Design
At Living Stone Masonry, we offer free design work with our projects. As stonemasons, we understand the characteristics of stone structures, and we listen to our clients' needs and wants and look for the unique design opportunities in every situation.
Dry Stone Work

Engineered drystone retaining wall, Linville Ridge, NC.
One of our specialties is dry stone walls, patios, steps, and walkways. We build these features without mortar to harmonize with the environment and endure for a lifetime. We have the most DSWA (Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain) certifications of any company in North Carolina. We are trained by the world's top Dry Stone Wallers to provide our customers with professional, efficient, and beautiful drystone structures. Ask me about the DSWA and why their certification matters!
Mortared Stone Work
We also specialize in both full and lightweight mortared stonework, including walls, fireplaces, chimneys, foundations and flagstone. We strive to provide the finest quality, taking care to closely fit each stone while providing structural design elements such as arches. We offer a variety of options to accommodate any budget.
Restoration

Chimney repair and pouring new cement cap Boone NC.
While good stonework is meant to last for centuries, sometimes maintenance is required. We offer a full restoration service, from minor chimney repairs to whole house re-pointing. Our philosophy is to bring new life to structures while preserving as much as possible. Because the stone is often reusable, an old wall can be restored at a fraction of the cost of building a new wall. Another aspect of our work is historical preservation, using mortars that are appropriate for older structures to preserve them for the next generation. We offer this service for older brick and stone structures.
Tile
We also provide natural stone tile installation, including custom showers, backsplashes, and floors.
Letter Carving
We offer hand carved letters or numbers in a variety of stones. Modern lettering in stone is done with a sandblaster that gouges out the letters, but we we use traditional hammer and chisel to cut "V" shaped letters that have a timeless appeal.
Hardscape/ Boulders/Water Features
We provide a variety of hardscape services in addition to our masonry walls, patios, and walkways. We construct rock gardens, dry streambeds, boulder walls, sculptural boulder placements, and water features. We have access to local boulders and heavy equipment, and boulder walls can be more cost-effective than stacked stone walls.
