Most of the earths limstone emerges from extremely rocky areas and islands.  Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily made up of mineral calcite.  Limestone is a relevant stone for masonry and architecture, as well as the main ingredient in mortar, cement and concrete.  Limestone is readily available, affordable and long-lasting.  It comes in a variety of sizes, and stands up well to exposure.  This stone is very common in architecture and is frequently used on many buildings and structures today.  At Stone Tech Designs we work predominatly on residential housing.  Our company generally uses limestone treads to finish the tops of masonry stairways, retaining walls and platforms.  Limestone is also available in a flat stone that comes in various different shapes.  This stone is called limestone flagging and can be an intriguing option when deciding what to pave your walkways and platforms with.  Please contact us by email at mike@stonetechmasonry.com or call us at (516) 764-4815 if you wish to see some current projects.
