An Entrance Announces
the Home

Columns, gate features and carved name walls that set the tone before a guest ever steps inside.

01
Overview

Ten Seconds Decide Everything

Before a guest reaches the door, the entrance has already told them what the building is. Columns, gates and name walls carry that first impression — and because they're the piece every visitor passes closest to, they're also the piece that shows wear first if it isn't stone.

The Details

Four Ways We Build an Entrance

Every entrance project draws on some combination of these four elements.

Entrance Walls
01
Entrance Walls
Boundary and frontage walls that frame the approach to a property in the same material as the building itself.
Gate Features
02
Gate Features
Piers and gate surrounds built to take daily hardware use — hinges, latches, traffic — without loosening.
Columns

Columns
Load-bearing or decorative columns turned or CNC-carved to a matched profile across a full colonnade.
Name Walls

Name Walls
Hand- and CNC-carved lettering set into a stone plaque, finished for legibility from the street.
