From Slabs to Masterpieces
English Marble & Granite, a Las Vegas-based stone fabrication company, has grown from a small garage workshop into a leader in high-end stonework. Founded by Ryan English in 2005, the company thrives on craftsmanship, advanced Flow waterjet technology, and a commitment to safety and sustainability. Serving luxury resorts and homeowners, they stand out for precision, efficiency, and innovation in the industry.
English Marble & Granite
English Marble & Granite is a family-owned stone fabrication company serving Southern Nevada since 2005. They specialize in custom marble, granite, and quartz surfaces, blending craftsmanship with advanced technology to deliver high-end designs for homes and businesses.
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, English Marble & Granite has carved out a reputation for excellence in stone fabrication. From high-end celebrity homes to iconic commercial properties, their work is a testament to craftsmanship, innovation, and the transformative power of Flow’s waterjet technology.
Ryan English began his journey into stone fabrication in 1991 when a funny turn of events landed him a job at a ‘marble shop.’ Little did he know, this would mean the beginning of a lifelong career in stone fabrication. Starting at a local tile company as a fabricator, Ryan worked his way up, eventually becoming shop foreman and field supervisor.

In 2002, he bought a bridge saw and built a 5,000 square foot detached garage workshop for countertops in his free time. By 2005, he’d founded English Marble & Granite – turning his side hustle into a full-fledged business. With no paid advertising and using only word-of-mouth, Ryan built a company grounded in integrity and quality.
“He always did what he said he was going to do,” says Wyatt English, Ryan’s son and current Operations Manager. “That reputation is what helped us grow.”
Despite economic downturns, including the 2008 recession, just after purchasing their first building, English Marble & Granite continued to expand. They acquired additional buildings in 2012 and 2018 to meet their growing demand. Today, they service a diverse clientele, from luxury resorts on the Las Vegas Strip to everyday homeowners.

Their niche? Intricate, high-end stonework that’s made possible by state-of-the-art technology.
They operate two Flow waterjets: a 2006 Integrated Flying Bridge (IFB) and a 2021 Mach 500. The IFB, a legacy system, still operates 8-10 hours a day alongside the Mach 500, proving its durability and reliability. “It’s a tank,” Wyatt says. “It’s a workhorse that’s been running daily for over a decade.”
Their Mach 500, purchased for its advanced mitering capabilities, opened new doors for their business. From exotic materials and complex designs to ultra-precise book matching, the machine enables fabrication that few others in the region can match. “The Mach 500 changed everything,” Wyatt explains. “We’re able to do things now that weren’t even possible a few years ago.”

Wyatt, who started part-time in 2015 and full-time in 2018, now oversees programming and day-to-day operations. “We’re probably one of the most efficient shops in the country when it comes to material usage,” he explained. To manage inventory and minimize waste, the company uses Slabsmith and SlabCloud. Their system is so efficient that they’re able to sell remnants through their own platform, StoneRemnants.Vegas, and it has given them an additional avenue to help other fabricators and DIYers.
While stone is their specialty, English Marble & Granite has cut everything from titanium to plastic. “We’ve cut everything,” Wyatt said. “Waterjet technology makes it possible. We’ve even cut materials for our own personal aviation projects.” In the early days, Ryan would take on any project – stone or not – and it helped make them known as the go-to shop in their area.

But what sets them apart from other stone fabricators? Their commitment to safety and environmental responsibility in an industry where dry cutting is still common. Their shop runs a closed-loop water system and prioritizes wet fabrication to avoid harmful silica dust and prevent additional mess at installation sites. Everything is inventoried, measured perfectly, and cut in-house. Their process is a huge factor in their popularity; they’re known for their attention to detail and no-nonsense work.
With space constraints and growing slab sizes, expansion may be on the distant horizon. But one thing is certain: a Flow waterjet will remain a cornerstone of their success. “It’s not just the machine – it’s the people. The service is incredible. We’re never down long. Our system is kept clean and maintained to make sure we run smoothly. We’re at the forefront of stone cutting technology…and Flow is a big part of that.”
