Bluestone Treads & Brick

People often ask us if bluestone will match their existing brick homes or masonry, and the answer is a resounding YES! Treads and brick go together like rum and coke, or maybe peanut butter and jelly is a better simile, either way, it’s a great combo.

The neutral bluish-gray color of the step treads matches extremely well with almost any shade of brick. The two materials really compliment each other well in almost any project. Blue stone treads look great with brick risers, brick landings look good with blue stone borders, and stone accents can be used on varying specialized applications such as pizza ovens, mailboxes, fireplaces, etc.

Below are some pictures of projects that utilized the blue stone and brick combo from the last few years. For additional information and pictures please jump over to – https://robinsonflagstone.com/pa-flagstones/bluestone-treads-wall-coping-caps-pool-coping

Bluestone Caps with Bullnosed Edges

We recently fabricated some 30″ wide diameter round bluestone caps for a local customer. The rounds were used to cap piers outside of an entryway into a house.

The caps came out great, and we wanted to show some of the techniques that were used to make these.
