Custom Natural Stone Masonry

Why Natural Stone Makes a Difference

Natural stone has been used in construction for thousands of years, and there is a good reason why. Each piece is unique, with colors and textures that cannot be duplicated. When you choose natural stone for your home or business, you are choosing materials that will look beautiful for generations.

At EGN Eugene Masonry, we specialize in custom natural stone work. We are not talking about the manufactured stone you see everywhere. We work with real limestone, sandstone, slate, granite, and basalt. These materials come from quarries and are cut and shaped by skilled craftspeople. The result is authentic stonework that adds character and value to your property.

Eugene homeowners appreciate natural materials that connect with the Pacific Northwest environment. Natural stone fits perfectly here. It handles our wet winters without deteriorating. It weathers beautifully over time, developing character rather than looking worn out. And it comes in colors and textures that complement Oregon's natural landscape.

Types of Natural Stone We Work With

Different stones have different looks and different uses. Here are the natural stones we commonly work with for Eugene projects:

• Limestone in warm cream and gray tones, perfect for elegant facades and entries
• Sandstone with rich earth tones and interesting texture variations
• Slate in blues, grays, and greens, great for walkways and outdoor features
• Granite that is incredibly durable and perfect for high-traffic areas
• Basalt with dramatic dark colors that work well in modern designs
• Flagstone in irregular shapes for natural-looking patios and pathways

Each type of stone has its own personality. We help you choose stones that match your vision and work well for your specific project. Some stones are better for walls, others for walkways or decorative accents. We consider how the stone will be used, what weather it will face, and how it will look with your home or building.

Custom Stone Projects We Create

Natural stone can be used in countless ways. Here are some of the custom projects we have built for Eugene homeowners and businesses:

Exterior Stone Features

Stone facades and accents transform ordinary buildings into architectural statements. We install natural stone on home exteriors, creating focal points around entries, on chimneys, or across entire walls. Stone columns, stone-wrapped posts, and stone water features add elegance and permanence to any property.

Stone Walls and Structures

Freestanding stone walls make beautiful property borders and privacy screens. Stone retaining walls handle grade changes while looking natural in the landscape. We build stone pillars for gates, stone mailbox surrounds, and stone planter boxes that become permanent landscape features.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Stone patios, stone walkways, and stone steps connect your outdoor spaces with lasting beauty. We create outdoor fireplaces and fire pits using natural stone that becomes the centerpiece of your backyard. Stone benches, stone tables, and other custom features make your outdoor areas truly special.

Interior Stone Work

Natural stone works beautifully indoors too. Stone fireplace surrounds, stone accent walls, and stone entryway floors bring the beauty of natural materials inside. We install stone countertops, stone backsplashes, and stone window sills that add character to kitchens and bathrooms.

Every project starts with your ideas. We listen to what you want, show you different stone options, and create a design that fits your property and budget. Then our skilled masons bring that design to life with careful attention to detail.
