About Us

Hi there! I am Josh Velk and i am the owner of Waipa Stonemasons. My passion for stonework started on my OE to Europe over 15 years ago. There were so many inspiring old stone buildings, including the old stone house my grandfather and his family lived in for generations in Croatia.

After my time in Europe i started working as a stonemason and have been in the trade for 14 years now. In August 2013 I achieved my National certificate from BCITO as a qualified stonemason.

My work has taken me to many places within New Zealand and Australia but these days the majority of my work is in the Waikato region. I have been living in this beautiful region for over 3 years now with my wife and daughter.

Waipa Stonemasons will take on a vast variety of projects. We are never shy to take up the odd challenge to make your dreams, that you might have taken home from your overseas travel, a reality.

The Team

and this is Dug my loyal companion.
