Stone masonry Services in Auckland New Zealand

A stonemason uses stone or rock to build structures. Quite often the masons also known as bricklayers utilize mortar to secure the bricks or stones to each other, although there is a section of masonry that doesn’t use mortar. Another specialty, which is almost like sculpture is stone cutting. Common structures built by stonemasons include stone houses and stone walls – such as stone paths and the China’s Great Wall. The good thing about stone is that it is enduring, what you make may live even for hundreds of years.

Natural stone can also be used for other tasks other than building. Garden stones for instance can really add life to your garden decor. They are hand painted to differentiate them from one another. Their shapes vary because they are natural stone. You can paint the different designs using acrylic enamel paint then bake the stones to cure the paint. After baking, coat the stones using a few covering of outdoor varnish. This way they will endure the outside elements for more years to come.

Masons can design anything using natural stone for instance footpaths and rockeries.
