The right stone for Denver outdoors (our recommendations)
- Quartzite – Ultra-hard, naturally heat/UV-resistant; ideal at the grill and high-use prep zones.
- Granite – Time-tested outside; excellent strength with periodic sealing.
- Soapstone – Naturally non-porous and chemically tolerant; great for easy-clean prep areas.
- Good to know: Marble/dolomite will patina and can etch outdoors—best as accents away from heavy spill/acid zones. Engineered quartz is generally not for exterior use unless labeled outdoor-rated by the manufacturer.
Design details that make everyday use better
- Appliance integration: Grill heads, smokers/Kamados, side burners, sinks, fridges, trash, and storage—fit to factory templates.
- Smart layout: Prep on both sides of the grill, landing space, raised serve ledge or bar seating,
wind/sun orientation. - Edges & safety: Eased or micro-bevel edges; radius corners that are kid-friendly and chip-resistant.
- Power & lighting: Flush grommets, under-counter lighting, tidy cable routing.
- Finishes that perform: Honed (low glare) or leathered (adds grip, hides fingerprints); polished where
desired.
Built for the Rockies, not just the catalog
- Freeze–thaw smart: Correct substrates, slope-to-drain, expansion joints, and outdoor-rated mortars/adhesives.
- Heat management: Thermal isolation and strict manufacturer clearances near burners and ovens.
- Seal & care: Premium penetrating sealer + simple pH-neutral cleaning. Avoid de-icing salts on stone.

I had a great experience working with Lion Stone Works to get new countertops in my kitchen. The project was a tricky one because my house is old and quirky — the team at Lion Stone Works was meticulous and paid attention to every detail, making it look like there were never any quirks in the first place! I couldn’t be happier with the work they did and the professionalism they demonstrated the entire duration of the project. Thank you all!

Jorge and Liz are amazing! This is a family business, and these two are so great to work with! Their assistance in selection was amazing. Liz dropped everything to help me come to a quick decision and to take me to look at slabs. In the end, they had a beautiful piece of Taj Mahal, which I am so glad I went with. Their attention to detail, along with my unusual requests for the shape of the splash was embraced and happily accommodated. Liz was excited and knowledgeable about helping me with my project- I stopped by their showroom on a whim, and I am so glad I did. (She is also one of the funniest people I’ve ever met!) I am looking forward to doing more rooms in my house with them. Thank you for the great work you do!

Lion Stone Works did an excellent job replacing our countertops and installing a new backsplash in our kitchen. We received a few different quotes and they were the most affordable. Liz, Tony, and team were great to work with and excellent communicators at every step of the way. I would definitely recommend working with Lion Stone
