Breathe new life into your outdoor stone! Applying limewash or lime slurry to exterior stone surfaces offers a combination of aesthetic and functional benefits that enhance both the appearance and longevity of stone structures. Aesthetically, these traditional treatments provide a timeless, matte finish that highlights the natural texture of the stone, with limewash offering a more translucent look and lime slurry providing a more opaque, uniform coating. Functionally, both limewash and lime slurry are breathable, allowing moisture to escape and preventing damage caused by trapped water, such as spalling and cracking. Additionally, Limewash and Lime Slurry protect the stone from environmental elements while maintaining flexibility to accommodate natural expansion and contraction. These natural, eco-friendly coatings also contribute to the overall durability and health of stone walls and structures, ensuring they remain both beautiful and structurally sound for years to come.

COLOR OPTIONS
Bulk Mineral Pigment or Mineral Pigment Packs
Bulk Mineral Pigment
Sold by the pound ($15), bulk mineral pigment is the economical choice with the trade off being the requirement of using a gram scale to measure bulk pigment per bag or batch.
The number of pounds of Bulk Mineral Pigment for a project is determined based on the number of bags of Lime Stucco in the Lime Stucco Calculator.
Mineral Pigment Pack
Add one per bag of Stucco. Ranging from $15 (lighter colors) to $50 (saturated colors), for some the trade off of the convenience of pre-measured Mineral Pigment Packs outweighs the trade off of cost.
The number of Mineral Pigment Packs for a project is based on the number of bags of Lime Stucco in the Lime Stucco Calculator.
