Custom Natural Stone Masonry

Natural stone has been used in construction for thousands of years because it combines beauty, durability, and versatility in ways that no manufactured material can match. Each stone is unique with its own colors, textures, and character. When you choose natural stone for your property, you are adding something that will look beautiful for generations and actually increase in value as it ages.

Working with natural stone requires specialized skills that go beyond basic masonry. Every stone is different, so a skilled mason needs to select, cut, and place each piece to create a cohesive design that looks natural and functions properly. This artisan approach takes more time than working with uniform materials, but the results are worth it. You get something truly custom that reflects your taste and enhances your property in a way that cookie-cutter solutions never could.

We have been creating custom natural stone features for Greeley homeowners and businesses for years. Our masons understand stone properties, traditional techniques, and modern installation methods. Whether you want a dramatic stone fireplace, an elegant facade, or a rustic garden wall, we bring your vision to life with craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Different types of natural stone offer different looks and characteristics. Choosing the right stone depends on where you are using it, what style you want, and your budget. Here are the most popular natural stones we install:

• Flagstone for patios and walkways, available in earthy tones with natural texture and slip resistance
• River rock and fieldstone for rustic walls, fireplaces, and natural-looking landscaping features
• Limestone with its smooth texture and light colors, perfect for elegant facades and formal designs
• Sandstone offering warm colors and easy workability for detailed stonework and carvings
• Granite for its exceptional durability and dramatic appearance in high-traffic or high-impact areas
• Slate with its distinctive layered appearance and rich color variations for walls and accent features

Each stone type has different properties for durability, weather resistance, and maintenance requirements. We help you choose stone that matches your aesthetic goals while meeting the practical demands of your project. We source high-quality natural stone from trusted suppliers and can show you samples to help you visualize the finished result.

Natural stone works beautifully in countless applications around your home or business. Stone facades transform plain walls into architectural statements. A stone accent wall inside your home creates a stunning focal point. Stone columns and pillars add classical elegance to entryways and porches. For outdoor living spaces, stone is unbeatable. Stone patios provide durable, attractive surfaces that handle weather and heavy use while looking better with age.

Stone fireplaces, both indoor and outdoor, create warmth and ambiance that manufactured materials cannot replicate. The natural texture and color variation make each fireplace unique. Stone steps and entryways welcome visitors with solid, permanent beauty. Garden walls, seat walls, and decorative borders define spaces and add structure to landscaping. Water features like fountains and ponds look natural and serene when built with carefully selected stone.

We also create custom stone features like outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, mailbox surrounds, house number displays, and decorative pillars. If you can imagine it, we can probably build it in stone. The design process starts with understanding your vision and your space. We discuss style preferences, look at examples, and create a plan that fits your property and budget. Then our skilled masons bring that plan to life with attention to every detail. Many clients combine natural stone with other masonry work like brick or stone steps for a cohesive look.

Custom natural stone projects require careful planning and skilled execution. We start by measuring your space and creating a detailed design. For complex projects, we may create drawings or digital renderings so you can see what the finished work will look like. Once you approve the design and estimate, we order materials and schedule the work.

Installation begins with proper foundation and structural preparation. Natural stone is heavy, so the supporting structure must be solid and correctly built. We take time to sort through stone, selecting pieces that fit together naturally and create the pattern we want. Each stone is carefully placed, cut as needed, and secured with appropriate mortar or setting materials. The process cannot be rushed without compromising quality.

Timeline varies based on project size and complexity. A small stone accent wall might take a few days, while a complete stone facade or large outdoor living space could take several weeks. Weather affects natural stone installation because mortar needs proper conditions to cure. We schedule projects to maximize good weather and minimize delays. The extra time required for quality stonework is worth it when you see the finished result. You end up with a permanent feature that adds beauty and value to your property for decades to come.
