a mixture of patterns and borders for the final product. What resulted in a driveway/entrance way packed with 25,000 square feet of stone proved the exceptionality of Stone Paving Technologies’ GftK jointing mortar (grout), for long-lasting durability.

4”x4” running Bond Pattern

Key Consideration

For installation of the Storm Grey 4×4 Porphyry stone in a running bond pattern, Milestone turned to Stone Paving Technologies’ GftK jointing mortar (grout). By combining the extremely durable stone that holds a strength of 27,550 PSI (pounds per square inch) with GftK jointing mortar on top of a snow melt system, the Santa Fe project resulted in a residence adored by the client for its unique beauty and strength to last a lifetime.
