“Through the professional listing on the Stone Trust site, my business-Village Stonesmith Gardens & Masonry has already acquired numerous leads and multiple signed contracts in just a few short months. In fact, we are now in the contract stage with a new client referred to us through the Stone Trust professional listing for a large wall project that will be over $100k in value.
