Masonry

​Enhance Your Property with Beautiful Stone Masonry

Masonry can take your landscaping to the next level by enhancing the appearance of your property, creating outdoor living spaces, and serving a functional role in retaining walls and terraces. At Gosnell Tree & Landscape, we bring the same level of expertise and creative flair to our masonry projects as we do to our landscaping and tree installation.

Use Masonry to Solve Common Landscaping Problems

We often find that masonry solves many common landscaping issues our clients face on the hilly California Central Coast. Steep grading, oceanside living, and agricultural needs can present dilemmas for property owners, but the clever use of masonry can be the remedy you’re seeking.

At Gosnell Tree & Landscape, we have generations of experience working with challenging properties, from orchards and vineyards to private residences on the edge of the sea. We can offer you masonry options that solve your landscaping problems, such as:

• Steep grades that are difficult to maintain and walk
• Water runoff and soil conservation
• Beach access
• Protection of fragile plantings
• Home and patio accessibility
• Need for privacy

The use of stone, pavers, brick, cement, stamped cement, cobblestones, and other materials allows us to carve out pathways for you to move around your property with ease and safety. Stone walls offer privacy and a stately entrance to your home. We can also build terraces and other structures that retain soil, reduce maintenance, and provide more space for plantings and seating areas.

We are skilled at creating an organic look to any property, so it blends with the natural beauty of the site. The eye moves seamlessly from your dwelling to the outside space beyond, inviting all to find comfort and tranquility in the environment. Whether you have a sleek, modern beach house or a rustic Napa getaway, we can help you select the masonry planning and materials that elevate it to your dream property.

Expand Your Living Area with Masonry

It’s no secret that real estate is at a premium in California’s highly desirable Central Coast. Why not take advantage of the incredible climate and add outdoor living space to your property? You can double, triple, or quadruple your interior square footage for entertaining when you extend your living area to the outdoors.

Outside living spaces are hot right now, and this isn’t just a trend. Smart Californians have figured out how to mimic Mediterranean and resort lifestyles by creating outdoor living rooms and kitchens for family fun and hosting guests.

When you can dine al fresco much of the year, it makes sense to enjoy your property to its fullest extent. Destress after a long workday, or spend your weekend immersed in nature on a backyard stone patio. When the cool autumn air arrives, snuggle by a cozy fire pit or whip up a meal with your outdoor pizza oven. Stone masonry makes this all possible.

We’ll help you plan an outdoor living space that meets your unique needs and brings you closer to your lovely landscaping. Imagine stepping outside into your lush garden, where you have all the cooking and seating amenities of your indoor living areas, with the added luxury of greenery, flowers, dappled sunlight, and the soothing sounds of falling water and singing birds. That’s what the California lifestyle is all about!

Don’t Try to DIY Your Masonry Work

We think the DIY trend is great when it comes to small jobs and inexpensive projects. But masonry is one area that should be left to the pros. There’s a lot more that goes into a masonry project than just drawing sketches and selecting stone. You need an expert that can help with:

• Grading and water flow
• Picking plants that work with your masonry
• Removing or relocating plants and trees to make room for your masonry
• Choosing the right materials for your environment and weather
• Measuring, preparing, and leveling the work surface
• Buying the proper amount of stone and other materials
• Transport of masonry elements
• Installing masonry for long-term endurance and safety
• Mixing and pouring concrete
• Collaborating with other industry professionals
• Obtaining necessary permits

Landscaping, masonry, and tree installation are our passion, and our 50 years in the business means your masonry job will be properly thought out and done right the first time. Your property will look like it’s been done professionally. Check out our portfolio to see some magazine-quality projects we’ve executed for other clients in our region.
