For a private residence in Knoxville, TN, which was highlighted in an October “Parade of Homes,” BMJ Stone supplied its “Stonewood Mountain” fieldstone for the home’s exterior facade and interior fireplaces
Brian, Mike and John Rector first began pulling fieldstone out of the woods and hills of Tennessee with their father over 25 years ago. They recognized there was opportunity in the masonry business and started Plateau Masonry in 1986. As the company expanded, the need for stone grew — and not only for native fieldstone.
The company expanded in flagstone and dimensional stone quarries, and in 1999, BMJ Stone was created. The Fall Creek Select quarry, with its trending shades of tans and browns, in addition to other sandstone quarries and fieldstone products, grew from popular demand. BMJ Stone now brings in 600 to 800 tons of raw stone a week into its yard for processing.
