AJ Barndt: The Montana Craftsman

AJ Barndt hails from the rugged landscapes of Montana, where wide-open spaces and a hardworking ethos shaped his early years. Growing up in a family that valued craftsmanship and a strong connection to nature, AJ learned the art of building and creating from an early age. His roots run deep in the traditions of country living, where practicality and quality are as essential as a good pair of boots.

Before bringing his talents to Texas Timber and Stone, AJ honed his skills working on various construction projects across the Montana plains. His journey to Texas was driven by a desire to blend his love for traditional craftsmanship with the vibrant and evolving landscape of backyard design. AJ's Montana upbringing instilled in him a respect for both the land and the importance of building something that lasts. His dedication to quality and creativity is the backbone of every project we undertake.
