SOME OF OUR HARDSCAPE YouTube Home Renovation VIDEOS!

                    Have you seen our Atlanta hardscape, masonry and landscape YouTube videos? If not then here’s the link- https://www.youtube.com/user/ARNOLDMasonry  Go check them out! On this exclusive blog we are going to go over our top 3 most popular videos which offer a brief sampling to see what’s happening and what is being created. These will include facets of outdoor living like stone or brick patios, outdoor fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, pavilions, night lighting, and much more!
                    Serving Atlanta and North Atlanta since 1985, we have thousands of projects within our portfolio and many are reflected in our corporate website as well as our advertising and social media partner sites like HOUZZ.com and Angie's List or other sites like Facebook Business and Pinterest. Take some time to review these sites in order to gain some wonderfully, beautiful custom designs and construction project ideas for your own home renovations!  

  

Custom Hardscape and Outdoor Living

                During this video we are creating a whole new outdoor living experience for our fantastic clients.  There are 3 main facets to this project all pulled together by a random patterned gray Crab Orchard flagstone patio. On one side there is a custom outdoor kitchen which has the following: multitude of storage, a sink, an outdoor mini fridge, a separate searer and a 3 burner grill….all enclosed by brick walls with a Pennsylvania Bluestone countertop. In the middle is a custom pavilion to keep you out of rainy weather or hot sun. With the pavilion there is a custom fieldstone Ashlar and brick fireplace with a see-through firebox, which is amazing! The warmth of the double-sided firebox can be felt from everywhere! Finally on the other side there is a dual split stream pondless waterfall which includes an elevated “piece” of the patio…so the water looks like it’s disappearing into patio! The project was then finalized with a complete landscape install.
                 We can go on for days about this amazing project but seeing is believing so we are going to include two video links for you! One is the overall project and another is an up-close video of the pondless waterfall.Enjoy!

   

 Outdoor fireplace, kitchen, pizza oven, and MORE!

                Every little detail counts! These time-lapse videos show the construction of a gorgeous, exquisite and impressive outdoor living combination. When we say outdoor living combination, we mean it! Our client had an existing patio and fireplace but wanted to expand it into an outdoor kitchen, well they definitely got what they wanted! Let’s start with the fireplace, it once was a 6’ ½” tall fireplace which was transformed into a 12’ custom Ozark Ashlar ( dry stack) and Canyon Creek Ashlar( with shadow joint) outdoor stone fireplace with a detailed thin gray Crab Orchard flagstone inlay. The client always wanted a pizza oven, so ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape constructed a similar structure on a slightly smaller scale to balance out the overall scale of the complete creation. Within this structure we installed a Chicago Brick Oven along with a storage area below for clean, dry wood to cook with. What amazingly delicious pizzas! In the middle there is a custom stone insert for a Green Egg smoker. Of course you have to have a sink and outdoor refrigerator as well as a stainless-steel grill. There is also added storage and drawers under the grill and sink so you can store all of your utensils, smoking wood, and charcoal, really anything you need! Included in this is night lighting throughout the property including the backsplash, which tied the chimney and pizza oven together by using the matching thin flagstone feather pattern. Thick Canyon Creek flagstone used for capping and PA Bluestone used for the countertop.
                 There is so much to this project which is why photos and videos are a great way for you to realize the extreme details and design. We even replaced the patio with a gorgeous brown Crab Orchard thick flagstone in an Ashlar pattern and BUFF colored mortar.  We have 2 parts to this time lapse video of the Outdoor Pizza Oven, Kitchen, and Fireplace! ENJOY!

   

The Custom Outdoor Fireplace

               In 30 plus years of business, we have lost count of how many custom constructed outdoor fireplaces we have designed and constructed. They have ranged in all sizes, designs, materials, etc.. This specific stone and brick outdoor fireplace is one prime example of our attention to detail.  The house, leaning towards a French revival design, meant that although we desired to pull in a bit of rustic charm by using a Tennessee Fieldstone ashlar base, we also wanted to tie the brick facade of the existing house into this chimney. As you will see, we placed some of the ashlar stone within the brick facade as well and included a beautiful wood mantle to match the pavilion.
              Overall a gorgeous addition to our client's home and outdoor living enjoyment.
  

AMAZING!

                 These projects mentioned above definitely brought the WOW factor to our clients’ backyards. Your dreams can become reality with ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape. We have been beautifying Atlanta and surrounding areas for 30+ years! What other companies can say that? Seeing is believing so watch our videos and visit our website HERE and check out our blog page too!

