Nashkov Group Construction LLC applied decorative plaster to the exposed foundation and shaped the finish to resemble stone blocks. Textured faces and recessed joint lines give the lower wall a more defined appearance beneath the shingle-style siding, with the pattern continued around the outside corner.

Stage 01
The original exposed foundation surface
The starting photograph shows a plain foundation band beneath the shingle-style siding. A vent, a downspout and nearby planting define the surrounding exterior details, while weathering is visible toward the lower part of the wall.
This view establishes the original appearance before the stone-effect plaster finish. The planned decorative work concerned the visible foundation surface below the siding.
Before: plain foundation surface beneath the siding, beside the vent and downspout.
Stage 02
Applying and shaping the decorative plaster
Decorative plaster was applied and shaped into a stone-block pattern. Recessed horizontal and vertical lines define the blocks, while irregular surface texture gives each face a stone-like appearance.
The detail photograph shows the formed finish beneath the siding, beside an existing pipe and below the exterior electrical box. The coating edge remains visible at the right, recording this section during the finishing work.
During the finish: recessed joint lines and textured plaster at the wall details.
Stage 03
Continuing the texture around the corner
The decorative pattern was carried around the outside corner so the adjacent foundation faces read as a coordinated finish. Joint lines follow the turn, with the textured plaster continuing below the siding and corner trim.
The result photograph shows the more strongly defined foundation surface at the corner. The block pattern and rough texture give the base of the house a stone-effect appearance.
Result: the stone-effect plaster pattern continued around the outside corner.
