The craft of stonemasonry has existed since the dawn of civilization.
Stonemasonry involves the repair, restoration and conservation of existing natural stone buildings. Stonemasonry also includes design and construction of new masonry structures.
Stonemasonry utilizes a variety of stone types found in different regions of the world, such as limestone, sandstone and granite. True artisans will often include a range of decorative features and intricate carved detail in their stone masonry projects.
Consider stone as an alternative to brick or wood. Using natural local stone reflects your geographical area and demonstrates your pride of place. Imported stone can lend an exotic air to a stone masonry project, embracing the concept of the “global village” we live in today.
