Indoor/Outdoor Fireplaces and Chimneys

Fireplaces add physical warmth as well as a warm design aesthetic both inside and out. They create a focal point and gathering place, whether they’re in a cozy den or on an outdoor patio. Chimneys are extremely heavy, so it’s imperative that they be well constructed. If your chimney shows of degradation, it should be properly repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise, it could be at risk of collapsing, which poses a serious safety hazard to people as well as property.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are ideal in yards that have steep slopes, since they can be terraced. They help create separate areas in your yard for specific functions, and smaller walls are attractive options for patios and gardens. You can choose materials such as stones or concrete blocks in a wide variety of shapes and colors to give your wall a personal touch.

Stone or Brick Siding or Veneers

Stone or brick can add architectural interest and warmth to your home’s appearance. Used as an accent, it gives your home an instant upgrade that’s durable and virtually maintenance-free.

Patios

A stone patio will stand the test of time, lasting far longer than a wooden deck and requiring far less maintenance. The material will hold up much better over time than wood, which can rot or warp after being exposed to the elements year after year. This type of attractive outdoor area is sure to become a focal point for entertaining or outdoor cooking, as well as a place for the family to gather.

Walkways and Driveways

Walkways and driveways can be as attractive as they are functional, but they need to be kept in good repair. Cracks and loose bricks or other materials can create a hazard for your family as well as a liability issue if a visitor is injured. A walkway in the front of your home adds to curb appeal and provides a clear path for visitors. In your backyard, it can connect your home to your patio, garden, or other areas, creating a seamless outdoor design.
