What Is Jewelstone?

Jewelstone is a natural stone overlay. Small, rounded natural stone aggregate is mixed with a clear, UV-stable epoxy binder and troweled over an existing concrete slab. The result is a seamless stone surface that looks like a river-stone finish, grips underfoot and reflects heat.

Pool coping integrated with a Jewelstone deck

The Base Slab Matters

Jewelstone is an overlay, so it follows the base slab. If the slab is heaving or cracked through, the overlay will crack too. We assess and repair the base, keep expansion joints working and integrate pool coping so the finish is clean at the water’s edge.

Book early

Pool decks are best done in early spring so the surface cures before opening day. For coping and structural deck repairs, see concrete pool repair.

Jewelstone also works on front walks and steps. For a paver look, see interlocking stonework.

Jewelstone overlays are installed by our Toronto masonry and concrete crews and quoted fixed-price within 24 hours of the site visit.

What Customers Say About Our Jewelstone Work

"Our old pool deck was cracked and hot underfoot. The Jewelstone overlay is seamless, cool to walk on and the kids no longer slip. The 10-year warranty was in the contract, not just a promise on the phone."
Sophie T.Oakville$27KJewelstone Pool Deck
"Chimney was leaning after the ice storm. Marty walked the roof Tuesday, quote Wednesday, rebuild done in nine days. Heritage brick match is perfect, you cannot tell it was ever rebuilt."
Jennifer K.Rosedale$22KChimney Rebuild + Heritage Brick Match
"Our house sits in the Cabbagetown Heritage Conservation District and two other masons told us approvals were our problem. Toronto Elite Masonry's expeditor filed the Heritage Preservation submission, Marty mixed three lime mortar samples on a test panel and the city signed off on the first one. The front elevation now looks like 1885 again, and the recipe is on file for next time."
