Stone masonry is a classic choice for homes and properties throughout Atlanta. Whether it’s a custom fireplace in a Buckhead home, a stone retaining wall in Midtown, or restoring a historic façade in Grant Park, masonry projects require expert planning, skilled craftsmanship, and attention to detail. At Legendary Masonry – Atlanta, GA, we provide high-quality stonework that enhances the beauty and durability of your space, whether you’re starting fresh or restoring what time and weather have worn down.
Initial Site Assessment and Planning
The process starts with a comprehensive site visit to evaluate the scope of the project. If you’re installing new masonry, our team assesses the terrain, surrounding architecture, and functionality of the area. For repairs, we carefully inspect the damage—such as loose or cracked stones, deteriorating mortar joints, or shifting foundations.
We also discuss your design goals, whether you want to match an existing structure or create a new focal point with custom stonework. Our team helps you navigate choices in stone type, texture, and color to suit your style and perform well in Atlanta’s humid, often rainy climate.
Choosing Materials and Finalizing Design
Atlanta’s homes reflect a mix of historic charm and modern elegance, and your stonework should match that aesthetic. We work with natural and manufactured stones like limestone, granite, slate, and fieldstone to complement your architecture—whether it’s a colonial-style home in Druid Hills or a modern build in West Midtown.
For installations, we help design layouts that are both functional and beautiful. For repairs, we source matching stone and mortar to seamlessly restore the structure. We also ensure that materials are locally available and suited to Georgia’s climate for long-term durability.
Preparing the Area and Building the Foundation
Before installation begins, we prepare the site by removing any existing materials and leveling the area. In the case of new walls, patios, or walkways, we often pour concrete footings to support the weight of the stone and protect against soil shifting—a common issue in areas like Decatur and East Atlanta due to clay-heavy ground.
In repair scenarios, we remove compromised sections, clean the surrounding stone, and prepare the base for replacement. Our focus is not just on aesthetics but also on structural integrity to ensure your masonry stands firm for decades to come.
Professional Installation or Expert Repair
During a new stone installation, our experienced masons lay each stone with care, following your design’s specifications and maintaining precise alignment and spacing. Mortar is applied where necessary to secure the stones, and patterns are checked throughout the process for consistency and visual appeal.
If your project is a repair, we remove damaged stone or deteriorated mortar and replace it with carefully matched materials. This includes repointing joints to strengthen the structure and prevent further water intrusion or surface degradation.
We also use protective measures to control dust and debris, especially in areas close to landscaping or entryways. From retaining walls and chimneys to steps and patios, every element is installed or repaired with skill and attention to detail.
Finishing Touches and Cleanup
Once the masonry is in place, we clean the stone surfaces and joints to remove excess mortar and debris. If needed, we apply sealants to enhance water resistance, especially in outdoor structures where heavy rains and humidity are common in Atlanta.
Before we leave, we walk through the finished work with you to ensure you’re satisfied and answer any questions about maintenance. We’ll also give you care tips to preserve your stonework’s appearance and performance over time.
