Sean Fox, owner of Fox Stone Works, LLC., has always worked with his hands.
He started out painting and landscaping in his teens, and met an established stonemason, Mickey Lewis, not long after. Sean enjoyed the challenges and nuances of stonework, and took up an apprenticeship.
It was through this mentor that Sean learned the skills of the trade, built up his customer service knowledge, and obtained his quarry.
Fox Stone Works, LLC. has always been a small and intimate operation, consisting of only a few strong team members at a time. Rich Nace, Sean’s longest standing team member, began as an apprentice, much like Sean. Rich now handles many on-site job aspects, allowing Sean to step back and manage the big picture.
Fox Stone Works, LLC.’s team wouldn’t be complete without Dante, Sean’s German Shepherd. He accompanies the team to most jobs and oversees quality control.
Testimonials
“We had the pleasure working with Sean Fox, as he built our backyard patio. Sean is extremely creative and designed a magnificent patio. He and his staff were also a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Sean."
–Frannie and Craig Bondy
“This is our third project with Fox Stone Works – and each time was a CHARM! Sean and his team are professional, polite, super talented, and a joy with whom to work. We have amazing walkways, a fire pit area that begs for ‘smores and more, and garden walls that outshine the flora. Would we work with Sean and team again? Yes! As soon as we come up with a new project.”
–Karen & Rosie, Hurley, NY
"Sean is truly a master craftsman. We are delighted with our patio. He and Rich worked hard to solve a grading and drainage problem with a functional, yet beautiful and interesting design. We would highly recommend them.”
–Rachel D., Woodstock, NY
“On time, on budget, creative, reliable, accommodating, perfectionists. Have them back for my next project? I wouldn’t have anyone else!”
– Dr. Dot, Saugerties, NY
I’ve been working with Sean on a complicated project at my house for several years now. The site and scope are quite challenging, but Sean and his team have been great at figuring out the details and making it work. I must note that I am not the easiest client to work for, as I am a picky perfectionist with control issues. Sean is extremely knowledgeable, professional, engaging, LISTENS, and does amazing work. It is rare to find someone with talent and the ability to plan and execute to the level he does, and as an added bonus he is a nice guy. I interviewed a number of stone masons before hiring Sean, and am so happy I had the wherewithal to select him. He is truly the best in the area. Consider yourself lucky if you get the opportunity to work with him.

Working with Sean Fox and his team of Rich, Riley and Dante was a joy. We hired Fox Stoneworks late in the construction season to build a bluestone patio. Sean and his team were extremely accommodating and able to fit us into their busy schedule.
Sean is a master craftsman. He's extremely detail oriented and made excellent suggestions that addressed both design and functionality issues. Communication was excellent; really appreciated the daily progress updates including photos and wildlife sightings. The finished patio ties seamlessly into existing stone pathways and our stone foundation and has received many compliments.
–Tom and Sarah, High Falls, NY
“I found Sean through a referral and hired him to add a set of stone steps from my patio down to the ground. I’m really happy with the work and the result. Sean was on time for all meetings, really communicative, and did a great job on time and budget. As I was a first-timer doing this kind of work, he give me tips on what would look great and what wouldn’t, and was able to turn my vision into a reality. I’d hire him again in a minute, in fact I already have a bunch of other projects in mind!”
