Stonework & masonry, engineered for the Island.
Basalt walls, flagstone patios, and fire features, hand-laid to last.
Stonework & masonry, start to finish
Coastal rains, salt air, and freeze-thaw cycles can crack a poorly built hardscape in a single season. Our Parksville-based crew blends traditional dry-stack technique with modern engineering, creating retaining walls, patios, and steps that stand firm from Lantzville to Qualicum Beach.
What we build
- Engineered retaining walls (basalt, granite, split-face concrete)
- Flagstone or paver patios and walkways
- Outdoor fireplaces, fire bowls, and stone kitchens
- Stair treads, risers, and garden walls
- Natural boulder placement and rock gardens
- Drainage fabric, backfill, and geogrid reinforcement
How we do it
- 01 Plan the details Site survey, soil checks, 3-D hardscape layout, and a fixed quote.
- 02 Build the space Excavation, base prep, stone cutting and setting overseen by a dedicated project lead.
- 03 Enjoy the results Final walk-through, care guide, and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Materials & specifications
Vancouver Island basalt & Quadra sandstone
Low carbon footprint, natural colour variation.
Polymeric sand or tight dry-stack joints
Blocks weed growth, improves longevity.
Geogrid & perforated drain pipe
Relieves hydrostatic pressure behind walls.
High-temp fire-brick liners
Safe, crack-free outdoor fireplaces rated for repeated open flame.
Examples of Our Work
Recent builds from Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, and the surrounding corridor.
Dry-stacked stone, laid by hand along a sloped bank. 
A tall retaining wall going up, course by course. 
A stone fire pit built into a flagstone patio. 
A cut-stone compass rose set into brick paving. 
River-rock mosaic surround, built around a wood stove. 
Stone entry pillars framing a driveway gate. The Sharp Design rebuilt our collapsing garden wall with local basalt and added a flagstone terrace that feels like it has always belonged here. Two winters later, not a single stone has shifted.
