Decades of Earned Trust
Comprehensive Custom Design for Extraordinary Homes
Any comprehensive landscape architecture design will include artistic hardscape. This core work often includes patios, walkways and steps, retaining walls, stone seating for firepits, kitchen bars, and more, and it is critical to crafting the character of your landscape. We’ll help you select the perfect pavers, brick, or natural stone for your project. This plan includes not just the color palette, but also size, shape, and pattern, borders, and transitions of the layout.
When you work with the professional architects at Arnold Masonry & Landscape, your paver installations won’t be the prefabricated grids common to mass-market work. We only design and implement custom compositions. Your plan will commit the utmost attention to patterns, borders, and transitions so that every surface looks and feels truly intentional. Each stone or brick is laid with care by craftsmen with decades of work experience, resulting in hardscapes that enchant and inspire.
When our custom projects are complete, customers are always impressed with how the final look is an integrated, harmonic flow from home to existing landscape features to the new construction. This is the result of careful and professional planning based on decades of knowledge and experience. Every choice is yours, but guided by a professional eye to achieve a sophisticated architecture that is timeless and enduring.
An outdoor fireplace with its majestic chimney or a cozy firepit are both major focal points of the design and final architecture of any outdoor living space. These features define a space, so they must also reflect not only the character of the home, but also the lifestyle of the homeowner.
Whether you choose gas or wood burning, stone or brick, traditional or contemporary design, your master mason architect at Arnold Masonry & Landscape will ensure your new fire feature has the “wow” factor you’re looking for. Artistry and grace are just as much a part of fireplace architecture as function, and there won’t be any shortage of style when you come to our landscape architects to create your design. Your new fire feature will also blend and flow with ease from your home to your patio or walkway to other parts of your garden in an integrated and cohesive plan.
When the work is done correctly, fireplaces and firepits also perform like champions and last for decades. This is where the right choices in design and construction make all the difference. Fireplaces require appropriate firebox-to-chimney ratios. Chimney height and flue sizing must be precise to avoid poor drafting or smoke blowback. Your experienced professional landscape architect at Arnold Masonry & Landscape will ensure that not only are all the technical requirements kept in check, but your new fireplace or firepit will look smashing while doing it.
Outdoor Kitchens & Grills
It’s not news that outdoor kitchens and grills have become immensely popular, especially in urban areas like Atlanta and suburbs such as Milton, Alpharetta, Marietta, and Roswell. Our area has many months out of the year for you to bring indoor hospitality outside with these sophisticated additions to your overall landscape. Whether it’s a quiet night of family dining on the patio or feeding a crowd for a special event, a new outdoor kitchen is sure to deliver years of fond memories.
Outdoor kitchens and grills have two primary requirements. First, it must be functional or the space will not get used. Your new outdoor kitchen design will account for the space allotted, the functionality it needs to deliver, and the number of guests you expect to use it. Many urban outdoor kitchens include not just grills, but also refrigerators, microwaves, ice makers, sinks, and even dishwashers. We’ll make sure your plan covers all your requirements in a way that flows and functions.
Second, your new outdoor kitchen and grill space also needs to be pleasing to the eye and hit all the style points your family loves. Arnold Masonry & Landscape ensures both points are met to meet and exceed your standards. We’ll ensure the overall design, whether that’s traditional, contemporary, rustic, European countryside, Mediterranean, or any other style gets reflected in the final product. Custom countertops, integrated storage, appliances that flow seamlessly into the design, pizza ovens, seating walls, and more are all part of the careful planning that creates stunning results.
Patios & Masonry Decks
Both patios and masonry decks have their place in a quality landscape design. They can be crafted from brick, pavers, or natural stone depending on the final look and feel you’re aiming for and the material the rest of your existing hardscapes are made from. Edges can be softened or defined according to the architecture of your home, and patterns are arranged with precision to please the eye and create balance. The result is a new surface unified with your legacy landscape rather than simply laid over it.
Your home deserves a solid foundation. With the attention to detail and dedicated craftsmanship that Arnold Masonry & Landscape brings, your patio or deck will be as structurally sound as it is visually attractive. Our artisans are meticulous in practice when it comes to base preparation, mortar composition, and joint alignment to go the extra mile to craft patios that will not shift or settle over time. You can relax and entertain in a state of confidence knowing your space was built by craftsman who approach all projects as if they were doing the work on their own home.
Swimming Pool Decks & Renovation
In addition to decks with slip-resistant natural stone, high-quality pavers, or custom masonry blends, your new pool architecture can include a plethora of breathtaking features. Imagine fountains and spillways, waterfalls, integrated deck terraces, custom stone coping, boulders, and under-coping or recessed lighting that keeps your pool shining, day or night. Functional elements like knee walls that double as seating or visual borders around the deck ensure no one is left out of the action.
For the design and renovation of an existing pool area, Arnold Masonry & Landscape approaches the work with the same dedication as new construction. Outdated concrete decks are no problem, as they can be transformed into elegant stone or brick that complements your home’s architecture and the surrounding patios and landscaping. Why not reimagine coping, add integrated seating walls, or enhance the visual flow between pool, garden, and outdoor living areas? Your renovation will provide a stunning before and after transformation.
Decorative Retaining Walls
Your new retaining wall should blend with your existing landscape elements that you want to keep, as well as fit with the style of your home. This takes professional planning, an eye for design, and a knowledge base that comes from decades of practice. This is what Arnold Masonry & Landscape offers. If you need your retaining wall to carry a particular style, color palette, repeating patterns, or other crucial style elements, we’ll ensure your design hits the mark.
Retaining walls help define spaces, guide traffic, and enhance the beauty of a space. They are also essential for achieving terracing, garden levels, transitions, and of course, holding back the earth where needed. Walls can be crafted from stacked fieldstone, hand-laid brick in a wide variety of colors and textures, granite, and many other options that suit your style and fit your property. A consultation with a professional landscape architect can help you determine the materials that will create the plan for a just-right look, so contact Arnold Masonry & Landscape today to get started.
Stairs, Steps & Stoops
When you engage a professional landscape architect, you bring in the expertise that creates breathtaking transitions, magical pathways, and majestic entrances that engage the mind and offer a permanent foundation for years to come. Arnold Masonry & Landscape has been creating grand architecture for fine north Atlanta homes for decades, including stairs, steps, and stoops that continue to serve all these years later.
In addition to choosing the right materials for these types of projects, whether that’s brick, natural stone, or personalized blends, it is essential for the proportions and step levels to be balanced and safe. Landscape architects should always consider elevation, approach, sightlines, drainage needs, and lighting to ensure every step feels natural, is visually connected to the surrounding hardscape design, and is safe to traverse in a variety of weather conditions. Step height is always intentional, measured, cut and set with precision, creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing experience.
Columns & Entrances
Simply put, columns are regal. They draw the eye up, showcasing homes in a way that really does make a house feel like a castle. Whether flanking a driveway, accenting a courtyard, or anchoring a garden wall, columns should be designed to harmonize with the surrounding architecture. Arnold Masonry & Landscape ensures that column proportions and materials are chosen with the same meticulous care that defines all of our masonry work projects. Stone or brick can be blended to flow with your home’s exterior, while fine details, custom caps, lanterns, or ironwork add a look of distinction and refinement.
Entrances are transitional design elements. They are thresholds between the public and the personal aspects of a home. Thoughtful and careful planning of walls, gates, and walkways results in a sense of majestic drama or gentle, traditional welcoming, all according to your dream design. Integrated lighting can create subtle drama, casting a soft glow across textured stone as well as allowing safe passage during the darkest hours of the night.
