Stone Columns & Masonry in Cleveland, TN
Stacked stone columns for driveway entrances, mailboxes and gate posts, built on a real footing with a cap on top.
Our Stone Columns & Masonry Work
A stone column at the end of the driveway is the cheapest thing you can do to make a property look finished, and it is also the thing most likely to be built badly, because from the road nobody can see whether there is a footing under it. Ours go on a poured footing below frost, get a block or masonry core, and then the stone goes on the outside with a cut cap on top. Entrance columns, mailbox columns, gate posts and light posts, around Cleveland, Chattanooga, Athens, Dayton and Dunlap.
Poured below frost line. A column set on dirt cracks at the base the first hard winter and there is no fixing it afterward.
Block or masonry core with the stone as the face. That is what keeps a column square instead of slowly going out of plumb.
A cut cap on top so water runs off instead of soaking down through the middle of the column and freezing.
If there is a retaining wall or a mailbox on the same property, the stone and the cap get matched so they read as one job.

What To Expect
01
Free estimate
We come out to your place in Cleveland, Chattanooga or wherever the job is, walk it, and give you a real number. No charge and no pressure.
02
Dig and grade
We cut back to solid ground and set the grade. On a wall this is also where we find out what the soil is actually doing, which is not always what the surface suggested.
03
Base and drainage
Compacted leveling pad, then washed stone and filter fabric behind the wall with an outlet. This is the part you never see and the part that decides everything.
04
Build
Block set course by course, checked for level as it goes, with geogrid tied back into the slope on anything with height on it.
05
Clean up and walk it
Site cleaned, equipment out, and then we walk the finished job with you before we leave.
