Why is base so important?
It’s all about that base! I can’t stress this enough. The native soil in our region absorbs water, which has a detrimental impact on stone work. During the freeze and thaw cycle, the saturated soil will expand and contract, also know as heaving. This results in a once beautiful, level patio turning into a jumbled mess.
A compacted 6 inch granular base is necessary for adequate drainage, and will provide a solid base for the stonework above. All Stone Man projects include a proper base.
What size of work crew do you have?
I typically work with a very small crew, doing the majority of the skilled work myself. This enables me to ensure the highest quality and workmanship for your project.
Are you insured?
Yes, I carry liability insurance, and I my WSIB is fully up to date.
What is the difference between natural and manufactured stone?
I work with a wide range of natural stone. These are stones that occur naturally, and have been harvested from the Earth. Examples are Armour stone and Flagstone.
Manufactred stone can imitate the look of natural stone or be made as modular, square units that come in all shapes and sizes.
