We now have access to some of the most beautiful lime stones, sand stones and granite options I've ever seen through a Northwest-based company that specializes in purveying stone from China. They can fabricate, texture and finish stone to ANY specification. The stone is very competitive with U.S. based stone and it is MUCH more CO2 friendly than concrete products. Call or email me for more information and photos. – Jun 18, 2010 at 2:34 pm

Question and answer
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Dry stone masonry requires THE MASON to be on-site and building with his apprentices. We don't subcontract our work out or leave the building solely to the apprentices or laborers. By virtue of what our trade is all about we are there from beginning-to-end.
Dry stone masonry is much more intensive, laborious, difficult and thought-provoking than most masonry projects that utilize mortar, because we have to begin, continue and finish the project differently in a way that entails the mass of stone and building pattern while adhering to the old rules to achieve aesthetic value.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I specialize in dry stone masonry, which is the construction of stone projects WITHOUT the use of mortar.
My trade is the oldest and most enduring building method in the world using the medium of stone. (Along with this specialty trade I offer a wide variety of ancillary services which helps you avoid the hassle of hiring other contractors and increased costs.)
Each project is designed and built from a combination of the clients' tastes, the site's characteristics and my knowledge of materials and techniques. I'm always willing to "push the envelope" and do something different.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. I enjoy the combination of subjective engineering and art that is required in this trade craft.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. 1) Why stone, when it's cheaper and quicker to use concrete products?
ANSWER: There is a time and place for concrete, but in most outdoor residential projects I can build a better, longer lasting, more unique and definitely more beautiful project with natural stone. Additionally, there's no "story" or "legacy" with concrete like there is with stone. Plus, masons like me are really interested in your story, background and the space because it helps us design something unique to your situation.
Every client I've had with natural stone projects we've developed a great relationship with.
2) What's more expensive? Concrete or Stone?
ANSWER: Stone... see above answer.
