There are many ways a mason can lay stone. We have compiled an example section for the different types of stonework we perform.

Veneer StoneVeneer – thin stone commonly used for facing block foundations, shows mortar, available for most applications where block has already been laid.  This type of stonework is one of the most common stone applications.    






Building StoneBuilding Stone- Thick stone, 6 inches and thicker, shows mortar. Passed down through the ages, this timeless stone application is used primarily in retaining walls, fireplaces, chimneys, columns, and exteriors of homes.


 

 

 

Dry Stacked StoneDry Stack- All size stone cut to match, does not show mortar. A labor intensive process, dry stack is used in higher end projects. Perfect for Residential and Commercial applications. Dry Stack looks great on retaining walls, fireplaces, columns, exteriors of homes, chimneys, mailboxes, subdivision signs, and more.






Custom Dry StackedCustom Dry Stack- A TaylorStonework variation of the dry stack technique utilizing different sizes and types of stone. Unique patterns and a truly one of a kind appearance are trademarks of this style of stonework. Great for foundations, columns, fireplaces, mailboxes, gated entrances and more. 

 

 

 

 

 

Patio/Walkway- Flat surfaces easy to walk on, ideal for transitions from driveway to front door or to a main entrance. Also, its a great application for entertaining areas.
