Meet Nick Zacarelli

Stonemason. designer. artist.

Nick Zacarelli is the founder and owner of Birch Grove Stone & Garden, a premier landscaping company located in the State of Connecticut. He has dedicated his life and career to stone work and landscape design, honing his skills and experience over the past decade. Primal Stone Design is the expansion of that work into art form.

Nick utilizes his creativity and passion for natural stone to create truly custom sculptures, unique stone features, fireplaces, and artwork with the goal of connecting you to nature and awakening your primal instincts. As humans, our connection to stone goes back tens upon tens of millennia. Each piece is thoughtfully tailored, bringing you closer to the natural elements that have helped us as a species survive.

All stone is hand-picked by Nick and sourced from local quarries throughout New England, some abandoned and some operational. Each stone is individually aged, weathered, and reclaimed from unused stone piles hidden within the outer edges of the quarry. As a result, these creations are resourceful and environmentally conscious. No two pieces are the same, whether it’s a statue, arbor, bench, or artwork.
