Stone and block work for outdoor fireplaces, pillars, seat walls, steps and borders, built to tie in with the patio and landscape around it.
Masonry is where a hardscape gets its character. At Peters’ Patio and Landscape, our masonry work is focused on the landscape: outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, seating walls and pillars, stone and block steps, wall caps and natural stone borders.
We work with both natural stone and manufactured block and veneer. Natural stone gives a heavier, one-of-a-kind look. Manufactured units come in consistent sizes and colors that match the pavers on your patio. On many projects we use both, such as a block seat wall finished with a natural stone cap.
Outdoor masonry in Minnesota has to handle water and frost. We build on a compacted base, plan for drainage behind and under every wall, and use materials rated for freeze and thaw, so joints stay tight and caps stay put.
Because the same crew builds the patio, walls and fire feature, the stonework is planned together with the rest of the space instead of being added afterward.
We start by walking the space with you and talking through how it will be used: where people will sit, how close a fireplace can be to the house, and how the stone should look next to your siding and patio. Then we bring material samples and a plan.
Masonry often goes in as part of a larger hardscaping or outdoor living project, but pillars, caps and steps can also be a project on their own.
