Travertine Stone Patio and Fireplace

One of the standout features of this project is the custom travertine stone patio that surrounds the pool. The patio exudes elegance and durability, perfectly suited for the outdoor environment. In addition to the patio, a striking brick and ivory buff colored mortar outdoor fireplace and chimney take center stage.

The chimney measures approximately 18 feet in height and 7 feet in width, serving as a dramatic focal point. It’s designed for both aesthetics and functionality, featuring a custom-built 48-inch-wide firebox with full-sized firebrick. This fireplace promises cozy evenings by the fire, making it a fantastic addition to the outdoor living space for all seasons year round!

Wood Storage Boxes and Future Pavilion

To further enhance the practicality and charm of the area, two wood storage boxes have been seamlessly incorporated on each side of the chimney. These boxes not only provide convenient storage for firewood but also add symmetry and balance to the design.

Looking to the future, a wood pavilion is planned for this 25′ x 25′ travertine patio, with the gable side facing the chimney. This addition promises shade and comfort, making it a magnificent prospect for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.

Your outdoor living space is an extension of your home—and when thoughtfully designed, it becomes a place where you can relax, entertain, and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant stone patio, a fully integrated outdoor kitchen, or a lush garden sanctuary, choosing the right landscape company in Atlanta can make or break your outdoor makeover project. With countless landscaping companies across the greater Atlanta and North Atlanta areas, how do you know which one to trust with your vision? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through seven crucial factors to consider when selecting a landscape contractor. Whether you’re looking for masonry expertise, full-service design and installation, or specialized hardscaping, these insights will help you find a company that delivers exceptional results—and a seamless customer experience. Clear communication ensures that both parties are on the same page regarding project expectations and outcomes. 1. UNDERSTAND YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE NEEDS Define Your Outdoor Living Goals Before embarking on an outdoor makeover project, it’s essential to define your outdoor living goals. What do you want to achieve with your outdoor space? Do you envision a relaxing oasis, an entertainment hub, or a functional area for outdoor cooking and dining? Identifying your goals will help you determine the best course of action for your project. Consider the following questions to help you define your outdoor living goals: How do you plan to use your outdoor space? What activities do you want to enjoy in your outdoor space? What style or aesthetic do you want to achieve with your outdoor space? What is your budget for the project? By answering these questions, you’ll be able to create a clear vision for your outdoor space and make informed decisions throughout the design and construction process. Assess Your Property’s Unique Challenges Every property has its unique challenges, and it’s essential to assess these challenges before starting your outdoor makeover project. Consider the following factors: Climate and weather conditions Soil type and drainage Sunlight and shade patterns Wind direction and speed Neighboring properties and noise levels Local building codes and regulations By understanding your property’s unique challenges, you can design and build an outdoor space that is functional, safe, and beautiful. 2. LOOK FOR A FULL-SERVICE LANDSCAPE DESIGN & BUILD COMPANY Not all landscaping companies are created equally. Some simply mow lawns and plant shrubs, while others—like Arnold Masonry and Landscape —offer comprehensive design-build landscaping services that cover everything from initial consultation to final installation. When you choose a full-service provider, you benefit from: A unified team managing every phase of the project A streamlined design process with fewer delays or miscommunications Greater accountability and quality control A design that seamlessly integrates hardscapes, softscapes, lighting, and drainage Define Your Outdoor Living Goals When planning your outdoor space, consider how it can be a place for family gatherings and quality time together. Do you want a space for entertaining guests? Are you looking for a peaceful retreat? Enhancing the overall outdoor experience should be a key goal, ensuring your space is both beautiful and functional. Make sure the company you hire offers a cohesive vision and has the experience to bring it to life. 3. PRIORITIZE EXPERIENCE AND LOCAL REPUTATION When investing in a large outdoor project, you want peace of mind knowing the team has the right skills—and a proven track record. Read reviews to understand the company's dedication to quality. Look for a company with decades of experience , especially in custom masonry and landscaping in the Atlanta area. Familiarity with local soil conditions, weather patterns, native plants, and building codes can greatly influence the success of your project. Every job, big or small, receives the same high level of attention and professionalism. For example, Arnold Masonry and Landscape has been a trusted name in Atlanta for over 40 years , providing award-winning craftsmanship and industry-leading service. Their expertise includes everything from custom patios and outdoor fireplaces and kitchens to retaining walls, pavilions, pergolas, and complete landscape transformations. Before committing to any company, be sure to: Check Google reviews and Angi/HomeAdvisor ratings Browse their online portfolio Ask for references or testimonials from past clients
