Living Stone Masons return to Asheville.

Hi Blog readers, we have a lot to catch up on and news to announce!  After a long Summer of  working in Cashiers, we have completed that major project and have started working on our scheduled projects in Asheville and Banner Elk.  This years' projects included major boulder walls, hardscaping, patios, sidewalks, chimney repairs and more.  Also travel!  Did I mention we love to travel?  Besides attending the annual Stone Foundation symposium in Maine, Josh and I will head to France in November to restore a retaining wall in a Provence olive grove.  Stay tuned for future posts about the Maine and France trips.


Also, we are seeking opportunities for winter work in warmer climates such as Chattanooga, Charlotte, Raleigh and beyond!


Please enjoy these photos from our latest projects.

Will stands below one of the massive retaining walls we built in Sapphire Valley this summer.

We designed the walls for this mountaintop site to support the house and create planting space.
Picture
Many of the boulders for this project came from the site and we had to use feathers and wedges to split them and create usable shapes and sizes.
Picture
This panorama gives you a feel for how steep and challenging the site was, requiring two excavators to stage and build this part of the project.
Picture
We used huge slabs of Crab Orchard stone to create this patio which required the construction of a 9' high wall.
Picture
Crab Orchard stair treads are a safe, consistent way to provide access to steep mountain homesites.

Layla enjoys the view!
