I do a variety of custom stonework. Of course the ponds are a great example, but other projects include patios, walkways walls, fireplace refacing and repair. Stone lasts forever and is a great investment for your home. Here are some samples of my stone projects.

This is a fireplace makeover. The colors didn't show up well on the large photo but can be seen better in the last small photo. The fireplace originally ended right above the opening. The owner wanted it extended up the wall. The hearth was originally brick as well and I cut several large stones to fit, completing the stone makeover.

Next is a stone faced chimney that collapsed. I removed all of the loose stone and rebuilt it using ties this time and plenty of mortar between the rock and chimney. Click photos to enlarge.

Next is a stone patio just the right size for a table and grill.

The next set of photos is a job that was done years ago and has now naturalized. The slope was cut back and retainer wall installed, followed by the stone walkway, patio and benches around the trees.Dianna was working with me on this and we moved a total of 46,000 lbs. of block, stone and rock dust. The result was worth it.

This next photo is a faux boulder that I created using the same techniques as at zoos. I am currently working on a an entire wall and steps like this at my house.

| Faux boulder created on site! I can build any size boulder or rock formation on your property just like the boulders you have seen at zoos and aviaries. |

The remaining photos are of different patios built using paver brick, stone and paver blocks.

| Brick paver patio. I don't build brick structures, but I build patios with paver brick and repair brick structures. |

 |
| Another view of the patio. The steps and gate on the deck are my work as well. Whoever built the deck when the house was built did a shoddy job. I modified the structure to make it safer and to look better. The gate is for keeping the customers dog off the deck and her grandson in. |
