Coral rocks have many uses, and can be incorporated into a variety of landscapes. It is cut in different shapes and sizes, and can be used in big blocks to build walls, fireplaces, or other structures. Coral rocks also come in flagging pieces, which increases their use even more.

There are many houses out there that are covered with dull siding. Siding, while versatile and easy to care for, doesn’t usually enhance the look of a house. But using coral rocks can add character and texture to tiresome siding. Here’s how: cover the lower four feet of the outside of the house with coral rocks flagging pieces. These can be applied by an adventurous homeowner, or designed and installed by professionals. The siding should be removed on the lower part of the house, and the area prepped. Then the pavers can be placed and mortared on the side of the house. The result is a beautiful home, tailored to the homeowner’s style. By selecting the desired color or size of the flagging pieces, it is easy to create a completely unique look. The coral rocks, being natural stone, will be practical and long-lasting.
