Inside corner (lap siding to stone veneer)
I haven't started yet, but here is the situation. I'm looking for opinions on what will look the best.
Hardi Plank, w/the six inch reveal on the side of the house (rancher) is going to butt into a wall of Eldorado dry stack stone veneer. I've got everything down as far as install of the stone and the Lap Siding, I'm just not sure if I should put the siding first and then the stone or vise versa to create a nice transitioin between the two materials. Keep in mind the stone varries from 2"-3.5" in width.
Right now my thoughts are to put the siding up first and butt the stone to the siding. Fill in any gaps w/ mortar. Any thoughts as to why this would NOT be the way to go?
Thanks in advance for your opinions and experience w/ this.
Josh

So just a piece of standard hardi trim would do the trick, right? That makes sense.
I should mention that this inside corner is under the front porch roof line and should never receive much moisture at all.

This way you could skip the mortar in the corner as well, it'll probably just crack anyway

Your probably right. If I run the trim and then the stone, I could start the stone work against the trim and virtually eliminate any gaps.
Thanks for the help Steve.

If this is a stacked stone why would you mortar between the stone and siding? I may be wrong but it is a dry stack i presume. I am also running into the same issue with a chimney. Except the siding is already run into the chimney and i have no choice but to run the stone up to the siding.

I actually like how the stone against the siding looks verses having the 1x in between

That is actually a picture of cedar soffit rotated for effect. I like the look too, but it took a whole day to scribe the soffit to the stone. I would have preferred the corner board to be protruding just beyond the outermost point of the stone, but it wasn't my call.

i think either way as long as its done elegantly
masonary to wood connections always bother me i think hardie recomends a 1/4 '' spacing between the trim and masonary not sure tho

The trim is all Azek. First job we've done with paint. We'll see what happens.

Maybe YOU should install the siding!
Good luck.
Ps. NAPTOWN: Hardi Trim sucks! Anything beats it!
