Main Product:
- Gibbston Schist, Landscaping, Free Standing Walls
We mainly use Gibston Valley Schist which is grey with quartz veins and natural orange/brown tones. Depending on the look the client after we can provide different coloured stone to get the desired look.
It has a silver/shimmery effect, and can be seen in abundance around the Queenstown area.
This schist lends itself well to the contemporary style project and when split down and trimmed it gives a stunning effect.
Schist styles
Tight Stack has no mortar showing between the joints. A very modern look
Mortar joint is 5 or 10mm joint between each stone, Creates a shadow to define each stone.
Bagged or Plastered joints of the stone work are pointed. White is a popular colour but there is a range that we can offer. Sample panels are a good way for the client to decide, Very popular style.
Dry stack is used mostly for retaining or free standing walls, gravity holds the stone in place and no concrete is used, great for landscaping.
Paving Stones are split by us or at the quarry and laid in concrete, Great for outdoor areas and entrances.
