The Beauty of Natural Stone: Why Homeowners Love Granite, Marble & Quartzite

Natural stone has captivated homeowners for centuries—and for good reason. Its timeless beauty, unique veining, and enduring strength make materials like granite, marble, and quartzite ideal for upgrading kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces. At Planet Stone, we’ve helped thousands of Los Angeles homeowners transform their living spaces with high-quality, custom-fabricated stone surfaces.
Let’s explore why granite countertops, marble waterfall counters, and prefab quartzite countertops continue to be some of the most sought-after features in modern homes.
Granite Countertops – A Classic Choice that Stands the Test of Time
Granite countertops in Los Angeles remain an evergreen favorite among homeowners thanks to their natural beauty and resilience. Formed from cooled and solidified magma, granite is one of the hardest materials available for residential surfaces, making it resistant to scratches, chips, and heat.
What sets granite apart isn’t just its durability—it’s the uniqueness of each slab. With intricate color patterns ranging from subtle earth tones to vibrant blues and greens, no two granite countertops are ever the same.
At Planet Stone, we offer a wide selection of granite countertops Los Angeles residents can count on for both quality and value. Starting at just $45.99 per square foot, our prefabricated options bring luxury to kitchens, wet bars, or Jacuzzi surrounds, without breaking the bank.

The Timeless Sophistication of a Marble Waterfall Counter
There’s something effortlessly elegant about a marble waterfall counter. This design, where marble flows seamlessly over the edge of the surface straight to the floor, adds a sculptural focal point to kitchens and islands, often becoming the heart of the room.
Marble is prized for its veining, which brings a natural flow and depth to any design. Carrara and Calacatta marbles, two of the most popular varieties, are beloved for their cool tones and striking patterns. While marble does require a bit more maintenance, homeowners are often more than willing to care for it, appreciating the lived-in, timeless aesthetic it offers with age.
A carefully constructed marble waterfall counter speaks volumes about thoughtful design and craftsmanship. At Planet Stone, we bring years of experience to every custom marble installation, ensuring your centerpiece is as functional as it is beautiful.

Prefab Quartzite Countertops – A Bold Yet Practical Upgrade
If you’re searching for a natural stone that offers the look of marble but the durability of granite, prefab quartzite countertops are your answer. Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock formed from sandstone under intense heat and pressure, giving it an incredibly dense and hard surface, harder even than granite.
Quartzite’s spectrum of color blended with its marble-like aesthetics makes it a favorite for both modern and traditional designs. The prefabricated quartzite available at Planet Stone allow for affordable installation without compromising quality or style. And since quartzite is heat- and scratch-resistant, it’s especially ideal for busy kitchens and outdoor spaces.
