Custom Masonry in San Diego

Masonry is what turns a patio into an outdoor room. Fireplaces, seat walls, islands and planters give a yard permanence and a place to gather.

We build these in-house, tied into the same design and structure as the surrounding hardscape.

What we build

  • Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits
  • BBQ islands and outdoor kitchen structures
  • Seat walls, pilasters and columns
  • Raised masonry planters
  • Stone and tile veneer over block
  • Steps, caps and custom coping

Flagstone Patio & Fire Pit

Point Loma

The stone, the fire and the planting all speak the same language, and the walkway makes the whole yard feel intentional from the moment you step outside.

See This Project

Built as structure, finished as furniture

Every built-in starts with footing and block, then gets veneered and capped. Seat wall heights, island counter overhangs and fireplace hearth depths are set to real ergonomics, not guessed.

Materials that match the house

Veneer, cap stone and grout color are selected against your architecture so the addition reads as original rather than added on later.

Common questions

What can you build in masonry?
Seat walls, planters, outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands, fireplaces and fire pits, pilasters, stairs, water features and structural veneer work.
Does an outdoor kitchen need a permit?
Usually yes, once gas, water or electrical is involved. We handle the permit through the local jurisdiction as part of the project.
How much does a fire feature cost?
Wood-burning masonry fire pits typically start around $3,200. Gas features with electronic ignition and stone veneer commonly run $6,000 to $12,000 installed.
Are you licensed for custom masonry work in San Diego?
Yes. Staples Landscaping holds California contractor license #1159370, carries liability and workers' compensation coverage, and pulls permits on any work that requires them. You can verify the license directly with the CSLB.
Do you serve my part of San Diego County?
We work across San Diego County — coastal, central, inland, East County and South Bay. Each area has its own soil, climate and permitting reality, which is why we publish neighborhood-level pages rather than one generic service area list.
