A MASTERPIECE IN POOL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

Over the years Stone Mason of Spring, Joe DiPaulo and Barbara Kierewicz, have been challenged to create some of the most unique and imaginative pool projects. Their graphic and architectural backgrounds enable them to create and build many important works. Conceiving a design that pushes the envelope and is complex in its many components was achieved through the knowledge and tutoring of Joe’s father who was a turn of the century master craftsman in the field of construction and engineering.

Our website will feature the St. Laurent project. Yvette and Matthew St. Laurent planned their dream house for years. Along with one of the most authentically built stately manors, they wanted an equally imaginative backyard project that would enhance their home and lifestyle. Over the course of several years of planning, we finally embarked on creating this piece of art.

1. A large swimming pool – 10′ deep
2. A large entry with ample shallow space and two flanking stone stained glass lights
