FAQ

What types of projects do you work on?

Pimenta Stone specializes in high-end residential masonry and outdoor living environments throughout the Washington DC metro region. Our core work includes custom stone patios and terraces, luxury pool decks and poolscapes, retaining walls and structural stonework, outdoor kitchens and fire features, driveways and entrance ways, garden walls, and estate entrances. We work on both new construction and renovation projects, and partner closely with homeowners, architects, landscape architects, and builders across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. No project is too complex — our team of 25 expert stonemasons has completed some of the most distinguished stonework in the region over the past 30 years.

What is the design process like?

Every Pimenta Stone project begins with an on-site consultation where we assess your property, discuss your vision, and review material options. From there, we develop a project scope tailored to your site conditions, budget, and design goals. Unlike many contractors, we offer deep expertise in natural stone selection — from bluestone and travertine to granite, limestone, and Techo-Bloc pavers — so we can guide you toward materials that will perform beautifully in the Mid-Atlantic climate for decades. Once scope is agreed, our project managers oversee every phase of construction, keeping you informed from groundbreaking to final walk-through. We don't rush. Our belief is that the finest work is built slowly, carefully, and by hand.

What is your approach to sustainability in design?

We take a long-term view on sustainability. The most sustainable choice in masonry is building something that lasts — and that's been our standard since 1994. We use natural stone and quality hardscape materials that don't need replacing every 10–15 years the way lower-grade alternatives do. When selecting materials, we consider local sourcing where possible, permeability for stormwater management (particularly important in Maryland and Virginia where runoff regulations continue to tighten), and designs that work with the natural topography of your property rather than against it. We're also a certified Techo-Bloc installer, giving clients access to a full line of engineered permeable paver systems.

What is the timeline for a typical project?

Timeline varies significantly by project scope. A standard stone patio or walkway typically runs 2–4 weeks of active construction. A full outdoor living build — pool deck, outdoor kitchen, retaining walls, and hardscape — can run 6–12 weeks depending on size and material lead times. We serve a large area including Montgomery County MD, Fairfax County VA, and DC, and schedule projects seasonally. We recommend contacting us in late winter or early spring to secure a spot for summer or fall installation. Our team of four certified project managers keeps schedules tight and communication clear throughout.

How much does a project cost?

Pimenta Stone focuses on the high-end residential and commercial market, and our projects reflect that. Custom stone work is a skilled trade — our team includes 25 expert stonemasons with decades of experience — and quality materials and craftsmanship are priced accordingly. A custom stone patio typically starts in the range of $25,000–$60,000 depending on size, materials, and site conditions. Full outdoor living environments with pool decks, kitchens, and walls can run $100,000–$400,000+. We work with clients who value craftsmanship that endures and are investing in their property for the long term.
