Training & Consulting

Our personalized training helps motivated homeowners tackle their own stone projects using proper techniques and materials. The results? Beautiful and long-lasting stonework on your property, and the pride of building it yourself.

Founder and partner Victoria Merriman is one of just a handful of certified Dry Stone Walling Association instructors in the state of New Hampshire and teaches several workshops a year at The Stone Trust.

We love teaching homeowners the basics of stonework, introducing them to tools of the trade, and watching their enthusiasm and skill grow as they learn by doing. If you have a project in mind at your home but need a little guidance and support to get started, a custom training could be a good option for you. Contact us today to share your ideas.

What our clients are saying...

Friction & Gravity designed and built a gorgeous stone patio in our backyard. The process gave us a great balance of control and expert guidance: Victoria came to the site and talked over ideas with us, then shared a series of options based on those ideas. We narrowed them down to one we were really excited about, and scheduled the work itself. Friction & Gravity was able to complete the job quickly and precisely, and at a really reasonable cost. We couldn’t be happier with the end product.
