Natural Stone, Natural Beauty

Stone masonry is a trade that has been utilised by human kind since the 1st

structures were created. It is a trade which has served in many functionsincluding construction, worship and even art.

With such a reliable source of conservation it is no wonder why so manyindividuals are choosing stone carving in art or especially building work.

The modern stonemason undergoes comprehensive training, both in theclassroom and in the working environment. Hands-on skill is complimented by

intimate knowledge of each stone type, its application and best uses, and how

to work and fix each stone in place. The mason may be skilled and competentto carry out one or all of the various branches of stonemasonry. In some areas

the trend is towards specialization, in other areas towards adaptability.

Stonemasons use all types of natural stone igneous , metamorphic andsedimentary ; while some also use artificial stone as well.

Here in Majorca stone walls are seen around the roads and countryside, used

as a means to prevent the soil being washed away in heavy rains, the hills ofthe west coast show the staggered effect used to help prevent the landslides

around the farmed areas.

As a decorative effect it is still reproduced in villas, fincas and garden walls to

keep tradition with the old style and custom.
