The Timeless Appeal of Stone

Enhance Your Home with Natural Stone Features

Freemasonry has its origins in the Middle Ages, when it was widely considered to be one of the highest forms of art. Today, stonework has experienced a surge in popularity as homeowners have discovered the advantages of stone patios, terraces and walkways. Natural stone’s durability, elegance and versatility makes it an ideal choice for your home.

For more than 20 years, Esposito Masonry has specialized in superior stone projects throughout the Brandywine Valley. The Esposito family hails from Naples and have been master stonemasons for generations.

They offer the following tips to make the most of your next stone project:

Small Steps, Big Changes

Natural stone can make a big difference in smaller applications such as decorative driveways, curving walkways, spas and waterfalls. These kinds of touches help break up a bland landscape and add charm to a property. Consider iconic Pennsylvania bluestone steps or a peaceful rock garden. You will be surprised how much beauty they add to your property.

Evaluate Your Needs

Before contacting a professional mason, consider your lifestyle. Do you want to entertain guests in an outdoor room or add visual appeal to your property? It’s important to decide how you’d like to enhance your home before meeting with a design firm. You can also use stone to enhance patios, walkways, decorative walls, pool decks and driveways.

Obtain Estimates

Once you’re ready to begin, schedule an initial consultation with an experienced masonry company. A designer will listen to your ideas and present you with a comprehensive plan that meets your needs while working within your property constraints and budget.

Choose the Right Firm

The quality of your stonework will only be as good as the company that installs it. Every masonry project is a custom job, so it is necessary to find an experienced firm with a strong portfolio and history of customer satisfaction. A skilled company will demonstrate their expertise by offering up a list of credentials and professional certifications. Most importantly, they will back their services with a solid warranty so you can be sure the work you are getting will last for decades.

Enjoy Your Revived Backyard

Entertain guests on an elegant flagstone patio, enjoy a warm autumn evening next to an outdoor fireplace, or spotlight a custom pool with a striking wall. With natural stone, the options are endless.
