As the sun sets over Buford and the air turns crisp, there is nothing quite like the magnetic pull of an open fire. For many homeowners in Georgia, the backyard is no longer just a patch of grass—it is an extension of the living room, a place to unwind, entertain, and make memories.
At the heart of these outdoor sanctuaries, you will often find a stunning custom fireplace or an upscale fire pit. And if you ask around Buford, Sugar Hill, or Flowery Branch who built that incredible outdoor living space, one name comes up time and time again: Stonescapes Inc.
The “Stonescapes” Difference: Why Buford Choose Us
Choosing a contractor can be daunting, but Stonescapes Inc. has cemented itself as the contractor of choice in the Buford area for a few distinct reasons.
A Complete Vision (Start to Finish)
Unlike contractors who only lay brick and leave, Stonescapes Inc. specializes in the entire outdoor picture. Led by owner/operator Christian Blackburn, the team understands that a fire pit doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It needs to flow seamlessly with your patio, complement your retaining walls, and sit perfectly amidst your landscaping. Because Stonescapes handles everything from grading and drainage to the final stone placement, you get a cohesive, “turnkey” oasis without the headache of managing multiple vendors.
Customization is Key
Your home has a unique style, and your outdoor area should reflect that. Whether you are dreaming of a towering stone fireplace that serves as a dramatic visual statement or a sleek, low-profile fire pit for intimate gatherings, Stonescapes Inc. designs for your space. We don’t just drop a pre-made kit in your yard; we build a centerpiece that anchors your entire hardscape.
Local Trust and Reliability
We are your neighbors. Based right here on Friendship Rd in Buford, we understand the local terrain, the climate, and the architectural styles of our community. Our reputation is built on being on-site, keeping you informed, and delivering high-quality craftsmanship that stands the test of time (and Georgia weather).
Building a Full Outdoor Entertainment Area
While a fireplace is a stunning focal point, it works best when it’s part of a larger entertainment ecosystem. Imagine pairing your new stone fireplace with:
- A Custom Patio: Trade in the mud for beautiful pavers or flagstone that define your dining and lounging areas.
- An Outdoor Kitchen: Why run back inside for snacks? An integrated grill station or full outdoor kitchen keeps the chef part of the party.
- Water Features: The crackle of fire paired with the soothing sound of a water feature creates a sensory experience that rivals any luxury resort.
Stonescapes Inc. can master plan this entire environment for you, ensuring that your fire feature isn’t just an add-on, but the heart of a fully functional outdoor room.
Making the Most of Cooler Nights in Buford
We are lucky to have a climate that allows for outdoor living almost year-round. Here is how our clients are using their fire features to maximize those cooler evenings:
- The “Unwind” Hour: After a long week of commuting down I-85 or 985, there is no better stress reliever than a glass of wine or hot tea by the fire. The warmth extends your patio season well into late autumn and even winter.
- S’mores and Stories: It’s the classic family unifier. Get the kids away from the screens and roasting marshmallows. A fire pit naturally encourages conversation and storytelling in a way the TV never will.
- Game Day Central: Install an outdoor-rated TV above your fireplace mantel, and you have the ultimate spot to watch the Bulldogs or Falcons play, wrapped in the warmth of the fire.
