Meridian

Meridian Stoneworks has been one studio since 2009. The person who surveys your grade is in the same room as the person who details the wall section and the superintendent who will build it. That is the whole idea, and it is why we do not bid other people's drawings.

01

The drawing is the contract

We do not start without a stamped set. Everyone on site works from the same sheet, so the thing you approved is the thing that gets built.

02

Build the invisible well

Base, drainage, and reinforcement decide whether a hardscape lasts twenty years or five. We spend disproportionate money below grade.

03

One crew, start to finish

The superintendent who walked the site with you on day one is the one who hands it back. No rotating subs, no translation loss.

04

Material honesty

Stone that is doing structural work should look like it. We do not veneer over problems or use thin stone to imply mass that is not there.

Four phases, each with something you can hold at the end of it.

Phase 01

Survey & Read

We measure the fall, locate utilities, and test the soil. What the site will allow drives everything that follows, so this is the one phase we never compress.

→ Existing conditions plan

Phase 02

Draw

Plan, section, and detail. You see the joint pattern, the wall section, and the drainage path before a single pallet is ordered.

→ Construction drawing set

Phase 03

Specify

Material selections confirmed against real samples on your site, in your light. Allowances become fixed line items.

→ Fixed-price proposal

Phase 04

Build

One crew, one superintendent, no subcontracted stone. The drawing on the wall of the job trailer is the drawing you approved.
