Timeless Techniques, Contemporary Vision
For over 40 years, our methods have remained rooted in the principles taught by my father: respect the craft, work with precision, and let the quality speak for itself. While the tools and styles may evolve, our commitment to expert masonry hasn’t changed. Whether we're building stone columns, installing a masonry mailbox, or laying out a flagstone patio, every detail reflects decades of craftsmanship.
But we’re not just preserving tradition—we’re shaping the future.
What’s Trending in Modern Masonry?
As outdoor living becomes more central to home life, masonry has taken center stage in modern design. Here are a few trends we’re embracing and elevating:
- 🪨 Textural Contrast: Pairing rough stone with smooth finishes to create depth and visual interest—like rustic flagstone against clean stucco or soft greenery.
- 🔥 Outdoor Fire Features: From full-scale fireplaces to cozy fire pits, homeowners are investing in spaces that invite gathering and year-round enjoyment.
- 🧱 Monochrome Masonry: Earth-tone grouts, uniform stone hues, and streamlined finishes are becoming popular for modern and minimalist aesthetics.
- 🌿 Integrated Planters & Borders: Built-in flowerbeds, curved garden walls, and masonry planters give structure to planting areas—ideal for homeowners with a green thumb.
- ♻️ Sustainable Builds: Repurposing materials and reducing waste is no longer a bonus—it’s a must. That’s why sustainability is a core part of how we build and what we offer.
At MCMASONRY, these trends meet tradition. A custom flagstone walkway may feel contemporary in layout, but it's laid with the same care and technique used by masons decades ago. That balance is what defines us.
From the Curb to the Patio—We Craft it All
Curb appeal matters—and it starts with the details. We help homeowners transform their outdoor spaces with:
- Masonry mailboxes that reflect your home’s character
- Custom garden borders and columns that frame lush plant life
- Patios that invite barefoot walks and backyard gatherings
- Fireplaces that anchor family memories outdoors
Each stone, each joint, each brush of mortar is placed with purpose—designed to endure Texas weather while elevating your home’s beauty.
Bringing Masonry Indoors: Our Modern Home Accessories
Our commitment to craftsmanship doesn’t stop at the property line.
When materials go unused or are left behind from a job, we see potential. That’s why we’ve launched a line of handcrafted home accessories made from repurposed masonry cement:
- 🪴 Cord Organizers – Functional meets aesthetic, keeping your workspace tidy with a cement touch
- 🧊 Coaster Sets – Durable and beautifully crafted, these are a statement for any coffee table
- 🌱 Potted Plants – In partnership with local plant stylists at @plantasrepublic, we pair our cement pots with curated succulents and greenery to bring life into any room
These pieces reflect our mission: use what we have, craft what we can, and bring masonry into every corner of the home.
The Future: More Than Stone
Looking ahead, we're excited to expand our collaboration with PLANTASREPUBLIC to offer softscape and landscape services alongside our masonry builds. Imagine not only getting a custom stone border but also having it filled with hand-selected plants that thrive in Texas soil. It's all part of our vision—to be your complete solution for outdoor living, combining the best of hardscape and softscape.
