STONE

Specializing in the craft of traditional dry stone walling

Built without mortar, dry stone walls are found in abundance throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. These structures define fields and properties, retain slopes, support bridges, and much more. They are functional and beautiful and are a continuing part of our local and regional history. It is our honor to work on these walls to preserve and/or build them so that they last for many years to come.
