Cast Stone:
Pros:
• Almost limitless color and texture options
• Lower materials/fabrication cost
• Good for exteriors because of its weather resistance and resistance to moss and lichen growth
• Can be made lighter than stone for applications where weight might be prohibitive or costly
Cons:
• Limited to stock designs and measurements, custom molds can be made, but are costly
• Colors can fade with time
Limestone:
Pros:
• Unlimited designs which are custom made for your home and style
• Strong, durable material created by nature
• Many limestone’s have fossils and other features which can’t be replicated in cast stone
Cons:
• Fabrication is more time consuming and costly than cast stone
• Might not hold up as well as cast stone in exterior situations. The natural calcium carbonate in the rock will weather away, moss will grow more easily
• Colors and texture are limited to those found in nature
