Do you handle steep waterfront lots?

Yes. Terracing, stairs, and retaining are common on Georgian Bay slopes.

Can you match existing stone on a renovation?

We work with you on colour, scale, and pattern to blend new work with what's already there.

Can you install engineered retaining at the shoreline?

Yes. When drawings call for Redi-Rock or modular retention, STC installs systems supplied by The Sarjeant Co. with the same waterfront planning as our natural stone work.

On Your Property

How this gets built

Waterfront stone has to work hard — safe stairs, solid retaining, and finishes that stand up to wind and ice.

We know Georgian Bay conditions: lake-effect wind, ice push, and grade movement through the seasons. We build accordingly.

Waterfront-specific planning and build sequence
Clean finishes that look good from the water and from the cottage
Coordination with docks, decks, and landscape trades
Trusted across Tiny Township and Wasaga Beach
