At Utah Stone & Welding, stone is where craftsmanship really shows.

Every project is hand-built by skilled masons who care as much about the finished look as the structure behind it.

We're known for honest service and work delivered on time and on budget. Whether you want to elevate a single accent wall or transform an entire backyard, we'll help you bring the vision to life with materials and methods suited to our desert climate.

What we build

Our Stonework Services

Stone Veneer

Add warmth and texture to exteriors, entryways, columns, and accent walls with natural or manufactured stone veneer — a cost-effective way to get the look of full stone.

Fireplaces & Chimneys

Indoor and outdoor fireplaces built as the centerpiece of the room or patio, paired with the same in-house welding behind our custom metal gates for surrounds and heat-directing metalwork.

Outdoor Kitchens & BBQ Islands

Stone-clad outdoor kitchens, BBQ islands, and bar areas built to handle Southern Utah summers and entertain year-round.

Fire Pits & Seating Walls

Custom stone fire pits and built-in seating that turn a backyard into a gathering space.

Columns, Pillars & Entryways

Stone-wrapped columns and entry features that add curb appeal and a sense of permanence to your property.

Veneer on Block & Retaining Walls

Combine the strength of a custom block wall with a finished stone face for the best of both worlds.

Patios, Walkways & Flagstone

Natural stone and flagstone hardscaping that holds up to heat, sun, and foot traffic.

Why us

Why Southern Utah Trusts Our Crew

Built for the desert

Intense UV, triple-digit summers, monsoon downpours, freeze-thaw at elevation — we select materials and methods that hold color and stay sound through all of it.

True craftsmanship

Stone is unforgiving — gaps, uneven joints, and bad mortar work show forever. Our masons take the time to get it right.

Welding in-house

Stonework that needs custom welding and metalwork — fireplace surrounds, gate-to-stone transitions, structural supports — is handled by one crew, not subcontracted out.

Local & accountable

We're based in St. George and work throughout the region. You're dealing with the people doing the work.

Materials

Stone We Work With

We work with natural stone, fieldstone, flagstone, and manufactured (cultured) stone veneer. Natural stone offers unmatched character and longevity; manufactured veneer gives you a similar look at a lower cost and lighter weight. During your consultation we'll walk through options that fit your style, your budget, and how the stone will hold up where it's installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between stone veneer and full stone masonry?
Full stone masonry is built from solid stone and is fully structural. Stone veneer is a thinner layer of natural or manufactured stone applied over a structural base like block, concrete, or framing. Veneer delivers nearly the same finished look at a lower cost and weight, which is why most residential projects in Southern Utah use it. For a full breakdown, see our guide: stone veneer vs. full stone. We'll also recommend the right approach for your project during the consultation.
How much does stonework cost in St. George, Utah?
Every stonework project is custom, so there's no one-size-fits-all price. Cost depends on the type of stone you choose, the size and complexity of the project, and the conditions at your site. Because of that, we quote each job individually rather than posting flat rates that wouldn't be accurate. The best way to get a real number is a free quote — we'll look at your space, talk through materials, and give you a clear, honest price with no surprises.
Does stone hold up in the Southern Utah climate?
Yes — when it's installed correctly. The bigger risks here are UV fading on lower-quality manufactured stone and moisture or freeze-thaw damage from poor installation. We select stone rated for our climate and install with proper moisture barriers and flashing so it lasts.
Do I need a permit for stonework?
Veneer applied over an existing structure usually doesn't require a permit, but structural masonry, fireplaces, and anything tied to your home's structure often does. Requirements vary by city and by Washington County. We're familiar with local requirements and will let you know what your specific project needs.
Can you match stone to my existing home or wall?
In most cases, yes. We'll help you select stone that complements your home's existing materials, color, and style — or intentionally contrasts it if that's the look you're after.
How long does a stonework project take?
A single accent wall or veneer job may take a few days, while a full outdoor kitchen or large feature can take a couple of weeks. We give you a realistic timeline up front and keep you informed throughout.
