The Stone Store Introduces New Hardscape Display

Exciting things are happening at The Stone Store in Hanover, Maryland. In preparation for the spring season, The Stone Store recently teamed with Belgard Hardscapes and Continental Landscaping to renovate an existing outdoor living area.

Having partnered for years with Belgard Hardscapes, it was an easy decision to reconstruct an outdated 2,000-square-foot area to showcase the latest colors and profiles introduced in this year’s Belgard product line. In addition to featuring the latest in pavers, the display area also contains Harmony Outdoor Living elements including a Chicago brick oven, homeowner-friendly products such as Weston Wall and Celtik Wall, and a unique custom Yin Yang design all installed by Continental Landscaping of Severn, Maryland.

“We are honored to have Continental Landscaping available to partner with us on design and installation of this project,” said Kim Himmel, vice president and general manager of The Stone Store. “As a premier installer to The Stone Store and with Tony Verzi of Continental Landscaping having been named Belgard Master Craftsman, Continental Landscaping was a perfect fit.”

The Belgard Master Craftsman designation is recognition from Belgard for someone who is outstanding in their craft - an award-winning installer with a commitment to continuing education as well as a commitment to growing business through innovative products and programs available through Belgard Hardscapes. Tony Verzi joined one of two Master Craftsman on the east coast with only nine across the country having ever received this distinction.

The Stone Store ribbon cutting ceremony was held on April 18 to showcase the new display area and honor Tony Verzi of Continental Landscaping for his outstanding achievement. Representatives from the West County Chamber of Commerce, the Anne Arundel County Executive’s office, BWI Airport, Belgard Hardscapes and Harmony Outdoor Living were on hand to assist with the celebration.

The Stone Store provides the largest and most unique selection of natural stone and earth products in the Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia area. Customers are encouraged to visit The Stone Store on Saturday, June 15, from 10:00am to 3:00pm for Do-it-Yourself Day II to learn how to install popular outdoor living projects from the pros.
