Patios & Possibilities – A Team Effort
When Rodney and Jeanne Long set out to expand the tiny patio in their Charleston-style home in Wilmington, they never imagined how seamless and satisfying the process would be.
“We were just picking up mulch at Stone Garden when we started discussing with the staff what we were hoping to do.”
The conversation sparked something big. Stone Garden’s team referred them to Beach Boys Masonry & Hardscapes, one of the trusted professionals in our Referral Network.
Known for rock-solid results, owner Brian White and his crew bring years of experience and craftsmanship to every project. Rodney and Jeanne were sold – and after a phone call and an estimate, work began the very next week.
Soon, the Longs were going from “Wouldn’t it be nice?” to “Good vibrations.”
“We looked through magazines, walked around the Stone Garden displays, and took pictures of what we liked. They helped us match it all.”
The couple selected Belgard® Magnolia Dimensions™ 12 for the flooring with Country Ledgestone in Echo Ridge for the veneer. Serenade™ Travertine in Silver Mist caps the firepit.
Despite a few rain delays, the entire project wrapped up in just three and a half weeks. The result?
A thoughtfully designed stone patio complete with sitting walls topped with Pacific Bluestone, a new sidewalk, and a custom firepit – all built for beauty and durability.
“It’s too hot right now to use the firepit, but we’ll get great use out of it this fall.”
Their new patio furniture is scheduled to arrive in six weeks, and they’re already planning future upgrades including a grill station and a waterfall feature for the grandkids to enjoy.
“Brian and the guys from Beach Boys were easy to work with. They fulfilled our vision. Now we’re out here all the time.”
The Longs retired to Wilmington from Charlotte six years ago after many years in the Northeast. They’re finally settling into the relaxing outdoor lifestyle they dreamed of – with a bit of help from the Stone Garden and Beach Boys Masonry and Hardscapes.
