At A.R.C Stonemasonry, we specialise in traditional stone carving and hand-carved lettering, bringing timeless craftsmanship to both new and heritage stonework across South Australia.
Using tools and techniques passed down through generations, we carefully carve names, dates, motifs, and inscriptions into stone. Whether it’s for a memorial plaque, headstone, fireplace, building façade, or garden feature, each letter is shaped with precision and care.
No stencilling or machines — just traditional tools, steady hands, and deep respect for the stone.
From heritage restorations to personalised commissions, our letter carving work ensures that names and messages will stand the test of time, in both form and meaning.
While modern CNC and laser cutting offer precision and speed, they lack the subtle variations, depth, and character of hand-carved lettering. Machine-cut letters often appear flat and lifeless compared to the dynamic shadows and artistic nuance of traditional carving.
Hand-carved letters, with their deeper cuts and subtle undercutting, maintain legibility longer as they age and weather naturally, developing character rather than deteriorating.
Traditional carving allows for complete artistic freedom, adjustment to the stone's natural characteristics, and on-site additions that machine methods cannot accommodate.
