ROCCO MASONS takes projects from ordinary to extraordinary. Our Masonry Design services, in-house architectural and ornamental stone carving, top quality installations, and highly respectable crew of Bricklayers and Stone Installers set us above the rest.

Our Stone Carver Ryan Watson was born in 1976, was raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and is proud of his prairie roots. He's a natural born artist in a trade that dates back to the beginning of civilization and uses the most modern tools to promote one of the oldest trades. Watson received a Diploma in Heritage and Traditional Masonry as well as Heritage Restoration, both from Ontario. From there he formed a Masonry company 20 years ago specializing in hand carved stone and restoration.

Our Stone Carver and Rocco Masons Founder, Ryan Watson stands proud with his latest carving out at Cathedral Bluffs, north of Saskatoon. This three piece Indiana limestone address marker was hand carved using traditional tools of trade, some dating back to the beginning of civilization. This three piece stone carving stands 3.5 feet tall at its forever home just outside of the gate of this gorgeous property. Check out the gallery below to see it's progress from beginning to end:

Our Stone Carver, Ryan Watson's next project is starting to take shape while our crew finishes up our House on Hastings project. Watson works diligently with the Owner/s of each project to come up with a unique and timeless design each and every time.  This 4 foot limestone address marker (gallery below) will soon find its forever home at Cathedral Bluffs.

Watson uses both a pneumatic hammer as well as a mallet and chisel to create all of his hand carved pieces. The pneumatic hammer dates back to 1880 and helps to speed up the process. The chisels used are the same, but the difference is that in the same amount of the time it takes the pneumatic hammer to produce 100 small strokes, the hand mallet produces around 10 strokes. Watson continues to use hand mallets when working on the more intricate areas of his carvings. Most of his carving tools predate the depression of 1929, most of which have the carvers names punched right into them from over 80 years ago!

Please enjoy the progression of this address carving in today's photo gallery. I also invite you to check out our YouTube channel.  There you'll see the stone chips and limestone dust flying while Watson brings each hand carved piece to life. CLICK HERE FOR OUR CARVING STUDIO and stay tuned to see this address carving through to installation.
