The Landscape Products Depot was honoured to have three talented students from Algonquin College’s Perth Campus Heritage Stone Masonry Program demonstrate specialty wall construction during the first week of November in 2009.

Students Sean Donnelly, Dan Cookson, and Isaac Kirwin worked as a team to build this unusual twelve-foot long wall completely of natural stone supplied by the Landscape Products Depot. The wall features a moon-gate opening, and is composed of limestone wall stone and flag, and well as sandstone flag in the lilac and toffee colours.

This wall stands as testament to the quality of education provided by Algonquin College’s Perth Campus. Our thanks to Sean, Dan, and Isaac for their hard work and time! It is an amazing wall and we are so proud to have it here at our depot.

Our Oaks Concrete Products section was further enhanced by the installation of a large capacity interlocking pad using Classic pavers in the herringbone style. Before the existence of this pad, our large inventory lined our entrance road. Now with this new pad in place Landscape Products Depot has sorted and grouped the various Oaks products by colour, size and style in neat rows. Finding that perfect paver or wall stone is now a breeze, and loading has never been easier!

When Curtis Brady, a very accomplished local Stone Mason, approached us at the Landscape Products Depot and asked if he could construct a permanent display of his work at our yard, we were delighted!

Knowing the level of Curtis’ skill and his incredible attention to detail in all his natural stone projects, we felt such a display would be an excellent means by which to show visitors what Curtis can do. In addition, it would be a perfect way to demonstrate the potential use of our stone products, particularly the superior limestone coming out of the Georgian Bay area of Ontario.

Curtis broke ground for this display at our depot in mid-July, and this breathtaking work of art was completed within a week. During construction, Curtis spoke with many visitors that dropped by and answered their questions regarding the various techniques involved in masonry. As a result, the construction phase also lent itself to becoming somewhat of a demonstration for onlookers that observed the creation in progress.

Curtis created a series of elegant curving flagstone steps with patterning reminiscent of stained glass, with these being further highlighted by a gorgeous rounded stone wall to serve as a raised garden bed. The final product is amazing - you can see this display being created in the photo gallery below:
