Lipari Stone & Garden is located in Smith Valley in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York. Here, the landscape is dotted and criss-crossed with many great walls and barn foundations built into the hills, valleys, and hollows. The gorges of Ithaca are a great inspiration, their towering canyon walls of limestone eroded to look like precise craftsmanship.

While there are many different types of stone to work with, LS&G prefers raw, uncut stones from local quarries, fields and gorges. Naturally eroded stone brings out a deeper character and story than saw-cut limestone or concrete blocks made to look like stone. A new wall of natural stones will have the appearance of great age and maturity beyond other types of materials. Every stone is completely unique, and thus every project has its own story to tell.

In particular, the works of Dan Snow & Thea Alvin are a source of inspiration for LS&G.
