As well as working in local materials, stone is imported
black granite from Africa, coloured granite and
marbles from Scandinavia and China, and, of course,
the world famous Carrara marble from Italy.

We produce monumental and architectural stone work including
churchwork, fireplaces, kitchen worktops,
bar counters, granite floors, bathroom fittings,
dry stone and garden walls and patios.

We specialize in design and also make to
customer specific requirements
Some examples of recent work are shown below
This is the Millennia clock in Ballon village. It is of unique design and the following explain its creation. The two vertical stones represent the two millenium periods married together and yet separate. The right hand section suggests the figure 2 and the three zeros can be picked up in the clock face, the fountain sphere and the logo. The sphere housing the fountain also represents the sun and the radial lines cut into the stone represent the rays of the sun. A Christian dimension is given in the left hand circle as the relative positions of the 2000 and the AD give the image on the Celtic Cross.
The facing stone and pillars are County Carlow granite and won an award for 'Best shop front in the South East'
The stone is imported Swedish granite know as Emerald Pearl.
This is an excellent example of a curved alter rail, steps and marble floors. The stonework is mainly Carrera marble from Italy with Onyx inlay and columns. Supplied and fitted by Carlow Stone Centre.
