You can also remove the form stone. Most have brick underneath. Maybe cost more and there’s some cases the brick underneath not great condition.

This can be very expensive, and do note this is a project that's very likely to reveal another big project underneath, so be ready to drop a bunch of cash on it.

Though I do want to do it to my house, I'm gonna put it off for a number of decades because we don't have the standard formstone, ours is a different pattern so I don't mind it as much
