Care for stone that lasts generations.

Repair, moving and new work, from the people who know the stone.

Zimbabwean stone is made to endure, but even the strongest piece can be chipped, toppled or simply outgrow its spot. From stone sculpture repair to new commissions, we look after sculptures for life, and we carve new ones to order.

01 · Care & repair

Stone sculpture repair that brings the shine back.

Stone sculptures are heavy and built for the elements, but accidents happen: a knock in the garden, a fall, a winter of rain. Our stone sculpture repair work covers cleaning, restoring and fixing damage, with the same hand tools and finishes the carvers use.

  • Cleaning, re-waxing and polishing
  • Repair of chips, cracks and breaks
  • Re-attaching broken pieces
  • Checking and adjusting bases so a piece stands safely
  • Advice on outdoor care through the Vancouver seasons

02 · Moving & installation

The right piece, in the right place.

Moving a sculpture that weighs as much as a person takes care and experience. We move, place and secure stone safely, whether it is a new purchase, a piece you already own, or a move to a new home.

  • Safe handling and transport of heavy pieces
  • Plinths and bases, made to fit
  • Placement in gardens, homes, offices and public spaces
  • Relocating and re-securing existing sculptures
