Company History

• For over forty years Hillside has provided quality granite products to its customers. Founded in 1954 by President Edmond Carbonneau, the company initially operated a wire saw plant, provided slabs cut from rough blocks to Barre’s memorial manufacturers. In 1973, Edmond’s son Randy joined Hillside. Three years later the company moved to its present manufacturing plant. Due to steadily growing customer demand, a 10' diameter diamond saw was installed in 1980, and polishing equipment was added in 1983.

• Hillside accelerated its product diversification in 1985, the year Sarah joined her father and brother. They introduced a variety of architectural products for business applications, including cut-to-size stone for building facades, steps, pavers and other custom granite products. CarbonCraft countertops in a wide variety of styles and granites were also offered to retailers and homeowners throughout New England.
• In 1990 Hillside added an 11' 6" diamond saw, greatly increasing its sawing capacity. With the acquisition of Grearson & Lane in 1995, Hillside significantly increased its ability to fabricate a larger variety of shaped stone products.
• Hillside is well-positioned to build on its exceptional reputation for quality stone work. As a family owned and operated company, we are committed to many more generations of service. If you are not already a Hillside customer, we hope you will give us the opportunity to serve you in the future.
