The way we work

One job.
Considered from the ground up.

Stone varies. So do sites. We make the choices visible before the work begins, then keep you involved when conditions change.

Start with what’s here.

A weathered wall may have good stone worth keeping. A patio needs enough room to pull out a chair. We begin with those ordinary details, then work out the build.

Cairnweft is a small masonry crew serving Maple Crossing, Millbrook and Alder Glen. The person walking the site with you also oversees the work, so the conversation carries through.

We agree on access, where materials will sit and how the work area will be left each day.

The sequence

From a rough idea to the final sweep.

  1. Walk & measure

    A $75 site visit covers access, approximate dimensions, existing materials and your priorities. The fee is credited if you accept the job.

  2. Put it in writing

    You receive the proposed scope, materials, price, payment stages and a likely work window. Permits or outside design work are identified here. No start date is fixed until the scope is accepted.

  3. Prepare & set

    We arrange delivery, prepare the base or joints and set the stone. If opening up the work reveals something different, we explain it and agree on a written change before carrying on.

  4. Walk it together

    We clear our work area and walk through the finished work with you. You receive care notes and the written one-year workmanship warranty for the agreed scope.

A useful first conversation.

Tell us which town you’re in, the kind of work and roughly how large the area is. Mention narrow gates, steps or other access limits. Site visits run Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm; we agree on a time before coming out.

We can talk through stone, access and the order of the work.
