“THE FINAL PRODUCT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY!”

We’re thrilled when a client tells us how happy they are with our stone products and service! The customer, Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders, is one of the finest custom home builders in San Fransisco, California. In this situation, there were two types of material; French Limestone exterior paving in ‘Giverny’ and authentic, reclaimed Historic European Cobblestone.They also took advantage of an important service we provide – stone installation consultation. Our knowledge and understanding of stone installation go back to our roots in the industry as a masonry contractor. It’s an important and defining aspect of our company, one that separates Monarch Stone International from other stone suppliers. We truly enjoy providing consultation whether for cobblestone, landscape or architectural stone – because there’s nothing more gratifying than a satisfied client and our material in an installation that has been well executed!

This San Francisco residence’s exceptional design created by landscape architect, Blasen Landscape Architecture included an exterior with both antique reclaimed cobblestone and French limestone paving in Giverny, aka Dalle de France, which our company also supplied. The installation company, Stone Etc., and their capable crew produced the beautiful end result.

The project called for 3,500 SF of antique sandstone cobblestone in the smallest size; known as cubes or mosaic. The 2.5″ to 3.5″ cubes reclaimed from European streets, were originally set in either a fan or an arc pattern. To strive for the best replication of this classic pattern, co-owner Anthony Van Liefde assisted the installation company on the job. In addition, the design required a stone curb which was custom fabricated from the same historic quarry that the original 100 + year old European cobblestones came from! The photo below shows the natural colors of the new stone curb complementing the antique cobbles perfectly.

“We used Monarch Stone Int’l  to supply 3500 SF of Historic European Cobblestone for a project in San Francisco. We worked closely with Anthony Van Liefde to source beautifully aged cobble that lined our clients driveway in a carefully designed arc pattern. Anthony was very involved from the procurement process through to assisting our installers with final installation and consulting on final maintenance suggestions. He continued to be involved through to the very end and the final product turned out beautifully!”
