When distinctive stonework is essential to your home or project, Hillsgrove can make it a reality with commitment that matches your own.
Here amid centuries-old quarries in the Ossipee Mountains, we’ve gained deep expertise with cut granite, quarry stone, ledge and fieldstone. Our artisans learned their masonry technique the time-tested way – passed down from hand to hand, without compromise.
