Outdoor Wood Fireplace

This 5’ wide by 8’ tall Outdoor Wood Fireplace in Rescue, California features poured in place concrete hearth, mantle, and chimney cap with a free standing bar to match, all veneered with flagstone. Full masonry and built to last! In this tight small space we extended the patio, to provide a hardscaped backyard retreat for this custom Outdoor Wood Fireplace and free standing bar. This Outdoor Wood Fireplace is finished off with Autumn Flame natural flagstone veneer, which has acid stained and sealed concrete tops and a nice blended pallet, to bring out the tones in the flagstone. We equipped this Outdoor Wood Fireplace with a 36” real firebrick firebox and damper to choke down the chimney draw and to push out the heat, which conserves the fuel. Equipped with a gas valve and log lighter, this Rescue Wood Fireplace lets you switch to a gas log set at any time.

Water Feature Pool

This Water Feature Pool in Benecia, California, is quite the feature! Composed of a swimming pool and water feature, it is designed to look like a natural waterfall. The chunky masonry of Montana Autumn Gold creates a tumbling slide of water. Full masonry and built to last! The grand water grotto entrance of 5′ wide by 8′ tall expands behind the waterfall. This entrance opens into a large rocky cavern. Designed with seating and a hidden grotto exit, sunbathers relax in this water feature pool. A stone pathway invites all swimmers to exit and enter the stone grotto or climb the masonry stone stairs to the swimming pool water slide. A focal point for any custom masonry Water Feature Pool.

Raised Patio Masonry Retaining Wall

This 6′ tall by 50′ long Raised Patio Masonry Retaining Wall in El Dorado Hills, California was built with masonry cinder blocks. Full masonry and built to last! It was engineered to retain a very steep, unusable, sloping backyard. Acrylic stucco was used to give the Raised Patio Masonry Retaining Wall a vibrant color scheme. A black railing installed on top of the retaining wall follows the shape with style. Coupled with a masonry staircase for easy access, a raised patio provides an extreme view of Folsom Lake. This previously unusable, steep and sloping backyard transformed into a destination to view sunsets over the lake.
