Decorative & Natural Stone in Indianapolis, IN
Quarried Indiana limestone and natural stone for walls, accents, and features.
The problem, explained
Indiana is the source of most of the architectural limestone used in the United States, quarried in the belt south of Indianapolis. Natural stone is the most durable masonry material available in this market, and it is the right choice for features meant to outlast the building. Working with it is a different skill than working with brick — the material, the joints, and the setting all change.

What it costs to think about
Natural stone work is priced by the square footage, the stone type and source, the cutting and fitting required, and the substrate preparation. Indiana limestone is available locally, which helps on cost. We give a written estimate after seeing the scope.
We don't publish price lists because the scope varies too much from job to job. The honest number comes from seeing your wall, your chimney, or your site in person. Read more about how masonry work is priced in Indianapolis.
