Outdoor Fireplace and Wood Boxes
A full outdoor fireplace with a proper firebox and flue, flanked by stone wood boxes under bluestone counters and set on a bluestone patio.
We serve and realize your landscape and outdoor house projects — stonework, planting, landscape design and restoration. Patios, walkways, veneers and stonewalls, plus the fire-pits, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens and pool decks that make a yard somewhere you actually sit.

A bluestone patio with a full circle inlay set into the field, a round fieldstone fire-pit on the centre and a curved seat wall closing the space off from the woods. Every curve cut on site — the radius is the job.

A full outdoor fireplace with a proper firebox and flue, flanked by stone wood boxes under bluestone counters and set on a bluestone patio.

A long fieldstone retaining wall holding the upper lawn, with in-wall lighting washing the face and mulched beds run along the base.

A wide granite pool deck in mixed-size slabs, radiused around the pool and coping, with a spa surround worked into the same pattern.

Solid granite treads climbing between terraced stone walls, with a bluestone landing at each turn and capped pillars framing the run.

A large bluestone patio off the back of the house, tied in with fieldstone-faced steps and a low wall running along the grade.

Two courses of fieldstone retaining wall stepping the bank back from a new driveway, with planted beds set into the terrace between them.

A two-storey elevation faced in natural stone veneer, cut and fitted around every window and the arched transom over the entry.

A long dry-stack wall in rounded fieldstone, laid without mortar and topped flat so it reads as a level line across the whole lawn.

A sweeping front walk in large-format pavers, banded by a charcoal soldier course cut to follow the curve right up to the porch.

A tumbled cobble paver patio worked around the back of the house, with a single solid granite slab set as the step off the deck.

A gas insert framed and set into a coursed stone surround mid-build — hearth stones down, mantel blocked out, trim still to come.
Pavers, bluestone and cobble on properly compacted bases — pitched to drain, built to sit level for decades.
Dry-stack and mortared stonewalls, retaining work and natural stone veneer, in stone sourced as local as the job allows.
Sunken fire-pits and full outdoor fireplaces with proper fireboxes and flues — built to draw right, not just look right.
Stone-faced counters, grill surrounds and bar seating, framed and finished to take the weather year-round.
Coping and surrounds in cool, slip-resistant stone, set with the pitch and drainage a pool deck actually needs.
Grading, beds, borders and planting — designed alongside the stonework so the whole yard reads as one job, not two.
Full yard work start to finish — grading, sod and seed, beds, borders and cleanups, kept in step with the stonework.
Sprinkler systems zoned to the yard, heads set clear of stone and hardscape, with spring start-ups and winter blow-outs.
Low-voltage lighting run into walls, steps and beds — wired as the stone goes in so nothing shows once it's done.
Settled pavers relaid, walls rebuilt, joints repointed — bringing tired stonework back rather than tearing it out.
NSW takes on the landscape and the outdoor house projects together — stonework, planting and design from the same crew, so nothing lands looking bolted on.
Most failed patios failed underneath. We dig deep, compact in lifts and set the pitch before a single stone goes down — so it's still flat in ten years.
