The H-2B workers make up a great deal of our workforce during our peak season each year. The workers usually arrive between February and April but, due to the massive dysfunction with the DOL there was a Visa Lottery and companies were chosen at random whether or not they received their workers. Only one of our three applications were chosen and approved and our workers did not arrive until July. From there we had to figure out how to work with only 1/3 of our temporary workforce. Sadly, there were a tremendous number of businesses that did not get approved at all. This resulted with many businesses having to close their doors this year. Although we managed to fulfill our obligations to our customers it was not without sacrifice. We turned away new clients and jobs in order to focus on the pending orders at hand. We unexpectedly increased our prices to make up for the extra labor required to fulfill the orders in production. Then we had to plan how to take advantage of making the most of our production since we would only have our workers for four months rather than nine months. These were all things that we were not prepared to face. We’ve used the H-2B program since 2007 and had never experienced a crisis like we did this past year. Even... --- ### Natural Stone Showcase - April 2018 - Published: 2018-03-27 - Modified: 2018-04-06 - URL: https://legendstonellc.com/natural-stone-showcase-april-2018/ Natural Stone Showcase Let Us Send You Our New Catalog Or Get A New Quote Your Balustrade Masterpiece Turn your home into an architectural masterpiece by including our balustrades into your design.

Whether you’re constructing a new home, renovating an existing space, or designing a large-scale building project, understanding the properties of the most popular building stone types is crucial. Stones form under various conditions—some through heat and pressure, others through chemical processes, and still others from rock fragments—and each variety offers unique benefits. Below, we’ll explore the top 10 types of stone frequently used in building constructions (including by Legend Stone), explaining how they form, why they’re an excellent choice for certain projects, and what sets them apart compared to other natural stones. 1. Granite Granite stands out among granite and basalt, the two most renowned igneous rocks, for its high compression strength and resistance to weather composition. Formed deep beneath the Earth’s crust when magma cools slowly, granite often appears fine-grained to medium-grained and contains minerals like quartz and feldspar. These characteristics contribute to its outstanding compressive strength and low water absorption levels, making it a top pick for high-traffic areas such as countertops, flooring, and structural frameworks. Formation: Igneous (cooled magma) Key Properties: High durability, low water absorption, minimal maintenance Ideal Uses: Kitchen countertops, floors, building exteriors Because of its ability to remain intact under extreme conditions, granite has earned a reputation as a popular building stone for both indoor and outdoor applications. 2. Basalt Basalt, another igneous rock, is often overshadowed by granite’s popularity. Yet, it’s prized... --- ### Building With Natural Stone--Smart For Big Reasons > Modern building construction focuses on addressing the problems of sustainability, efficiency, environmental impact, manufacturing costs, and aesthetic appeal. - Published: 2018-04-30 - Modified: 2020-01-31 - URL: https://legendstonellc.com/building-with-natural-stone-smart-for-big-reasons/ - Categories: BLOG Modern building construction focuses on addressing the problems of sustainability, efficiency, environmental impact, manufacturing costs, and aesthetic appeal. In the past year, masonry (i. e. , the use of natural stone in the construction process) has become increasingly more popular due to its competitiveness in these problem areas. A comprehensive study performed by the German university Institut für Massivbau of Technische Universität Darmstadt and the Life Cycle Engineering Experts (LCEE) focuses on the use of masonry to address these issues. The study provides detailed scientific analyses demonstrating the superiority of natural stone over other construction materials such as wood and concrete, in addition to cost-benefit analyses that consider sustainability and manufacturing. 1.

The masonry industry produces very little production waste. Any remaining raw materials from production are recycled into the process and used for other products, instead of being thrown out. Recycling raw materials provides economic and sustainable manufacturing and business model. Additionally, a natural stone wall requires as little as 3 pounds of mortar per foot. Compared to other building methods and materials such as reinforced concrete, exterior natural stone walls can be built at lower manufacturing costs. 2. High passive insulation In addition to having a low environmental impact and low manufacturing costs, natural stone materials provide high passive insulation for buildings. The study shows that masonry wall constructions can reach exceptional heat transfer coefficients for houses... --- ### 3 Reasons Why Natural Stone Creates a Truly Sustainable Home > Homebuilders, buyers, and architects are interested in long-lasting, beautiful homes that provide comfort and sustainability. - Published: 2018-04-30 - Modified: 2024-05-17 - URL: https://legendstonellc.com/3-reasons-why-natural-stone-creates-a-truly-sustainable-home/ - Categories: BLOG The current housing market is flooded with materials and design choices that can make choosing materials for a house feel overwhelming. Homebuilders, buyers, and architects are interested in long-lasting, beautiful homes that provide comfort and sustainability. Yet it can be difficult to determine which combination of materials and designs should be chosen to maximize sustainability and efficiency without sacrificing quality and aesthetic appeal. Truly sustainable homes consider not only the materials they are composed of but the long-term impact of the building on the environment and the building’s life cycle. A house built of sustainable materials that do not last a reasonably long amount of time is inherently not sustainable. So how does natural stone create a truly sustainable home? Here are three facts to help guide you in choosing natural stone for your sustainable home. 1. Stone is a natural material and is manufactured sustainably As a natural product of the earth, little to no extra materials are required to manufacture the materials. The only resources required to fabricate the stone for construction purposes are energy for transportation and shaping (of which, all materials require). Technological advancements in masonry have effectively minimized waste production and conserved resources. Additionally, there are a variety of different textures, colors, and characteristics of stone to suit whatever the home’s needs are. 2.  Natural stone is a recyclable material Although there are many natural materials that can be used to construct a home, not all of these materials are easily recyclable. When considering the... --- ### Lueders Stone: What Is It? > Lueders Limestone: Durable, Elegant Texas Stone for Residential & Commercial Projects.
