Masonry
Handcrafted stone and brick work built to stand for generations
About Our Masonry Work
Masonry is the craft at the heart of outdoor construction. We build outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, retaining walls, columns, pillars, and decorative stone veneer using natural stone, manufactured stone, and brick. Every masonry project is built on a proper footing, laid with the right mortar mix, and finished to look like it's always been there.
Our masons are experienced with dry-stack and mortared natural stone, manufactured stone veneer, brick, and CMU block. Outdoor fireplaces require a proper footing, firebox dimensions, and flue sizing — we handle the design and permitting. Retaining walls in natural stone or boulder are engineered for the load and drainage. We also do stone veneer on existing structures — columns, planters, and home exteriors.

Type S mortar for exterior applications — freeze-thaw rated
Stone Types
