Stonemasonry is the craft of shaping, cutting, and assembling natural or manufactured stone to create structures, walls, floors, and decorative features. It is one of the oldest construction trades, combining both artistry and technical skill. Stonemasons work with different types of stone, including granite, limestone, sandstone, and marble, to create durable and aesthetically pleasing results. Projects can range from residential and commercial buildings to landscaping, fireplaces, and heritage restorations. The craft requires knowledge of structural integrity, stone properties, and precision cutting, as well as the ability to blend traditional techniques with modern construction standards. Stonemasonry not only focuses on functionality but also on enhancing the beauty and value of a property. Choosing stone as a building material ensures durability, timeless elegance, and low maintenance compared to other materials like concrete or wood.
