Commissioning stone work
A straight account of what a commission requires: photos, a call, a site visit, sourcing, and enough lead time to do the work correctly.
Most projects begin with a short description and a few photographs of the site. Those images help more than most people expect because they make access, grade, existing material, and drainage legible before a visit.
The visit is non-negotiable for quoting. A wall that has not been stood next to is too easy to misunderstand.
The practice works in dry stone only: no mortar, no veneer, no cement cap pretending to be part of the same tradition. Decorative-first projects are usually a poor fit for the same reason.
Good dry stone work takes time to source, schedule, and build correctly. Lead time is part of the quality, not a delay added to it.
