ABOUT
NORTON STONEWORKS
At Norton Stoneworks, we know every project starts with a vision. Maybe it’s a quiet garden retreat, a stone wall that adds character to your property, or an artistic feature that sets your space apart. Whatever it is, our goal is to bring that vision to life with care, creativity, and craftsmanship. Stone is timeless, and we believe the work we create with it should be too.
If you’re ready to transform your space—private or public—we’re ready to help make it happen.
JOE NORTON
While finishing college I worked for a stonemason in my hometown of Boothbay, Maine. The tactile nature of touching, lifting and fitting stones together was a welcomed contrast to the more theoretical experience of a liberal arts education.
After school I took a job with the National Park Service complete with brown polyester pants, green shirt and a funny hat. Walking the hills of the Marin Headlands, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, I often found myself daydreaming about things I wanted to build with stone.
I moved to Maui. Floating in the Pacific one sunny Sunday morning near Lahaina, staring up at that paradise-blue sky, again I found myself placing stones together in my mind.
One day I listened to that voice. I moved back to Maine and started working with stone full time. In the nearly twenty years since my life has been completely taken over by stone.
