Avants Stone is
a division of AvantGardens, Inc. We are dedicated to providing
the finest quality porphyry for commercial and residential
applications. We also offer services in hardscape
design, consultation, and expert porphyry installation. Since
1999, owner Kevin Avants has directed a crew of experienced
and highly skilled landscapers, craftsmen, and masons. Design
and installation projects have ranged from the commercial
and public – including Snowmass Ski Resort (Snowmass,
CO); Santa Fe Horse Park and Polo Grounds, the Thornburg Campus,
and the Saint Francis of Assisi Cathedral Labyrinth (Santa
Fe, NM) – to the more intimate-scale residential drives,
paths, and walls. |

With a degree in Horticulture/Agronomy
and studies in Architecture, Kevin Avants founded Avants Gardening
& Design in 1988 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1999, after
re-naming the business AvantGardens, Inc., he shifted his focus
from garden design, estate maintenance, and greenhouse production
to landscape design, land restoration, hardscaping and stonework. |

"While travels abroad
in Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, and Mexico reinforced my
understanding of the historical significance of porphyry,
my hands-on relationship with the stone began with restoration
of roads and pathways. Porphyry quickly became my preference
when replacing deteriorating asphalt, concrete, brick, and
less durable stones.” – Kevin Avants |
