The process begins in the quarry. It's here that raw, unprocessed stone is extracted from the earth. These quarries are more than just big pits in the ground; they are carefully chosen sites with high-quality stone deposits. At J&S Outdoor Living, we source our stone from quarries that provide an array of textures and colors to meet your outdoor living project’s specific aesthetic goals. The extraction process involves precise cutting, which ensures that we gather large, even pieces of stone ready to be transformed.
Once extracted, these substantial chunks of stone require further processing. This step is crucial as it determines the stone's final appearance and texture. Typically, the raw stone is transported to a processing facility where it's cut into slabs or blocks. These facilities use advanced machinery and tools, like saws and polishers, to ensure each piece meets rigorous standards of quality and durability. This stage is essential for achieving the clean lines and smooth surfaces that define elegant stone masonry.
Transportation of the processed stone to our construction site marks the next phase of its journey. It's here that J&S Outdoor Living’s skilled craftsmen take over. Our experts consider the architecture of your home, the landscape, and your personal style preferences to create a design tailored specifically for you. Whether it's a rustic outdoor fireplace or a sleek, modern patio, the precise cutting and fitting of stone ensure a perfect match to your vision.
Installation is both an art and science. As the stones are positioned and secured into place, our team ensures each piece fits seamlessly into the overall design. The meticulous attention to detail involved in mortar application and contour fitting guarantees both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. This is where the skill and experience of our masons truly shine, transforming a stack of stones into functional and beautiful outdoor living spaces.
The final phase of the stone’s journey is the finishing touches. This includes sealing the stone to protect it from elements, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance. A quality sealant resists water, weather, and wear, which retains the stone's natural beauty for years. Finally, our team will offer guidance on care and maintenance, ensuring your custom outdoor area remains a beloved part of your home.
