As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we want to recognize and thank the incredible women of PMG, Patten Monument Group.
From administration and design to management, manufacturing, and family service, their dedication, skill, and care help shape the work we do every day. In an industry that has historically been male-dominated, we are proud of the many women who play such important roles across our company.
We also know it takes every member of our team. Our work is strongest when everyone contributes their talents and we move forward together.
We are grateful to the women who paved the way—and proud of the remarkable women of PMG who continue that legacy today.

So exciting to be part of this!

Patten Monument's work extends beyond cemetery gravestones.
Our latest work with the Rotblatt Amrany studio out of Chicago is the base for the Pat Riley Statue which was recently unveiled.
We are incredibly proud of the quality and beauty of this work, and of all of our teams at Patten Monument and Great Lakes Granite Works for their dedication to their craft.

Timeless it is! Beautiful!

Continuing the 'Color of the Year' discussion, we look at the Pittsburg Paint selection.
This Pittsburgh Paints® Warm Mahogany pairs beautifully with natural stone and quartzite selections that add depth, texture, and permanence.
Do you think this color will trend for 2026?

Are similar tones preferable to contrast?

When the palette stays close, the details do the talking.
Layering neutrals with similar quartzite tones creates a look that’s seamless, elevated, and quietly confident. Subtle shifts in movement, veining, and finish bring dimension without distraction.

This week we are exploring color trends.🎨

Pair high-contrast stone with PANTONE® Color of the Year?
Think depth, movement, and materials that do more than fill a space—they define it. These slab pairings are designed to push the palette just far enough. Because contrast is where things get interesting.

Are we talking about PANTONE® Color of the Year?
Of course we are.

This year’s neutral is anything but basic. It’s a sophisticated backdrop that invites texture, contrast, and unexpected pairings—especially in solid surface and stone.

We’re kicking off a series exploring how this shade can be layered and elevated. From subtle statements to bold combinations, neutral becomes anything but.

Stay tuned—next week we’re sharing a few of our favorite pairings.
And yes… we have opinions. And of course... we want yours.
