Design and Engineering
We provide each client with a personal, custom-designed product. We can either work with an existing design or help turn your ideas into a proper design for your project.
Our design team is led by a Landscape Architect and a Certified Landscape Designer who understand that many factors play into a successful design, including the surrounding natural features, existing contours, and building structures.
We provide you with a choice of any type of natural stone and desired finish. For those clients who have difficulty visualizing specific stone styles or finishes, we offer full-size wall samples so that you can examine your possibilities prior to making any important decisions.
Engineering requirements such as drainage, footings and lighting are also addressed prior to construction and can be adjusted to each specific project.
Construction and Installation
We use 100% natural bulk field or quarry stone.
Skilled masons hand select each stone that goes into building your wall to ensure highest quality and a uniform look both in stone size and proportions.
Installation of our walls is a very exciting part of the project. Our highly trained crews use specialized equipment to deliver and install your walls seamlessly in just days.
This ability to install NSWS® walls in such short timeframes limits the issues of conventional construction aggravation.
- Truck and crew traffic are reduced significantly
- Onsite material dumping is eliminated
- Damage to existing landscape is drastically reduced
- Cleanup is a breeze
- The hassles of a large construction process are almost eliminated
Products
NSWS® wall and stone types are customized for each project. A few representative and popular stone types are described below. (Any other custom stone types are available upon request.)

Corinthian Granite
An elegant, enduring, medium to coarse grained granite offers a darker hue and a more square or split style.

American Granite
A medium to coarse-grain weathered granite is reminiscent of European architecture with its antique mortared look.
