Some properties are valuable. Others become unforgettable.

That is the vision of Da Vinci Stone Co.

The world’s finest landscapes have never depended on excess. They depend on permanence.

For hundreds of millions of years, the Earth has quietly created masterpieces through fire, pressure, glaciers, rivers, oceans, frost, and time. Every extraordinary granite specimen tells a geological story far older than civilization itself.

Da Vinci Stone exists to preserve those stories.

Every specimen is individually curated—not because people created it, but because nature did.

The mission is simple:

To enrich extraordinary properties with landmark-grade natural stone that appears as though it has always belonged there.

Whether standing at the entrance to a private estate, overlooking a pond, anchoring a mountain cabin, welcoming visitors to a coastal retreat, framing a garden, or becoming the centerpiece of a timeless landscape, each Da Vinci Stone adds something architecture alone cannot.

Authenticity.

Permanence.

Presence.

The greatest estates in places like Bar Harbor, Acadia, and throughout coastal New England have long understood that remarkable natural stone elevates an entire property. One perfectly placed specimen can define an entrance, create a destination, establish a sense of history, and become part of the land itself.

That philosophy should not be limited to Maine.

Da Vinci Stone believes extraordinary natural sculpture belongs anywhere beauty, craftsmanship, and stewardship of the land are valued.

A mountain lodge in Montana.

A ranch in Texas.

A vineyard in California.

A historic farm in Pennsylvania.

A waterfront estate in Florida.

A woodland retreat in New Hampshire.

A family cabin in Maine.

Each property deserves materials worthy of the landscape.

These are not simply rocks.

They are landmark-grade natural sculptures.

They are functional art.

They are geological history.

They are gifts of Creation, refined over immense spans of time and thoughtfully placed to enrich the places where people gather, celebrate, reflect, and build their lives.

Buildings may age.

Styles may change.

Gardens evolve.

But extraordinary stone remains.

Generation after generation.

Century after century.

Exactly as nature intended.

Rick Rosenfield spent over a decade as a federal prosecutor and private practice attorney before walking out of a San Francisco courtroom in 1985 and deciding he was done with law. Within 24 hours, he and his partner Larry Flax had mortgaged their homes and signed a Beverly Hills lease for a California-style pizza restaurant — a category that barely existed at the time.

Their original concept was actually a pasta cafeteria. A trip to a Glendale mall food court changed everything: they watched people grab mediocre pizza under heat lamps and rethought the entire idea on the drive home. The pivot led to California Pizza Kitchen — and when their original chef put barbecue chicken pizza on the menu, 150 of every 200 pizzas sold were that one dish. CPK grew to 25 locations in its first seven years, then accelerated after PepsiCo bought two-thirds of the company. By 2011, combining restaurant sales, frozen retail and international franchises, the system approached $1 billion in revenue. Rick and Larry sold to private equity for approximately $470 million.

Rick credits culture above everything else — a framework called ROCK: respect, opportunity, communication and kindness. CPK became the first national chain to go non-smoking after a single conversation with a manager who pointed out that servers didn't want to work in smoking sections.
His advice: don't fall in love with your ideas. Stay open to reality checks and adapt.

A house is just walls until the ground beneath it is right.
That’s where we come in.

Concrete is the first real step from structure to home—the slab you walk on, the patio you gather on, the steps that welcome you in. I’ve spent my life in real estate and construction, and I can tell you this: what’s underneath determines everything above it.

We don’t rush it. We prep it right. We grade it right. We pour and finish it with patience—because this isn’t just concrete, it’s the foundation of how you live.

For homeowners, it’s where life happens.
For investors, it’s what protects value.
For families, it’s where memories start.

Making a house feel like a home begins here.

Serving Montclair, Blairstown, and across Essex, Union, Morris, and Warren Counties.

For the 1% that can actually finish concrete - Finishing cement is where it all begins- pro or bu****it - 99% can’t do this right. Nothing is easy.

AI can or can’t do this? Not now anyways. You need real concrete not jams and robot bu****it.

Out here at Mohican — building something real, one step at a time.

Marked out new trails, fresh plantings going in, mulch down, and the land starting to take shape the right way. Nothing flashy — just honest work, attention to detail, and respect for the property.

This is where landscaping and contracting meet stewardship. Preserve, improve, and let the land speak.
