How we set stone

Natural stone does not forgive a bad fit. Every piece has to be cut and fitted to the pieces around it. We plan the joints and work out the load and the drainage behind the wall before the first stone is cut.

We work in full-bed natural stone (Indiana limestone, Kentucky fieldstone, flagstone), thin-cut veneer for retrofits, and dry-stacked walls when the architecture calls for it.

Stone applications

  • Stone fireplace surrounds (interior and exterior)
  • Full-height stone facades and accent walls

  • Dry-stacked garden walls and terracing

“We interviewed four contractors for our stone veneer front elevation. Adriel’s team was the most knowledgeable by a mile. He explained the difference between real stone and manufactured veneer in plain English and let us decide. The finished façade is gorgeous. Three neighbors have asked who we used.”
