“I met Stewart through The Stone Trust and was fortunate to see him working a wall and was immediately impressed with his craftsmanship.  When I learned he lived near my mountain homestead I immediately wished to engage him in an ambitious wall project.  Right from the start I recognized his comprehensive, systematic approach.”
