About Newbold Stone
Bringing high-end craftsmanship to every project, from countertops and hearths to vanities, fire pits, and stair treads.
Our Story
Crafting Custom Concrete
We started as experts in precast concrete, working on high-end residential projects: countertops, cast sinks, hearths, and custom pieces for discerning clients in the Austin area.
As our reputation grew, so did the scope of our work. Architects and builders began seeking us out for commercial projects, from corporate offices needing custom countertops to schools requiring durable stair treads. We found that by bringing a high-end residential mindset to every project, we consistently exceeded expectations.
Today, we continue that tradition of excellence. Whether it is a custom hearth for a luxury home, vanities for a boutique hotel, or stair treads for a major commercial building, every piece we craft meets the highest standards of quality and design.
