Timeless stonework for homeowners who value real stone, built right. No fleeting trends, just honest craftsmanship. I build rustic, natural features that settle deeply into your property, weather richly, and look like they have always belonged there.

I have dedicated my career to doing this work. I am proud to be one of only four Advanced Certified Craftsmen in Canada, certified by the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain, as well as a Certified Landscape Technician through Landscape Ontario.
With over a dozen industry awards and more than a thousand tons of natural stone placed, if you can imagine it, I have the expertise to build it. Every wall I have ever built still has my name on it, which is the only quality control that has ever really mattered.

Tons of Stone Placed
If you can imagine it, I have the experience to build it.
Six ways of working the same material. Most projects end up being two or three of them together.
Built without mortar, held by gravity and friction. Retaining walls, freestanding boundaries and garden structures engineered to move with the land.
Natural stone cut and set to become the ground beneath your feet, from garden pathways to courtyards and gathering spaces.
The transition between levels sets the tone for everything around it. Square-cut slabs, irregular slabs or coursed dry-laid, built for comfort.
Mass placed with intention. Armourstone for serious grade changes, weathered granite and mossy limestone for natural character.
Pillars, arches, standing stones, water features, fire pits, foundation ruins and stone-mounted lettering, built one of a kind.
Garden planting and lighting that nestle the stonework into its surroundings until it feels like the landscape grew around it.
Something here that isn't on the list? It has probably been built in stone before.
View All ServicesEvery project starts as a slope, a boundary or a bare patch of ground. This is what real stone does to a property.
The best measure of the work is whether the people who lived through the build would put their name to it afterwards.
Kevin made it really easy to trust his judgment and experience. He always answered our many questions — even the ones we worried were silly. We felt comfortable and in the know the whole way through. And in the end, it looks so great. We can't wait to get out there and enjoy it.
The result was far beyond our expectation. Kevin was approachable, always open to questions and touched base daily to let us know how things were going. We practically lived in the backyard last summer and we can't wait to get back out there.
Three stages, one person through all of them. You never get handed off to someone who wasn't part of the conversation.
I visit your property, walk the site and take the time to understand how you want to live in your outdoor space. No obligation, no hard sell, just an honest conversation.
Clear options, straight talk about materials and approach, and full transparency on cost, backed by a no cost-overrun guarantee. You'll know exactly what you're getting.
I build your stonework with the care, skill and patience the craft demands. The result is a landscape that feels like it was always meant to be there.
Based in Grey Highlands and building across the Georgian Bay shore, the Beaver Valley, Simcoe and Dufferin counties, and down into the GTA. If your property is a drive away, it is still worth the conversation.
A wall built without mortar, held together by gravity, friction and the judgement of the person placing each stone. Every stone is chosen so its weight locks the stones around it. Done properly it outlasts a mortared wall, because there is no mortar in it to fail.
No obligation, no hard sell. Just an honest conversation about your property and what's possible. When the work is done, you'll see exactly what you envisioned, and your friends will ask you who did it.
