My house sits high off the ground so i need an idea what to cover over my foundation blocks. i can't afford stone and was wondering what is less expensive but would look nice, so sort of stucco that is used like on the homes down south.

Is it just a flat poured foundation or brin imprinted? Ours is brick imprinted. We painted it all white with a brush and then used a roller to highlight the definition.
If it is plain, how about a color that pleases the color of the house? You can then add hand prints, flower stencils, or whatever you like in a contrasting color.
Hi Kim,
You can paint faux stone. Here's one article showing this process, but you can look for other ideas online if want a different type of stone. I hope this helps you. Wishing you the best.

Stucco isn't all it's cracked up to be. It can bubble, peel or chip off due to moisture and since it's near the ground, you'll have moisture wicking up. Do yourself a favor and don't use that kind of stuff. Try painting it the color of your house and invest in some big shrubs to cover it up.
