What I Do

As a freelance stone dresser, I specialize in working with natural stone to create beautiful architectural elements.

My services include backing off and redressing reclaimed stone to give it a refined, finished look.

I am skilled at hand-punching stones to create a rustic texture as well as dressing sawn stones into smooth blocks for walling.

Other specialties include cutting quoins, triangular coping stones, and half round decorative pieces.

I excel at precisely coursing stone walls, setting each stone at exact quarter-inch increments.

My eye for detail and craftsmanship transforms simple stone into striking and durable building accents.

What My Clients Say

    Private Client

    Adam came recommended to us to dress reclaimed stone from barns we were renovating. He backed off all stone to required bed as well as dressing stone to make reclaimed quoins. Always came when he said and got the work done efficiently to a very high standard. Top class craftsman, would highly recommend.

      Adam first arrived on the stone scene as a labourer when he was around 16, but he would grab the hammer and chisel at every opportunity to learn the stone dressing trade as he new that was his calling. Adam spent the next 25 years or so moulding himself into one of the best stone dressers around. He’s very meticulous and for him attention to detail is a mandatory requirement. If stone dressing was hair dressing then he’d be Vidal Sassoon. It’s been a pleasure working with Adam for many of those years…
