Dear Friends and Neighbors,
This year, Benson Stone Company is honored to celebrate an incredible milestone: 95 years as a family business right here in Rockford!
Our story is a testament to the American spirit. Our founder, M. Howard Benson, first opened shop in 1930 at the start of the Great Depression. He relied on simple, common-sense values and believed that by providing quality craftsmanship at an affordable price, his family would have the recipe for lasting success. We’re proud to say that he was right.

Time-Honored Values
Over the years, our family business expanded from a simple stone-cutting shop to an iconic home design destination. Today, Benson Stone Company is a long-standing fixture of the Rockford community, and we’re so proud to call this place home.
For over nine decades, we have upheld our reputation by focusing on these time-honored family values:
- Expertise: Our award-winning staff includes designers, craftsmen, and home experts—many of whom have been in the industry for decades—to smoothly guide your projects and make the most of your home.
- Affordability: Our priority is to provide you with quality craftsmanship that fits your budget. We save a ton on costs thanks to our affordable neighborhood location, and we pass those savings along to you. So, when you shop with us, you can bring home higher-quality products for a lower price than the big box stores.

Continuing the Legacy
As we enter the fifth generation of our family business, we’re reminded of how much we have to be grateful for. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your continued trust and for allowing the Benson family to be a part of your home for nearly a century.
We invite you to celebrate our legacy with us!
Your Friends at Benson Stone Company
