There are multiple ways of creating your stone and brick patios. CONTACT US and allow us to make this addition to your home an easy one. Just look at our reviews as well as a small gallery of our many patio projects throughout Atlanta and North Atlanta, GA.

The Difference!

We are going to go into slight detail regarding the difference between having a solid concrete pad under your new flagstone or brick masonry patio versus having what many companies offer as just a bed of compacted "sand" and granite sand. The correct way, speaking as master masons, is to have a concrete pad or substrate installed with a minimum thickness of 4". This offers an extremely structurally sound base or slab which when using a 3500 psi concrete allows for a long lasting patio. When we put the flagstone, brick, etc. on top with the mortar it bonds to the concrete and becomes inseparable. We also create a slight angle of the patio (not easily seen with the naked eye) so when it rains or if you’re washing it off the water will drain accordingly. We never condone using polymeric sand for joints or substrates of sand and crushed granite. Using sand doesn’t create a solid base at all! You’re flagstone will break from the sand shifting underneath. Also the sand will washout over time from the elements. Sand and crushed granite is not a solid base like concrete by any means. What is your home on? Sand? Or a concrete pad? Imagine if your home was built on sand footings versus concrete footings.

Time to create the patio!

After that last question what are you thinking now? Using a concrete substrate/ slab under your patio is the way to go! If you’re ready to have a patio to last for years and years all you have to do is to contact us through our easy to use “CONTACT FORM”. We will contact you within 24 hours to confirm your consultation. From then on we will help you through-out the whole process! We work on a first come first serve basis and our crew does not leave your project until it’s completed! We look forward to hearing from you and showing you what 30+ years of experience can “bring to the table”.

OUTDOOR STONE AND BRICK FIREPLACE COMPANY

If you don’t already have an outdoor stone or brick fireplace it’s time to get one! Outdoor fireplaces are what we call the "WOW Factor" within your outdoor living space. From a functional point of view they create warmth so you can still enjoy the outdoors and entertaining on cooler evenings! Even during the warmer months you can create a small fire within the fireplace to create a pleasant backdrop. ARNOLD Masonry has been creating outdoor stone and brick fireplaces since 1985! Yes that’s 31 years! Our service areas include but not limited to; Buckhead, Marietta, Roswell, North Atlanta, Vinings,Cumming, Johns Creek. We even go out of state depending on the size of the project! A lot of companies build there fireplaces differently. So one of the main questions a lot of our clients ask is “How do you build your fireplaces?” Well this blog is going to give you insight of how we build our outdoor stone and brick fireplaces!

HOW DO WE CONSTRUCT A STONE OR BRICK FIREPLACE?

All of our outdoor fireplaces are custom designed and constructed. We start off either on an existing patio, or a patio we are currently constructing for you. This would include us adding additional structural support to the footing which consists of steel rebar tied together within the concrete. Then after letting the concrete cure for at least 24 hours we start to build the “skeleton” of the fireplace / chimney. Outdoor stone and brick fireplaces are custom built so any shape or size is possible. There are many types of materials available as well. Within the firebox we install hardened full sized fire brick which can withstand the hottest fire imaginable! Then we move to the outside of the fireplace. We install the brick or stone of your choosing along with the specific custom design. Another amazing addition is a hearth! It allows for additional seating or a ledge to put various objects on. Then when everything is done the final step is to let all of the mortar cure which usually only takes a day or two! After its done curing you can make your first fire in a new stone or brick fireplace!

NEW OUTDOOR FIREPLACE!

Imagine sitting in front your new outdoor fireplace with your family and friends enjoying the fire and fun! Enjoying a nice glass of wine…maybe a beer or two? Enjoying dinner as well? Well if you can see yourself doing that all you have to do is contact us! Either by our Contact Form by clicking HERE or by calling our office at 770-345-2686. We look forward to constructing your new outdoor stone or brick fireplace!

LIVING ROOM

In most houses and homes the first main room you see is the living room! So why not make you, your family and friends say “WOW!” when they walk into your newly renovated living room? One of the key features in a living room is the fireplace! If you’re thinking about remodeling your living room at all start at your fireplace! Another great option is to add some flair to your walls. There are plenty of options as with synthetic stone and brick and their use in creating custom columns, arches, walls and more. The materials we suggest depends on if your living room is on your ground floor or first floor. You have to remember about the weight that will be added to the structural supports of your home when you renovate ANY room.

BASEMENT

The basement is an amazing place to update and renovate! There are endless options when it comes to your basement. Do you want a “man cave”? Or maybe a play room for your children? A craft area maybe? Or think big….a custom bar with a wine cellar? The options for your basement are only limited to your imagination.If you can think of it we can build it! If you need help with design and materials,we can also help with that. That’s what 30+ years does….knowledge and perfection! Don’t forget a custom theater room can also be added.
