Wind River Stone Scapes

About Wind River Stone Scapes

Late in the afternoon, when the light turns low and amber over the granite shoulders of the Wind River Range, Wind River Stone Scapes is often finishing up walkways and stone patios around Pinedale, clearing the snow off the same hardscape it knows from warmer months. Working stone in winter means reading it differently, watching for the ice film that forms on flagstone after Sublette County's typical thaw-and-freeze swings. Every path gets cleared down to the surface and treated so a step doesn't turn into a slide, especially on the north-facing stretches that never see direct sun this time of year. Keeping a property's stonework visible and usable through the coldest months, the lines of a walkway holding their shape under all that white, is a specific kind of result worth stopping to look at. By the time the light fades behind the peaks, the paths are bare and the ice is down.
