Steps
Install flashing at the base and at penetrations before the veneer goes on, lapping the WRB over the flashing's vertical leg for positive drainage
Apply metal lath over the WRB, overlapping it at vertical and horizontal seams per the current installation guide, and wrapping it around corners to the next stud
Apply a scratch coat of the mortar type the current guide specifies, embedding the lath within it
Apply the manufactured stone veneer units into a setting bed, keying units together per the manufacturer's pattern
Tool and seal joints, and provide weep screed or equivalent drainage at the base of the wall
Known gotchas
Skipping or under-lapping the WRB/flashing behind the lath is a leading cause of moisture problems behind stone veneer, even though it's hidden once finished
Mortar type and lath-embedment requirements have changed across guide editions — confirm the current edition's requirements rather than relying on an older printed copy
