The Beauty of Natural Stone
Natural stone has been used in construction for thousands of years because nothing else looks quite like it. Every piece is unique, with its own colors, textures, and character. When you choose natural stone for your masonry project, you're getting materials that were formed over millions of years and will last for generations.

Types of Natural Stone We Work With
Different stones have different characteristics, colors, and best uses. We help you choose the right type for your specific project.
Limestone
Limestone is a popular choice in Texas because it's locally available and works well in our climate. It comes in warm earth tones from cream to tan to gray. Limestone can be cut smooth for formal looks or left rough for rustic charm. It's excellent for walls, columns, and architectural details.
Flagstone
Flagstone is flat stone perfect for patios and walkways. It's typically sandstone or quartzite with natural color variations. Flagstone creates irregular, organic patterns that look natural and elegant. It's slip-resistant and comfortable to walk on barefoot.
Fieldstone
Fieldstone gives a rustic, old-world appearance. These rounded or irregular stones work beautifully for garden walls, columns, and fireplace surrounds. The varied shapes and sizes create interesting patterns and textures. Fieldstone is often used for projects where you want a natural, weathered look.
Granite
Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, making it extremely durable. It's available in many colors with distinctive crystalline patterns. Granite works well for countertops in outdoor kitchens, steps, and architectural accents where you need maximum durability.
Bluestone
Bluestone is a dense, fine-grained stone in shades of blue, gray, and purple. It's excellent for formal patios and pool decks because it stays relatively cool in the sun and resists fading. Bluestone can be cut to precise dimensions for clean, modern designs.
Each type of stone has its own installation requirements and characteristics. We match the stone type to your project's functional needs and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that look great and perform well over time.
Custom Stone Applications
Natural stone can transform almost any part of your property. We work with homeowners and businesses to create custom stone features that serve both functional and decorative purposes.
Exterior Features
Stone facades and accent walls give homes and buildings instant character. We install natural stone siding, columns, arches, and decorative elements that enhance curb appeal and architectural interest. Stone entries and porches create welcoming focal points that set your property apart.
Retaining walls, garden walls, and property walls built with natural stone are both functional and beautiful. They manage elevation changes, define spaces, and create structure in your landscaping. We design these walls to handle soil pressure properly while creating attractive outdoor boundaries.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Stone patios, walkways, and pool decks create outdoor rooms that feel like natural extensions of your home. We design layouts that work with your property's topography and your lifestyle needs. Stone fire pits and outdoor fireplaces become natural gathering spots that you'll use year-round.
Interior Applications
Natural stone works beautifully indoors for fireplace surrounds, accent walls, and floor treatments. It brings texture and natural beauty inside while creating distinctive focal points. Stone adds warmth and character that manufactured materials can't match.
Water Features
We build custom stone fountains, waterfalls, and pond surrounds that look like they've been there forever. Natural stone works perfectly with water features because it handles moisture well and creates organic, nature-inspired designs. These features add movement, sound, and visual interest to gardens and patios.
