Stone
Permanent strength starts underground
Stone that lasts begins with base prep: excavated subgrade, compacted aggregate, geotextile where needed, and footings sized for load and frost depth. We set drainage so water moves away, not through, then bond or interlock the core for stability. Courses are leveled as we build, and capstones are pitched to shed water. Joints are tooled tight and sealed where appropriate to prevent wicking and winter spalls. The outcome isn’t just pretty masonry—it’s a structure that resists heave, settling, and seasonal movement, staying straight and true for years.
Cohesive design that ties spaces together
We select natural or engineered stone to complement your siding, trim, and hardscape, then align joints and heights with fence rails, steps, or porch lines so everything reads intentional. Columns can carry lighting or access controls with conduits hidden inside the core. Low wing walls frame entries; mailbox piers echo house materials; stone bases transition cleanly into fence posts to prevent string-trimmer scars. The stone doesn’t fight the architecture, it extends it so your front walk, gate, and porch feel like one designed space instead of separate projects.
Everyday function with curb-appeal gains
Great stonework looks good and works hard. Low garden walls double as seating for gatherings; columns mount address numbers, cameras, or fixtures at the right height; short retaining segments tame slopes and reclaim usable lawn. Stone fence bases protect posts, reduce mulch splash, and create a crisp edge that stays crisp. All of that yields daily convenience and visible value—spaces that photograph better, entertain better, and appraise better. It’s the rare upgrade that improves first impressions and day-to-day living without adding a new maintenance chore.
