If you have a home with a contemporary design and it has a fireplace, it may only be an insert with a metal surround if that. You can initiate a complete change to the room by using stone to create a hearth that is warm and inviting, taking the cold edge off that outdated modern-minimalist look.

Mortar began to be used in stone work sometime around 3000 b.c.e. The oldest known structure still in existence is in Iran at the Ziggurat of Sialk. The formula was the same through the centuries until Portland cement was invented in the 1820s.

Natural stone patios around a pool or adjacent to the home can make the most mundane areas a work of art. Our skills can help you create almost any ambiance, limited only by the imagination.

If you want to repair or restore a stone fireplace in your home, great care must be taken. Because of the heat that is generated, the stone and the mortar must be able to withstand it without deteriorating.

For a dramatic upgrade to your home, consider replace all or part of the siding with a stone veneer. With more color and design options than brick, it delivers a superior architectural look that is low maintenance.

If you are worried about damage from snow shoveling or plowing, put your fears at rest. Paving stones with beveled or chamfered edges keep shovels and plow edges from snagging and lifting them out of position.

The key element in the integrity of stonework is its construction. Properly constructed walls will shed water, resist root penetration from climbing plants, and last for hundreds of years.

Cavity walls consist of two separate stone walls with about a 2-inch air space between them, and are the solution to the problem of water penetration. Water that seeps inside the outer wall runs down that wall, while the inside wall remains dry.
