Monarch Stone International provided both the stone and installation services.<\/p>\n<p>Initially there were two stones considered; a limestone from Texas and Santa Barbara Sandstone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monarchstoneinternational.com\/products\/architectural-stone\/santa-barbara-sandstone\/santa-barbara-sandstone-gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santa Barbara Sandstone<\/a> was chosen due to its unique colors, large block size and proximity to Southern California.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monarchstoneinternational.com\/products\/architectural-stone\/santa-barbara-sandstone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Santa Barbara Sandstone<\/strong><\/a> is a beautiful stone indigenous to Santa Barbara, Montecito and nearby areas in California. In its natural state, its harvested as boulders then cut to size. It\u2019s famous for its texture and\u00a0workability. Santa Barbara Sandstone\u2019s natural color ranges include white, buff, yellow, beige, tan, brown, rose and greens.<\/p>\n<p>The natural color range requested was &#8220;Buff&#8221;. There were some initial challenges with this for two reasons. Color and &#8220;activity&#8221; in stone can vary &#8211; in this case, from boulder to boulder. The ability to find Santa Barbara Sandstone boulders in the buff color range large enough to fabricate into the large block segments was one. To find boulders without variation created yet another challenge. We were prepared to overcome both areas and diligent in our efforts to meet all specifications. The final products were both handsome as well as functional. Comfortable seating areas are a welcomed addition to this inviting landscape!<\/p>\n<h5>Specifications:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Santa Barbara Sandstone: natural split face 4 sides, smooth top with \u00bc\u201d rounded edges, sawn bottom.<\/li>\n<li>Edges of vertical joint segments dressed straight.<\/li>\n<li>7 benches total with sizes ranging from 18\u201d wide x 21\u201d high x 78\u201d to 144\u201d long in 4 segments each at 36\u201d long<\/li>\n<li>Installation and management services provided by Monarch Stone International.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information or to discuss your stone requirements <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monarchstoneinternational.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>visit our website<\/strong><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monarchstoneinternational.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a> and give Anthony a call today!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monarchstoneinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Santa-Barbara-Sandstone-Benches-1a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4297 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monarchstoneinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Santa-Barbara-Sandstone-Benches-1a.jpg\" alt=\"Santa Barbara Sandstone benches\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santa Barbara Sandstone stone benches are a handsome addition to this corporate office landscape setting in Irvine California.
