As a third generation landscaping stone veteran, I have had the privilege of experiencing most every scenario the stone industry has to offer at a “relatively” young age. Starting as free summer labor at dad’s retail stone yard “Jurgie’s Inc.”, I would get to do all the grunt work around the yard. It wasn’t long before I escaped the hard labor and went on to college and earned a BS in Exercise Physiology. After a short stint in that field, I naturally migrated back to my roots, doing what I was good at, playing with rocks.

Beginning as a stone yard assistant helping load customers vehicles, then on to simple homeowner sales, transitioning to contractor sales, and most recently as an architectural representative, I’ve had the unique opportunity of experiencing the various levels within the landscaping stone industry. Now 10 years later I have worked for some of the best companies in the market and have been mentored by the most knowledgeable individuals in the field. The combination of this practical experience and knowledge collected during rigorous certification courses and continued education has provided me with a unique understanding of the entire landscape construction process.

As landscaping stone’s popularity has increased in recent years, the industry has seen a proliferation in the number of stone vendors. Unfortunately the knowledge base of these dealers has lagged far behind their numbers. I recognize the need for a landscaping stone specialist who can be the industry’s single source for information and procurement of material. The business model for Decorative Stone Solutions Inc., was created to address the needs of all project participants. We look forward to the opportunity to prove our value to your organization.
