        "text": "Before your installer arrives, complete a few practical preparation steps to ensure a smooth workflow. First, decide on your layout pattern and purchase an extra 10 to 15 percent of stone material to account for natural color variation, veining preferences, and cutting waste. Clear all furniture, appliances, and vanity fixtures from the room so workers have unobstructed access. It is also wise to designate a sheltered staging and cutting area, such as a garage or driveway, because wet saws generate significant water spray and stone slurry. Finally, identify existing transition heights into adjacent rooms to discuss threshold options.",
