"As a designer of original custom enviroments from
landscapes to homes, I exclusively use Nigel O and his
stonework artistic masonary for my projects. His
skillfulness with large rock motifs, unique (one of a kind)
milestone counter-tops, and my personal favorites,
hearth/wall intricate rock collages (adorned with natural
symbolic patterns, hidden nooks, stone shelving and the
occasional gem) masterfully showcase any design. I highly
recommend Nigel O's workmanship for whatever ways the bones of the earth may be used."

"It is my distinct pleasure to recommend the work and the character of Nigel. Breitenbush has been blessed to receive his visits over the past five years, and each time, he leaves us a gift of master craftsmanship. Whether the job requires expert masonry or the most creative rockwork imaginable, Nigel does it. He does his work with profound respect for the native materials used, he does it with deep wit, and he does this work with what I can only characterize as the most engaged intelligence. It’s good to be around him. Nigel’s visits are inevitably more than an opportunity to install a rock face or stone pool where needed, or to get a concrete hazard repaired. His visits are splendid little homecomings—for him I hope, and most certainly for us who live and work at this beautiful wilderness sanctuary here in Oregon. Do not miss the opportunity to work with this man. You’ll be proud to own what he creates for you."
Peter Moore, Business Director of Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center (www.breitenbush.com).

"We were so fortunate to have chosen Nigel O to do the stonework surrounding our home. He is an artisan who created remarkable structure and beauty that even now presents itself in new ways. We are so pleased with the quality of work he did. Another noteworthy benefit in selecting Nigel is that he runs his business wisely. He is reliable, meets deadlines, maintains a clean worksite, independently coordinates his work and schedule with other contractors (i.e. electrical, landscape, irrigation, metal fabricators) and is an excellent communicator with a warm and wonderful sense of humor and a lot of positive energy. Nigel is a pleasure to work with."

"I can't thank you enough for the wonderful stonework you
did for me. The bluestone patio and flagstone walkways are gorgeous. But, I must say that the dry stack stone wall you did for me is easily one of the nicest pieces of stonework I've ever seen. That you could pull off a gracefully curved wall in a material as rigid as stone I find remarkable. The wall's balance, grace, and natural fit in our yard exceeded my expectations by a mile. Every neighbor that walks by comments on how much they like it. Moreover, every tradesman that has come in after you has remarked about how nice it is; they all want to know who did it. The beauty and integrity of your work has set a standard that the landscaping folks that followed you have, I'm sure, struggled to meet. Your work has made our modest house remarkable. Thanks!"
