SPLIT FACE
Split face stone is created by breaking the stone along its natural grain, resulting in a textured surface with sharper lines and defined edges. This process produces a balanced look that combines natural variation with a more intentional, structured appearance.
At Briar Hill Sandstone, split face stone is selected for its consistency, strength, and visual contrast, making it a versatile option for retaining walls and landscape applications that require both durability and refined detail.

TEXTURE
WITH CONTROL
Split face stone offers a distinct surface profile that creates depth and shadow without the rugged mass of heavier stone options. Its controlled texture allows it to integrate well with other stone elements while still standing out as a feature.
