Living Stone Co, located in Llano, Texas, is a granite supplier that specializes in the monument industry. The company is owned by Larry Masters, a compassionate individual who provides personal guidance for all cemetery needs. The master engraver, Michael, is an artist whose detailed and professional engravings contribute to the high-quality craftsmanship that Living Stone Co is known for. The magnificent tombstone they created for my respected father is a testament to their skill and dedication. Made from Bahama Blue Granite, the tombstone is both elegant and enduring. The detailed etchings demonstrating Michael's ability to capture emotion and honor in his work. Personalization custom to the deceased is illustrated on all sides of the soaring stone. My family's experience with Living Stone Co has been nothing short of excellent. Both Larry and Michael have shown themselves to be Earth Angels, guiding me through a difficult parting with my father with skill and compassion. Their work on my father's tombstone showcases their ability to create beautiful and lasting tributes. I am eternally grateful for their craftsmanship & compassion. I highly recommend Living Stone Co to take care of your dearly departed loved one. read more

Ok, my daughter passed away in 2020. After several emails, we all agreed on the final plan for her stone. So, a HUGE price, and a HUGE down payment- $3,000. Ok, per owner- can't get supplies- China So several months later- per owner- stone will be teady in 30- 45 days. That was 3-4 months ago. So I am wondering- does lLving Stone charge such a huge down payment, never deliver the product- bereaved family decide to go elsewhere, and just give up huge down payment? Living Stone has MANY unclaimed stones I would NEVER recommend this Company to anyone. read more

Do not use this company for your funerary engraving services. It took Living Stone Company over seven months to engrave my grandfather's headstone, and when it was "completed" they had only carved his date of death, and not the full inscription or quote that we had ordered and that matched my grandmother's connecting headstone. When notified of their incomplete work, the owner passed us off to a worker who spent 30 minutes searching for our "file" and then proceeded to state that our account did include a longer inscription, read us a couple of quotes from the "file", neither of which were the one we had originally selected. Then they had the audacity to bill us over $100 more than our the original bill summary... Their selection of natural stones may be beautiful, but their funerary engraving services are inadequate and staff insensitive. read more

The selection, quality & price of the stone is great. However, the installation took longer than expected and they left issues which Larry refused to address. They removed a 4" backsplash to install a 6" backsplash. They made a hole in the wall & other rips @ the 8" point. Not careful like expected. Then 2 of the pieces of backsplash had to be recut as they were too short & of course it was another few days til they came back to finish. They supposedly sealed all of the countertop-however- on the L shaped piece there are dull streaks where obviously they didn't overlap the strokes. Went & spoke to Larry- said they were backed up & it would be a week or 2. 2 weeks later we got the same response. When we asked if he knew a timeframe he hung up the phone. Won't use them again!!! Too many other places around. read more

In early June we had meet with Larry at his shop and picked out Granit to make 2 end tables. He too our deposit of $1200.00 and said tables would be ready 1st of August with wrought iron bases. After repeated calls to Larry, he came up with a different excuse every time why they were not finished. He couldn't even remember what excuse he used from week to week. I picked up the tops as they were ( not how we ordered) and got back $200.00 + of my deposit, so as to avoid being screwed anymore by the so called Christian. Talking with Be very weary of any dealings with himother people who have had some custom kitchen counters not done correctly,I very lucky to have gotten out with the loss I got. read more

Rather than help solve our problem and honor his 5 year general warranty on material and workmanship, he chose to ignore us to the point we had to take him to small claims court. He hired an attorney, failed to agree to court mandated arbitration, made excuses why he couldn't show up for discovery at our house, and only at the last minute did he make an offer to come try to fix the granite slab in our kitchen. His offer to fix it was a one time offer that once he had made any repairs he would not come back again. We sought and won a money judgement that he has not paid to date. I would not recommend anyone doing business with this company or its owners EVER! About a year ago, we filed a complaint with the BBB which he answered and blamed everything on us, his customer. How the BBB can have an A+ rating on them is a mystery to me. The BBB's answer to us was that he had responded and that was all that was necessary. read more

reviews are opinions. we try very hard to do a fantastic job at a very fair price. the few complaints i have gotten are not factual. they rearrange the issues to fit their narrative. the latest has nothing to do with the company. i had a lady taking care of my 95 year old mother who passed on 8/2/21. after work, i drove to her trailer park to check on her as i hadn't seen her in two days and heard she was ill. on the trailer park rd. i encountered one of my old vans sticking out 6 plus ft. in the road. i had given this to him years ago before he discovered meth and i fired him. sitting in the middle of the road was a plastic round trash can . i went around the van and over the trash can. these people live like pigs. who leaves a van halfway in the road and a trash can blocking the remaining narrow road. when i got home, i got a nasty call from a person using a false name. i was not on their trailer property, i was on the road. in 22 plus years i have only had a hand full of difficult customers and we do our best to deal with them. unfortunately, some think they are the only one and we should drop everything for them when they make a change after the original order was installed. this is just part of dealing with the public. 99% are very great to work with. those who complain rearrange the facts. got a legitimate concern, we will deal with it . this is why i don't even look at reviews, even when i buy something . anyone can put anything on the internet about you with zero consequences. got a concern- please feel free to call me at (325) 247-1067 six days per week. thanks- larry read more

This is a rare gem of a company... Larry, the Owner is hands on, quality is perfect, amazing selection and in house fabrication and installation. Can't speak highly enough of this company from start to finish read more

I am thoroughly satisfied with Living Stone. The quality of work and service was fantastic. The facility is a little out of town but the on hand inventory is larger than any granite yard I have seen in Texas. read more

This company made a countertop for me and installed it last week. Prior to delivery, I made a trip to inspect it and found that it had a break that went all the way through the counter on one side. This break was not there when my husband and I selected the slab. The owner said the material was very hard to work with and that we were not looking at a break but a natural vein. I put my fingernail into the crack and showed that it went all the way through. He said this was normal, but would have his guys fill it and polish it to get it smooth. When they delivered it the following week, the crack was still there and the guys said it was unacceptable and worked on it for two days in my driveway. When they cut the holes for the sinks, they created two more complete breaks that ran from each of the two sinks to the front of the counter. They had also re-sanded the entire surface with sandpaper, leaving a matte finish with scratched swirls in it. After reporting this to the owner and explaining that it was damaged, he refused to work with us and said that we would need to pay to have another countertop put in. I sent him a video showing all of the breaks and the finish and he is refusing to work with me, so far. If the owner decides to work with me and, either refunds our money or replaces the countertop in a different material, I will post another Yelp review in the companies favor. read more
