About Devine Escapes

And the man behind it all.

This Is Devin Devine, traveling stone mason and artist based out of the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania

 

It’s the story of the underdog who surmounted all obstacles, mastered himself and created stone art across the USA.

After 10 years working in outdoor construction, masonry, and landscaping, Devin Devine started Devine Escapes in 2007. He began his own stone landscaping company, as a stone mason who wanted to create wholesome and inspiring spaces in greater harmony with nature.  He hoped that this would give him the chance to spend more time on his artwork, as well, since he would make his own schedule. But then something different happened,  he began expressing himself artistically with the stones, his work and his art became one.

My clients allow me the opportunity to do what I love doing. I can’t even say thank you enough.  Devine Escapes is a creative venture, creating beauty and creating harmony, incidentally keeping me fed, clothed, and sheltered.

A different sort of landscaping company…this is high end stone masonry and visionary eco-art

I use local, natural materials to design comfortable, inspiring, outdoor spaces. Your landscape should look like it fits in with its environment and actually be built from it’s environment. The goal is to make your local environment, your yard, into a better place, without doing undue damage to the larger world. I hope to create a space that encourages you to spend time outside, too.

When you hire me you can expect individual attention, my focus for the entire project, as well as each and every stone. You can expect the best work that I can deliver, within budget, and timely completion.

Thank you

Built to Traditional Standards

The oldest standing structures built by humans are made of dry stone.  A solid understanding of the principles of physics is necessary to design something that will stand the test of time.  We build to traditional standards, even when we create something no one has seen before.

Natural Materials

Using stone and other materials from right here in Pennsylvania is important to us, and we think it should be important to you, too.  Not only does it make landscape features that “fit in” with your land’s natural beauty, but it also cuts fuel usage in transporting materials, and eliminates the impact of fabricating manufactured materials.  We try to use what’s at our feet, so to speak.

Attention to Detail and Artistic Form

When we create a design, we look at the land first.  Usually, the land tells me most of what we need to know, immediately. Small refinements of the vision will take place as the project grows and it will be a journey of discovery–but usually, I have most of the vision in an instant. Without undue time constraint, without budgetary concern and without interference–the vision will unfold with enduring beauty.
