…but I think I’d rather have real stone, if it’s a good quality stone, over a cast stone copy. If/when it fails, cast stone is so obvious. The embedded rebar expands causing alligator cracking, and spalling, and dirt only emphasizes this flaw. When in doubt, Indiana limestone might be the safest, cheapest option for many situations, although maybe not brownstone.
