My affinity for stonework began at an early age. Growing up in New England I often witnessed many examples of quality stonework. I began working with stone in my early 20s with a landscape contractor in central Massachusetts. Without having the luxury of an apprenticeship, I learned the trade through many books and established my own style. I began working for other stone masons when I moved to the Asheville area. The many different projects I worked on included large scale renovations of hiking trails to small scale renovations of flower beds. These projects gave me a wide base of knowledge that have broadened my understanding of stonework. With this experience I started my own business Stonesmith. We specialize in traditional stone laying methods including retaining walls, walkways, staircases, fireplaces, chimneys and more. I knew early on I wanted the quality of my work to match the eternal nature of stone. In New England, if stonework was done improperly, you would find out as soon as winter had thawed. It is with that mentality that I build a solid investment with stone. Received the highest score ever given for the initial certification by the DSWA by instructor Sean Adcock Member of the Stone Foundation http://www.stonefoundation.org/
"We recently had some work done by Matt Smith and his crew. We would be happy to recommend him for any stonework you could want. Mat’s crew of five or six men are a wonder. They are hard-working, obviously very strong, and take great pride in the quality of their work. They will take time to answer any questions you might have, and they are thoughtful, polite, neat and tidy, and know their jobs. The stone patio they made for us is beyond anything we could have hoped for. At the end of the job they did a thorough cleanup and left our place neat and tidy. I might mention that Matt studied with Tomas Lipps, the founder and editor of Stonemasonry Magazine and one of America’s finest stone masons. It’s no wonder that Matt is in demand. My final bit of praise is in regard to the cost: it was quite reasonable— I’m happy to say. I wish we had another job for Stonesmith to take on."

Gravel or loose fill paving installs, spreads or scrapes FAQs
The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.
One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.
Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
