Home & Garden
"Within the rock lies hidden energies and forms, waiting to be exposed."
Pasquale Pilato has been crafting stone since an early age. He has inherited techniques and design through experience and unique interpretation. In Pasquale’s words:
“New England stone is revered around the world. This reverence is where the process starts. Granite is found in so many forms and places that we rarely reflect on its marvel. Within the rock lies hidden energies and forms, waiting to be exposed.
This ancient premise can be linked to most all of history’s greater civilizations. At times the process can be as simple as presenting a stone in the proper context in a new environment. Other times it may require a mutual respect of the piece combined with the use of modern technologies. The end result can often be a surprising display of geology while achieving a forward but soothing presence.”
Carved Stone Birdbaths
In addition to adding a solid focal point to your garden, a birdbath truly welcomes birds and other wildlife to your home. We never get tired of seeing an adorable sparrow bathing in a bath basin, fluffing its feathers or a pair of robins carefully stopping for a drink. The water and the birds’ movement make an ideal moment of zen.
Natural Wood and Stone Benches
Sculpted by hand and personalized, our natural stone benches are attractive landscape features. And, of course, they provide seating!
Landscape Sculptures and Features
For the love of earth’s geological beauty, we offer granite, marble, and masonry landscape features. We particularly enjoy seeing how the life of the landscape and gardens change and how the stone work and sculpture interacts with the land during different seasons.

Fountains
Water flowing over stone produces multiple sensory pleasures. You can see it, touch it, hear it. These sensory delights are built into our fountain sculptures and water features.
Stone Sinks
A hand-carved stone sink brings functional art to your home or garden. We produce granite slab sinks to introduce a clean, natural outdoor element into your bathroom or kitchen. On a patio, a stone carved cooler and serving table provide an elegant display setting for your next gathering. These fixtures are handmade and can be custom designed to fit with your home’s aesthetic or chosen from our current selection of available items.
