Question 1

Can stone pillars support a driveway gate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, stone pillars designed for gates include a reinforced structural core, typically steel or filled block, to handle the weight and movement of the gate. The stone veneer is applied over this core.

Question 2

How do you handle wiring for lights on the pillars?

Accepted Answer

We coordinate the installation of electrical conduit within the pillar's core during construction. This allows for hidden wiring to support lanterns, gate automation, or address lighting without exposing cables on the finished stone surface.

Question 3

What types of stone can be used for entrance pillars?

Accepted Answer

We build pillars using a variety of materials, including natural fieldstone, dimensional cut stone, and architectural stone veneers. The choice depends on your home's exterior, existing masonry, and desired aesthetic.
