Custom Masonry Work for Timeless Outdoor Spaces

We create a wide variety of masonry features designed to enhance both the appearance and functionality of your outdoor space. Our most common projects include patios, walkways, retaining walls, and garden borders. We also create more custom elements, such as outdoor steps, fire pit surrounds, seating walls, and decorative columns. Whether you’re looking to improve access through your yard, contain a sloped planting area, or add a focal point to your landscape, we tailor each design to your goals. We work with both natural and manufactured materials, and can match existing hardscapes to achieve a cohesive look. We’re also happy to coordinate your masonry project with other services, such as drainage work or erosion control, to ensure your new structure doesn’t cause runoff or soil loss. Every build is carefully planned, cleanly executed, and built to withstand Virginia’s weather for the long haul. It’s quality stonework you’ll enjoy for years.

Yes—our team is experienced in working with both natural stone and manufactured masonry materials. We often use flagstone, river jack, stacked stone, and pavers, depending on the aesthetic you want and the structural requirements of the space. Natural stone is ideal for clients seeking a more rustic, timeless appearance, while manufactured options offer precision, uniformity, and cost-efficiency. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each and help you select the best material for your walkway, patio, or wall based on budget, drainage needs, and style preferences. We also offer mixed-material designs that combine natural stone with other hardscape elements for contrast or character. No matter which type of stone you choose, our team takes care to install it correctly—cutting and placing each piece with exacting care and long-term stability in mind. The result is masonry that’s both structurally sound and visually stunning.

Absolutely—integrating proper drainage with masonry is one of our specialties. Every ProDrainage masonry project is designed with water flow in mind, so your beautiful new patio, walkway, or retaining wall doesn’t contribute to runoff or erosion. We assess slope, grade, and potential pooling areas before we even begin laying stone. If your project is on a slope or near your home’s foundation, we’ll incorporate features such as gravel bases, weep holes, slope adjustments, and French drains to safely direct water away. We also ensure proper spacing, backfill, and material transitions to prevent your hardscapes from trapping water or weakening over time. In many cases, we coordinate with larger drainage system installations—such as buried downspouts or dry creek beds—to provide you with a fully integrated outdoor system. When done right, drainage becomes invisible and effective. Our goal is not just to build stone features, but to build them to last in real-world conditions.

When installed correctly and maintained properly, most of our masonry features can last several decades. Natural stone structures, such as flagstone patios or stacked stone walls, are especially durable, weathering naturally over time while maintaining their strength and aesthetic appeal. Manufactured pavers and concrete blocks can also last 20–30 years or more with minimal upkeep. The key to longevity lies in proper installation: compacted, level bases, effective drainage, and well-placed joints that allow for seasonal expansion and contraction. At ProDrainage, we don’t cut corners—every project is designed for structural integrity and built with premium materials. While some seasonal upkeep may be necessary—such as occasional resealing or joint sand refreshes—our stonework is intentionally designed to be low-maintenance. We also advise clients on how to care for their masonry, taking into account local conditions and project type. With the right care, your stone features will look great and perform well for generations to come.

We take every step to minimize impact on your lawn, garden, or surrounding landscape during masonry installation. Before starting, we conduct a thorough walkthrough of the site with you to identify areas that need protection or avoidance. We use compact equipment and carefully stage materials to reduce traffic across delicate turf or beds. If we’re working near flowerbeds or mulch, we’ll install temporary barriers to shield them from dust or debris. After the project is complete, we clean up the site thoroughly and can even restore minor disturbances with fresh sod, mulch, or soil if needed. Our crews are respectful and take pride in leaving properties better than we found them. For homeowners who want zero-impact builds, we offer phased or edge-zone installation strategies. In short, our goal is to build beautiful stonework without sacrificing the beauty you already have. We build it right—and we leave it right, too.
