New World Stone Works--Can you say jig-saw puzzle ? This may be an architect's dream come true. This company can take natural stone from just about any quarry and pre cut it into exact shapes and provide a master plan that shows where each stone goes by number. Imagine the ability to design stone walls, fireplaces, exteriors, property walls, stone by stone and know that the materials would be delivered to your job colormatched and pre-cut. New Worls Stone Works says that there is no waste and no dust at the job site from their product's installation since all the cutting has been done ahead of time by their super-sonic water-jet. It is a patented system that moves water mixed with sand at three times the speed of sound. They define details from the stone type, color range and pattern to the width of mortar joints and edge finish. If you have a photograph of a stonework style or historic work you want to match, they scan the photo and replicate the look for your job. They can control the amount of grout you want. New Age Stone Works can even control the degree of surface weathering. When you walk onto a jobsite using New World Stoneworks you won’t see piles of rubble, heaps of scrap, clouds of dust from noisy diamond blades or many of the other things you would normally expect to see with natural stone construction. . www.newworldstoneworks.com
