Custom natural stone masonry work and craftsmanship in Berkeley, CA

The Timeless Appeal of Natural Stone

Natural stone has been used in construction for thousands of years. It is durable, beautiful, and completely unique. No two pieces of stone are exactly alike, which means your project will be one of a kind.

We work with granite, limestone, bluestone, flagstone, fieldstone, and other natural stones to create custom masonry features for homes and businesses in Berkeley. Whether you want a stone patio, a grand entrance, a fireplace surround, or decorative accents, we bring your vision to life with expert craftsmanship.

Natural stone adds value to your property. It is a premium material that buyers and visitors notice immediately. A stone feature says quality and permanence. It also requires very little maintenance compared to wood, composite materials, or other alternatives. Stone does not rot, warp, or fade. With proper installation, it will last for generations.

We take pride in working with natural stone. It requires skill, patience, and an eye for detail. Every stone needs to be carefully selected, shaped, and placed to create a cohesive and beautiful result. When you hire us, you get masons who treat your project like art. For more general masonry options, we also offer comprehensive masonry services for all your needs.

Types of Natural Stone We Work With

Choosing the right stone for your project depends on where it will be used, the look you want, and your budget. Here are the most popular types of natural stone we install:

Stone Options

  • Granite: Extremely hard and durable, ideal for high-traffic areas and countertops
  • Limestone: Soft and elegant, perfect for patios, pathways, and architectural details
  • Bluestone: Classic blue-gray color, popular for patios, steps, and pool decks
  • Flagstone: Flat stones in various colors, great for patios and walkways
  • Fieldstone: Rounded stones with rustic charm, excellent for walls and landscaping
  • Slate: Dense and weather-resistant, often used for patios and outdoor features

Each type of stone has its own character and benefits. Granite is incredibly strong and resists scratches and stains, making it perfect for outdoor kitchens and countertops. Limestone has a warm, inviting look that softens over time, giving it a classic aged appearance. Bluestone is known for its durability and slip-resistant surface, which makes it ideal for steps and pool areas.

We help you choose the best stone for your project. We consider the function, the location, and the overall design. We also source high-quality stone from trusted suppliers to ensure you get materials that will last. If you are interested in other outdoor features, we also provide custom stone and paver patios to complement your natural stone work.

Custom Stone Projects We Create

Natural stone can be used in countless ways. Here are some of the most popular custom stone projects we build:

Stone Patios and Outdoor Living Areas

A stone patio creates a beautiful space for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. We design patios that fit your yard and your lifestyle. We prepare the base, lay the stone in the pattern you choose, and finish the joints for a clean, professional look.

Stone Steps and Entrances

Front steps made from natural stone make a strong first impression. We build steps that are safe, durable, and elegant. Stone steps can be simple or grand, depending on your preference. We also install stone landings, platforms, and entry features.

Stone Walls and Landscaping Features

Stone walls add structure and beauty to your landscape. We build retaining walls, garden walls, and decorative stone features. Natural stone blends into the environment and creates a natural, organic look that complements any style of home.

Fireplaces and Outdoor Kitchens

Stone is the perfect material for outdoor fireplaces and kitchens. It can handle high heat and exposure to the elements. We use natural stone to create stunning fireplace surrounds, pizza ovens, and outdoor kitchen islands. If you are planning an outdoor cooking space, we also specialize in outdoor fireplaces and kitchens that combine function and beauty.
