Stones of The Past
Join us on an exciting journey discovering boulders and stones across the New England Countryside.
Flint and Hammer Stone Discovery
We recently salvaged a pile of Flint in the woods of North Brookfield, MA. The stone is not likely native to the area and much is still a mystery about its origins. We hope to learn some traditional flint knapping techniques in the near future.
While we were stacking the flint from the ground into a wooden crate I came across this rounded stone. I put it in my back pocket with the thought that it might be an unsplit piece of flint. When getting back to the office we began handling the stone and realized its ergonomic shape was not likely a natural formation but rather shaped by mans hand.

Reclaimed Granite Curbing
Reclaimed granite curbing was used for the patio and fire pit. Salvaged bluetone veneer was used to accent the fire pit surround. This material was installed on a properly prepared gravel base and finished with a stabilizing sand to fill the joints.
We have hundreds of square feet of material in a variety of colors. Contact us today for pricing!

New England Fieldstone
We have a huge inventory of New England Fieldstone. Our stone is carefully salvaged from local barns, homes and walls that are being demolished.
This project was completed using our New England Flagging and Slab Stock.
Contact us if you are interested in any New England Fieldstone materials.
Salvaged Granite Stock
This granite is a unique color with square faces and sharp corners. This stone was once quarried for the developing construction of the railroad bridges across New England.
We are sorting the stones by size and doing loose and palletized loads of material. We can custom fabricate the stock finishing it to your specs for any job!
This stone is heavily weathered and we are carefully handling it to your home.
Cobbles and small wall stone are the most prevalent and packaged in 3000lb pallets and 20 ton containers.
Large patches of moss and lichen cover the stones from decades of weathering and exposure.
New England Fieldstone Flats
We recently took a load of New England Flat Fieldstone in our Charlton yard. These pallets are gorgeous and great for capping and flagging applications as well as traditional walls.
The supply of this stone is always limited. Contact us today for pricing and availability.
Rev Abiel Williams Home in Dudley, MA
A friend of ours recently acquired this historic property in Dudley, MA. Years of neglect will require it to be dismantled . Each piece of wood and stone will be repurposed and brought to our Charlton, MA yard.
Please contact us if you are interested in any of the stone or wood materials from this 1780’s federal style home.

East Brookfield Train Station

We have all of the stone in Charlton, MA and can provide sizing for restoration projects.
Cranston Print Works – Webster, MA
We were able to salvage hundreds of bluestone and granite window sills from the Cranston Print Works deconstruction project.
This mill property was located in Webster, MA for over 100 years. The bluestone is hand pitched and finished. The granite is a beautiful salmon tone.
Worcester State Hospital Granite
We have hundreds of tons of reclaimed granite veneer from the Worcester State Hospital deconstruction project.
Window lintels and sills were carefully salvaged and are stored in Charlton, MA. They would make ideal fireplace surrounds or reused as a lintel or sill. We can custom size any stone for your specific installation.

Pallas Athena – Long Island, NY
Reclaimed granite stepping stones lead the visitor towards a hand split granite post. The post is engraved with Pallas Athena, an excerpt from Poe’s work “The Raven”.
Stone Circle – Long Island , New York
This granite well stone was salvaged in Barre, Ma. It now sits on Long Island, NY. The engraving’s translation is ” everything changes…nothing perishes” .
Located in the center, below the stone, is a hand chisels granite basin to hold water. The reflection is a great compliment to the design.
Cenotaph
A good friend of mine designed this beautiful landscape. I was fortunate enough to be able to be part.
We supplied four hand split posts, a granite bench, a wellstone, granite stepping stones, granite keystones and a hand carved granite basin.
Many of the stones were engraved as well. There will be plenty of photos to come!

The Stone Turtle?
This treasure was unearthed while hiking. Is it a butterfly or a turtle? Either way it appears to be similar to other effigies in New England. I like to envision Big Panther reflecting on his ancestors while visiting the Colonel. Other standing stones and boulders mark the landscape.
Lelandville – Charlton, Ma
This is a great example of a colonial factory and mill. The foundation is still intact although heavily deteriorated in sections. It is along the beginning of the Little River between Charlton Reservoir and Pier Point in Dudley, Ma. There is quite alot of history to this area including old and forgotten quarries.
The photos below show a locally quarried granite. The material was split within 1/2 mile of the property. Millstones and other unique elements adorn adjacent properties. Our inventory includes large blocks of stone that would install very similarly. Please contact us today if you are interested in having authentic looking stone for your landscape or masonry project.
A Special Stone Circle
