About Us

 

My first experience as a Mason came early in life. This is due mainly to the fact that my father was a Masonry Contractor. That year that i turned 17 dad decided it was time to start my Masonry apprenticeship. I had helped him many times in summers past, and had a small working knowledge of Brick & Stone. But it soon became apparent that i had a lot to learn from him. That first day dad told me that he was starting a  Stone Wall for a new customer, and we would be meeting with him to discuss the project. Dad felt that i should be their so i could hear what the client wanted to accomplish. This was my first lesson that dad taut me, always know what your customer is expecting of you and how to provide it. Next stop that day was the local Stone Supplier, to pick out the Stone that the customer had chosen. Dad pulled out several pieces of the Stone and checked them for color, grain and shape. The Stone Wall that we were building would be a Dry- Stack Stone Wall. Dad had a saying and you might have heard it before but it goes like this,  You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig. I think that this was his way of telling me to start with good material.

 

Since that first day many years have passed and i have become my dad, a Mason with a love of the Stone, the satisfaction of discovering each new stone while creating  Stone Fireplaces, Patios, Pathways or a Stone Wall, No other material can rival the beauty and grace that Stone brings to your home and Landscape. Stonework continues to fascinate me. Its appeal transcends all national borders, and educational backgrounds. A Stone Wall might be wanted by a house wife or a country farmer for vastly different reasons,  one might think of it as a place to grow flower, while the other might think of it as a place to hold a hillside. When building a Stone Wall it can be planned for, outlined or even diagrammed, but the best work seldom is. It come from an innate feeling that grows inside you, as You work and shape the Stone. There is a flow, or feel, to good Stone Masonry that you either you have or you don't, very often the mason himself cannot tell you how he achieved it. Stone is the ultimate material, there is a pride in masons that drives us to stretch our skills.
