Whether you’re thinking of giving your existing outdoor living space a posh makeover or turning your ho-hum patio or pool area into a backyard oasis, we’ve got a few ideas that will help turn your daydreams into a reality.
The Coolest Pool in Your Neighborhood
If your goal is to create a vacation paradise in your own backyard, then enhancing your pool and patio area with artistic masonry features can make all the difference. Here are a few ideas for your consideration:
• Create a raised or recessed patio
• Create a stamped concrete pool deck and border to replace old concrete
• Build a natural stone or brick privacy wall
• Add a natural stone water feature
• Stone hardscapes and sitting walls
Don’t Just Cook – Turn Up the Heat
Outdoor fireplaces, custom fire pits and outdoor kitchens are appearing in more patios and backyard living areas than ever before. Whether you’re looking to enhance your grilling area, or take your backyard to a whole new level with a custom outdoor kitchen, here’s a list of ideas for you to consider.
• A large custom outdoor kitchen including a refrigerator, sink, granite counter space, stamped decorative concrete floor, and more
• A stand-alone outdoor fireplace with a built-in pizza oven
• A custom BBQ grill with a stone masonry or other natural materials base
• A custom stone or brick fire pit with built-in seating area
Walls, Fences, and Masons
Why have merely a functional retaining wall, sitting wall, or privacy fence using common pavers when you can gaze upon the beauty and true artistry that old-world, skilled masons can provide? If you're tired of seeing ho-hum pavers used by landscapers for these types of projects, consider having your projects created by brick or stone masonry contractors for that custom look.
• Privacy walls and fences
• Decorative retaining walls
• Stone sitting walls
• Stone and brick pillars and piers
