The work we're known for

Fire, stone, and a place to gather.

Half of what Scott builds ends up being the reason the family stays outside until midnight — a wood-fired pizza oven, an outdoor kitchen with a stacked-stone bar, a fireplace that throws heat onto the back patio in February. We hand-cut every face, dry-fit the lead stones, and build the firebox to draw clean. No veneer shortcuts, no subbed-out crews.

What we build

One mason. Every stone trade.

A true stone mason — not an outdoor-living franchise. From a single fireplace re-face to a full stone home, the same hands that set the first course set the last. Free on-site estimate on every one.

S01

Wood-Fired Pizza Ovens

Brick-dome, wood-fired ovens built to reach and hold heat — cured slow so they draw clean and bake true. The centerpiece of more Hill Country backyards than we can count.

Free on-site estimate
S02

Outdoor Kitchens

Stone-clad islands, built-in grills, stone countertops, storage and bar seating — designed to entertain and built to survive Texas summers and freeze-thaw winters.

Free on-site estimate
S03

Indoor & Outdoor Fireplaces

Full firebox masonry, stacked-stone surrounds, mantels and chimneys that actually draw. Re-face a tired brick fireplace or build one from the footing up.

Free on-site estimate
S04

Patios & Walkways

Hand-laid flagstone patios, garden paths and entertaining areas — top-grade stone, tight joints, set on a base built to stay flat for decades.

Free on-site estimate
S05

Retaining & Privacy Walls

Engineered stone retaining walls that hold a slope, plus decorative and privacy walls that frame a property with strength and beauty.

Free on-site estimate
S06

Stone Entryways & Steps

Columns, mailboxes, entry features and stone steps — the first thing a guest touches, built to match the architecture it greets.

Free on-site estimate
S07

Fire Pits & Water Features

Gathering fire pits and quiet stone fountains and water features — sound-tuned, built into the landscape, lit for the evening.

Free on-site estimate
S08

Dry-Stack & Stone Homes

True dry-stack stone, full stone-home veneer, brick, block and stucco. Old-world technique on a modern build.

Free on-site estimate
S09

Restoration & Matching

Experts at matching existing work. We blend new stone into old so a repair or addition disappears — the hardest skill in the trade, and the one we're known for.

The stone yard

Six stones we know by hand.

The mason · since 1982

Forty-three years, one trowel.

Scott Bonniwell apprenticed under the Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Union, Local No. 2, and laid his first custom stone in 1982. Four decades later he still walks every job, sets the lead stones himself, and meets clients at the yard to pick the block. When a review says "Scott went out of his way," that's not marketing — that's the company.

Today a tight four-craftsman crew carries 60-plus years of combined experience onto every site, working out of the shop on York Creek Road in Driftwood and traveling the Hill Country to wherever the stone needs to go.
