Photos from Don's stone and masonry jobs
These photos came straight off Don Barger's phone, from his own Stonecrete Inc jobs. They show stone on house fronts and porches, stone fireplace walls, thin brick, an old fieldstone foundation repointed, new concrete steps and walks, and block walls. Stonecrete is based in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Call or text Don at (612) 432-9467.

Straight off Don's phone
Every picture here is from Don's own jobs. None of them are stock. A lot were taken partway through, with paper still on the floor, scaffolding up or house wrap above the stone, because that is when he had his phone out.
They were cropped to fit the page. One house number, a yard sign and the stencil on a temporary door were blurred. Nothing else about them was changed.
What is in them
Most of it is stone. Each kind of work has its own page if you want to read more about it.
- Stone on house fronts, under porch posts and as wainscot under the windows
- Stone fireplace walls, one of them two stories tall
- Thin brick around a fireplace and on a kitchen wall
- An old fieldstone foundation with new mortar in the joints
- New concrete front steps and walks
- Block retaining walls beside steps

Questions
Are these Don's own jobs?
Yes. Every photo on this page came from Don, from work on his own jobs. There are no stock pictures on this site.
Can I see more photos of a certain kind of work?
Ask Don. Text (612) 432-9467 with what you have in mind and he can tell you what he has.
Don tells you plainly what the masonry needs, and what it does not, before any work starts.
