The choice of stone is fundamental to the success of any stonemasonry project. Not only are there practical constraints on which type of stone may be most suitable for the project at hand but it is vital that the stone you choose blends with the property’s surroundings and any existing stonework that may be present.

At Conroy Stonework, we are happy to advise on the most suitable stone for your project and can assist in sourcing that stone whether it be local to you or from further afield. We specialize in stonemasonry projects in Wicklow, Dublin, Kildare and Galway.

Granite stonework

A hard wearing, igneous rock with a rugged texture commonly found on the West Coast of Ireland, Co. Wicklow and Co. Dublin. 
Available in shades of grey / white, cream, brown and pink, this stone is ideal for stone cladding, constructing retaining walls and hard landscaping.  

Limestone stonework

A softer, more easily worked stone, this sedimentary rock is commonly found in Ireland's Midlands. Available in shades of grey, black, blue and brown, this stone is ideal for stone cladding and for use in hard landscaping and the construction of garden features.  

sandstone stonework

A comparatively soft stone, this sedimentary rock is easy to work and available in warm hues of cream and brown. This stone can be used for most stonework but is particularly ideal for interior features such as stone fireplaces and feature walls.