What To Consider When Choosing a Masonry Hardscape and Landscape Company


WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A MASONRY HARDSCAPE AND LANDSCAPE COMPANY

Ok, so you have decided that you want to beautify your yard or your house. Possibly a new stone or brick patio, an outdoor fireplace or kitchen, custom landscape, boulder or stone retaining and decorative walls, water features, etc.. The list is quite long. From specific outdoor living elements to complete backyard renovations, yet where are you going to start? There are a lot of ways to find and choose the company for you yet never do a web search and make random calls. research the companies that you have chosen once you have decided on (3) three! More than that and it will become extremely confusing since construction companies vary greatly in not only their abilities but in their pricing and integrity.  The following are what we feel should be your first 3 steps in the process of choosing the correct company for creating your outdoor living elements and projects.
 undefined

1.     Check for Reviews and References

Why would you hire a company/contractor if they didn’t have any references or reviews? Read online reviews from individuals that have had projects completed at their house. See their response about the company and how the process was. You should also go online and do some research on major construction sites like for example; HOUZZ.com or Angieslist.com. and the BBB.  Always read in depth and remember to not just focus on the negative reviews. Notice if there are more negative versus positive reviews and what each client had to say. ALSO, take note to make sure that the review was written by an actual client who experienced the company's business ethics through an actual project or if it just a disgruntled individual who wrote a negative review even though they never hired the company.
undefined

2.     Review/Research the Company’s website ,portfolio and social media

A MUST! Talk to the company (email or call usually) and ask for a portfolio to showcase their work. The easiest way with a reputable company is to check their website for examples of work they have completed. Seeing finished product will help you decide whether or not the company has experience, or can provide the type of service you are searching for. Seeing the different projects can even inspire your own! Take note of specific services available as well as service areas.
undefined

3.     Consider your budget

Definitely determine your budget before starting your search for your company of choice. Different companies will have different rates, but remember cheaper isn’t always better. Some companies may and will be cheaper, which in most cases reflect in the quality of the workmanship. Discussing your budget with a reputable company can be very helpful for both parties since the project would be adjusted in an attempt to come in on budget. ALWAYS seek quotations and never ask for an ESTIMATE. Estimates allow freedom for the price to be adjusted at the end of the project. A firm turnkey quotation is set as a solid price within the contract.
undefined

Summary

                 Hardscaping and Landscaping your property is most definitely a worthwhile investment for your property value as well as personal enjoyment value. Choosing the right company will make all the difference. Following these 3 steps before making a decision will ensure that you end up with the final project/product that you desired and have a wonderful experience throughout.

The Warmth, Fun and Relaxation of your Outdoor Fireplace


Outdoor Fireplaces in Atlanta Georgia!

Atlanta, GA. winters are not known to be terribly cold and when the cold does hit it usually doesn't stick around for very long. With this type of climate in mind, including an outdoor fireplace within your backyard hardscape design will allow you to still enjoy the outdoors, even in the winter! As an Atlanta fireplace contractor, having 30 years of history creating gorgeous fireplaces, indoor and outdoor, from Atlanta to North Atlanta, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Roswell and many other locations, we offer the best in professional quality craftsmanship. We even complete projects out of state depending on size!
 undefined

Finding the right contractor for your outdoor fireplace in Atlanta, GA.

Have you ever hired a contractor that didn't meet your expectations? Have you found that outdoor fireplace, let alone all types of masonry hardscape and landscape pricing quotes and estimates range quite a bit regarding cost? The reason for this is simple. Every contractor or individual you request a price from not only views your project differently yet also has specific goals in mind. Many find ways to cut corners in order to offer a cheaper price. Many use alternative materials which are cheaper or not quality crafted. On the other hand there are many who are just not masters of their trade. Ask them if they are "master masons"! Simply stated, hiring a contractor for your outdoor fireplace, patio, hardscape, landscape or any type of home improvement is not like buying a car. You can go to 3 dealerships to view the same car and then look for the best price knowing it truly is the same vehicle. It doesn't work that way in construction so we always ask our potential clients to research us and whomever they are speaking with in search of the best contractor and project since a company's history and past actions speaks volumes about the company itself. We strive for A+ customer service. We have 100's of reviews on multiple sites. We've won many awards including "Super Service" awards from Angie's List, Houzz.com and Kudzu.com. We are on our 30th year serving Atlanta and North Atlanta and have an amazing history of gorgeous, top quality projects in our portfolio. OH! And the owner is a Master Mason as well! Contact Us
