Experienced Mason for 35 Years
I graduated from Hobson State Technological College in 1986 with a Diploma in Masonry. I have been in the masonry field for 35 years and have operated a successful business for over 22 years. My experience includes residential and commercial work in Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and US Virgin Islands.

BRICK
One of the oldest of all building materials, brick projects are durable, flexible and reliable. The different styles and textures allow for variety in look and form.
The variety of projects below help illustrate color, texture and size of brick.
The three homes below are examples of my ealier brick projects.

The two styles of brick accented by a brick band made this brick project unique.
We came back and brick the columns on this church.
Entry Gates and Columns
Original Design of Entry
What's interesting about this entryway is we had the opportunity to redesign the gate after the county demoed the gate to pave the road. Take a look at the first design and the second design.
Same Entryway Re-Designed Due to Road Construction
The homeowners and I decided the best design would follow the contour of the land as well as mimic the design of the gate.
The fencing and gate on the columns above and below were done by McIntosh Fencing located in Griffin, GA.
Thecolumns below are out of natural or real drystack stone.
The caps on the columns are also natural stones.

Historical Rennovations
Aaron Parker House Oldest House in Rockdale County
Savage Masonry had the privledge to work on the restoration of this 1830 Rockdale County Home in conjuction with Pashen and Nelison and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Here's what the home looked like before the rennovations.
The challenge of this project was to renovate outdoor and indoor fireplaces to replicate the look of the original 1830's fireplaces and chimneys.
The Lyons Farm House Historial Restoration
Before Restoration Front View of House and Fireplace
Partnering with Pashen and Nelison and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources the Lyon's House historial restoration was exciting and challenging. Located in Dekalb County and built in 1820 , I was tasked with the masonry conponents of the project including two fireplaces, stone around the bottom of the structure and the underpinning of the home. The fireplaces stood about 25 feet and needed major restoration due to combing mortar. The challenge was to match the consistency and color of the original mortar.

Indoor Fireplaces
Made Made Ruble Stack Stone
This project was one of my favorite indoor fireplace projects. I loved the challenge of wrapping stone around an existing fireplace and continuing the stone to facade the existing cooking area.

Outdoor Fireplaces
Adding a fireplace to any outdoor space would add a distinct ambience. This unique gem back faces the lake and provides warmth, seating and a conversation area perfect for entertaining. Outdoor fireplaces can range from elaborate and complex to simple and sweet.
No shortcuts were taken in the process to create a beautiful finished product.
Working along side my brother was one of the joys of this project.
More Trending Outdoor Fireplaces
Ways to entertain outdoors continues to be a big trend across the south. Customer's ideas become dynamic, creative, and inspired outdoor spaces.
Visting this project recently allowed me to see the homeowners are still enjoying this outdoor space after 7 years.

Pizza Oven is an Outdoor Cooking Dream
The pizza oven added a special element to the owners back yard. It became the center piece of there small back yard, perfect for entertaining. The homeowners graciously shared this recent photo and how much they are enjoying the beauty of the stonework. As I am sure they are also enjoying many pizzas.
This is project was a creative challenge that was enoyable and fun from start to finish.
The Pizza Oven was the main focus of this project. However, the overall project was a combined effort of landscaping and masonry for maximum use of a small backyard. The top view shows a small firepit with steps leading down to the pizza oven.
