FAQ: Best Projects for a Stone Mason Portfolio

What should a stone mason show first in a portfolio?

Start with your strongest before-and-after transformations in the services you want to win most. First impressions should match your business goals.

How many projects should I include?

Use 8 to 15 high-quality projects across your key services. A curated set converts better than posting every project without structure.

Should I include only final photos or process too?

Include both. Final photos show results while process images communicate professionalism, technical control, and care in execution.

What details should I add to each project?

Add stone types, project scope, setting, and outcomes so clients understand what was done and what to expect from their project.

How often should I refresh my best-projects section?

Update it at least once a month with your newest strong results so your portfolio reflects current quality and service demand.

Should I group projects by service type or by material?

Start by service type so clients find relevant projects quickly, then optionally group by material to help clients visualise their choices.
