stone masons can design unique and geometric shapes and structures from our stone, to adorn gardens, buildings, walls or other areas.
So please give us a call and we will recommend types of stone, different features to compliment your projects. We can also recommend skilled stone masons who have been crafting our

The above is an image of Clócha na hÉireann ( Stones of Ireland ) a collaborative 1916 commemoration work between stone masons from every corner of Ireland. It stands 5 metres high and is testament to the quality of our stone which some of the most skilled and experienced stone masons in Ireland chose to form their contribution to this project, which is proudly displayed in Glencolmcille, Co. Donegal.
The Timekeeper Project
Drogheda, Co. Louth
Drimkeelan Sandstone Quarry supplied stone to the "timkeeper project" which was a depiction of the transition of time through stone, meant to reflect the transition from the origins of the previous school to the new school on the site where it was built, another of the innumerable public projects in which sandstone is used.
Again the ease with which sandstone blends with most surroundings is evident in the splendour of this amazing project.
