About

A stone yard and a crew of twelve

We build walls, patios and steps on the Seacoast, and we keep the stone in our own yard on Lafayette Road. The people who walk your site are the people who build it.

Hugo Naranjo started the firm with a truck and a trailer. It is now twelve people: masons, laborers, a foreman and the office. Every job has a written scope, and every wall has a base below the frost.

  • The crew that visits is the crew that builds

  • Stone chosen at the yard, not from a catalog

  • A walkthrough before the final payment
