Our Process
At Living Stone Concrete Design, our journey began with a deep passion for concrete and a mission to create beautiful things. We recognize concrete's irresistible charm, which is why we pour our hearts into every step, from conception to completion.
Our team of skilled artisans continually pushes creative boundaries with concrete. We take immense pride in crafting luxurious and unparalleled concrete masterpieces for homes and businesses nationwide.
Whether it's creating breathtaking installations for commercial spaces or small yet impactful powder rooms, every piece from Living Stone Concrete Design is meticulously handcrafted right here in the United States.
Overview:
Our concrete products are designed-to-spec, fabricated in our
MN-based facility & shipped nationwide.
Concrete’s allure is its sense of performance. To honor that longevity, we are diligent about the details and attentive to every facet, from imagination through installation. Our artisans have a thoughtful, informed, respectful relationship with their material.
Our exclusive blend of natural materials yields a far superior product; it is 40% lighter and 2x stronger than traditional concrete or stone materials. It is highly customizable, stunningly beautiful, distinctively durable, and has extraordinary integrity. These qualities enable us to deliver design without compromise.

03. Create
Crafting your custom product is a multi-day, multi-step process. After our drafters work closely with you to flush out every detail, ensuring a customized experience, our team builds each mold to the specifications of your project, and our skilled artisans hand-fill the molds with our proprietary blend of concrete. Once cured, each piece undergoes meticulous hand processing, polishing, and sealing to ensure longevity and beauty.
Our commercial-strength, food-safe sealer penetrates deep into the concrete, creating a protective, integrated barrier against stains and scratches. The result is a one-of-a-kind functional work of art suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
True Art isn't mass produced
