Custom Natural Stone Masonry

Natural stone has been used in construction for thousands of years because of its beauty, strength, and timeless appeal. When you choose natural stone for your property, you are investing in something unique that will last for generations. No two pieces of natural stone are exactly alike, which means your project will be one of a kind.

MFY Menifee Masonry specializes in custom natural stone work that showcases the material and your property beautifully. We work with a variety of natural stones including granite, limestone, sandstone, slate, flagstone, and river rock. Each type has its own character, color variations, and best uses. During your consultation, we help you select the right stone for your specific project and budget.

Working with natural stone requires specialized skills and experience. The irregular shapes and varying thicknesses mean every piece must be carefully selected and placed. We have masonry craftsmen who understand how to work with stone, choosing pieces that fit together naturally while creating strong, stable structures. This level of craftsmanship takes time and skill, but the results are worth it.

We also combine natural stone with other masonry elements like custom stone patios or brick accents to create truly custom designs. The key is understanding your vision and selecting materials that work together harmoniously.

Choosing the right natural stone involves considering appearance, durability, maintenance, and cost. Each type of stone has advantages that make it better suited for certain applications. Granite is incredibly hard and weather-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor applications and high-traffic areas. Limestone offers a softer, more uniform appearance with warm earth tones. Sandstone provides rustic texture and comes in beautiful reds, browns, and tans.

Flagstone is perfect for walkways and patio surfaces because of its naturally flat surfaces and slip-resistant texture. River rock creates a rounded, organic look that works beautifully in water features and decorative applications. Slate offers rich colors and a smooth finish that works well for both floors and wall cladding.

The color and texture variations within each piece of natural stone are what make it special. Some stones have dramatic veining and color shifts, while others are more subtle and uniform. We show you actual samples of the stone options so you can see exactly what your finished project will look like. We also explain the characteristics of each stone type including how it weathers, what maintenance it needs, and how colors may change over time.

Cost varies significantly between stone types and also depends on availability and where the stone is quarried. Local stones are typically more affordable than imported varieties. Thinner stone veneer costs less than full-thickness stone but still provides the authentic look and feel of natural stone. We help you find options that fit your budget while achieving the aesthetic you want.

Installation techniques matter just as much as stone selection. Natural stone must be properly supported, sealed, and maintained to perform well and look beautiful long-term. We use professional-grade setting materials and sealers designed specifically for natural stone. Proper drainage and waterproofing prevent moisture problems that can damage stone over time. Our installations are built to last, protecting your investment for decades.
