Indianapolis Home Show Exhibitor Spotlight: Stone Center Of Indiana

We're thrilled to have Stone Center of Indiana joining us at the Indianapolis Home Show, January 23 - February 1, 2015 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

Before you see this rocking exhibitor at the show, get to know them better below...

Name: Matt Riester

Booth Number: 8230

Describe your products:
"Residential Stone and Brick from Stone Center includes the most popular types of veneer and thin veneer stone, trim, and accent stone, architectural and paving brick, and interior/exterior stone products from the leading manufacturers and quarriers."

What are you best home or garden tips for this season?
"One of our best tips for this season is to switch your landscape beds from mulch to decorative aggregates. There may be a great expense initially, but ultimately you will save money by eliminating annual mulching and maintenance."

What are your featured items this season?
"Our featured item this season is natural stone pavement from Oakville Stone. Oakville Stone boasts a wide selection of both colors and textures of stone that can offer looks that will work in the most traditional, as well as, the most contemporary of outdoor spaces. Due to Oakville's exacting measures of quarrying and fabrication to a precise thickness, installation is a snap. Pricing is comparable to many manufactured concrete pavers, so if you are considering a new patio space it's easy to make the 'natural' choice."

What is your favorite part about the Indianapolis Home Show?
"I love visiting the South Bend Chocolate Factory to stock up on chocolate for my kids (and myself)."

Any additional company info you think we should know about?
"Bring your professional designed home or landscaping plans to our booth to receive a $250 credit on our products for your project!"
