What People Say About The Stone Man

Paula P.

Patio & Fireplace Feature

"We can't say enough about how happy we are with the work from The Stone Man! They came up with a fire pit and outdoor hardscape area design that was really creative, and wove all of our ideas and goals into the work. The crew doing the work kept the area in order, didn't impact our day to day, and finished the job on time, even when they hit some unexpected things in the excavation. The final result is a great addition to our home that we really enjoy!"

Mike D.

Covered Patio

"We had a great experience working with the whole team at The Stone Man. From start to finish, they provided great detail, honest advice and delivered excellent results. We did research and talked with a number of different companies before moving forward with The Stone Man and would highly recommend them."

Jason F.

Outdoor Kitchen & Fireplace Feature

We can’t say enough about the entire team at The Stone Man. Every aspect of the job was handled with professionalism and excellent workmanship. We had a huge project that included replacing an entire deck, and creating an amazing patio area with an incredible stone fireplace below, including covered ceiling with fans/lighting and built in Kitchen area. I would highly recommend them if you are in the market for any sort of work in your backyard."

Cheryl M.

Outdoor Patio

I had a really “blah” back yard, with a difficult drop off of terrain. I met with The Stone Man and they listened to my ideas, added their own, and we came up with a brilliant plan. I saw it on paper first, to scale for my property, then saw it brilliantly executed by the artisan stone makers. Lots of people can lay stone, but not all are stonemasons, and in this instance you get what you pay for. They are not just masons, they're artists. I’m very pleased with the results, and wholeheartedly recommend them."

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas does The Stone Man serve around Charlotte?

The Stone Man works out of Fort Mill, SC and builds throughout the greater Charlotte metro on both sides of the state line. That covers Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Rock Hill, Lake Wylie, and Indian Land in South Carolina, along with Charlotte, Ballantyne, Myers Park, Dilworth, South End, Davidson, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Marvin, Waxhaw, Weddington, Wesley Chapel, and Gastonia in North Carolina. Licensing in both states is what makes that footprint possible, since a South Carolina contractor cannot cross into North Carolina without it. Properties near the edge of that area are worth a call to confirm.

Is The Stone Man a design-build company or just an installer?

The Stone Man designs and builds outdoor living spaces as a licensed general contractor in North Carolina and South Carolina, which means one company carries the project from first sketch to final inspection. That includes design, demolition, excavation, materials, masonry, carpentry, landscaping, lighting, pulling permits, and managing the specialty trades such as electric, gas, and plumbing. Homeowners are not left coordinating a mason, a carpenter, an electrician, and an inspector on their own. One team is accountable for the finished space.

What does The Stone Man build?

The Stone Man builds custom patios, covered structures and porches, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pool decks, stone walls, water features, and outdoor lighting, along with the landscape design that ties them together. Most projects combine several of these rather than standing alone, since a patio usually arrives with a fire feature, seat walls, and lighting around it. Materials run from concrete pavers to travertine, flagstone, and natural stone. The full service list covers each in detail. The company has built custom hardscapes across the Charlotte area since 2001.

How long does an outdoor living project take from first call to finished space?

An outdoor living project runs on two clocks: design, which is typically presented within two to four weeks of the initial consultation, and construction, which runs two to four months on larger builds. Engineering, permitting, and HOA approvals happen after the design is settled, and those review windows sit outside anyone’s control. The Stone Man schedules projects months in advance, so the calendar is usually the constraint rather than crew availability. Starting the conversation early is what secures the season you want.

What warranty does The Stone Man offer?

The Stone Man backs its hardscape design and build work with a five-year warranty. That coverage reflects how the work is built underneath the surface, where base preparation and drainage determine whether a patio or wall holds up through Carolina clay and freeze cycles. The company is also a Belgard Authorized Contractor and ICPI certified, both of which require completed training and installation coursework. Warranty terms are confirmed in your project documents.
