Is there any greater endorsement than saying you are a “repeat client?” I first worked with Scott Arnold (the owner of Arnold Masonry and Landscape) seven years ago. Not only does Scott have “an eye for design,” but also he knows how to bring that vision come to life. So, after purchasing a new home with a large backyard, we asked Scott to offer his thoughts about how best to use the space. Scott designed a 20’x30’ flagstone patio, a 12” tall wood burning fireplace with side benches and an outdoor kitchen. He worked with us to individualize the space so that it would best suit how we want to spend time there. As a Master Mason himself, Scott carefully chose all of the different types of stone for each of the separate elements so that they would slightly contrast with one another, while complementing the overall sense of design. Scott also had the brilliant idea of adding a putting green behind the chimney! The overall scope of the project also included landscape design and installation, as well as outdoor lighting (which beautifully accents the entire area at night). Scott seamlessly and strategically managed all facets of this project, including the coordination of additional vendors with whom he has established relationships to bring the project together in a cohesive way. All projects invariably face unique challenges…whether it is how to bring large amounts of material into small spaces or, as with this project, dealing with Mother Nature and managing the many different “moving parts” involved in a project of this scope. Scott has the experience and strategic competence needed not only to design and build, but also to problem solve, pivot when necessary and, all the while, being gracious and making it seem easy. When embarking on any project, finding a vendor who is an expert in his field, truly cares about his work and puts his customers first is an invaluable investment. Scott is that vendor. Scott’s crews were extremely respectful and very attentive to any requests or questions that I had throughout this entire process. They arrived on time and worked very hard. Scott was committed to communicating with us weekly (if not daily) about the plan of action, including any changes which had to be made due to prohibitive weather conditions or material sourcing issues. Scott’s approach to billing is, as he calls it, a “turnkey approach.” Whatever happened, the price did not change (unless a substantive change was requested by me which altered the cost of an element). The one last thought which I would like to impress most upon the readers of this review is Scott’s personal investment of pride in each of his projects. It is rare these days to meet a vendor who is so committed to personal service and quality craftsmanship, and whose crews not only respect him enough to also have this same vital sense of ownership in their work, but also have been with him for over 20 years!

"[Member Name Removed], your endorsement of not only my own self but my company and all those working for me is truly one of the best I've ever received. Dealing within this business for over 40 years, it means a great deal to me when a client goes above and beyond with not just what they say to me individually and privately but what they're willing to say to the public as you have. It was a fantastic endeavor and joy to create the first project we handled for you over 7 years ago and even more so this go around. I thank you and [Member Name Removed] deeply for once again putting your trust in me and my company. More than likely as a dying breed we do place our clients first and our artisanship and quality as well as structural know-how comes above trying to price the project to win it. Once again I want to thank you both deeply for your trust in us and such kind words and wish you many years of enjoyment with this new outdoor living space!"

Scott and team did a fantastic job building our outdoor fireplace and kitchen in a very short time. The crew was done in less than 2 weeks. The team was very professional and their attention to detail is amazing. Scott made multiple visits to make sure the project was progressing as planned. He helped us rework designs when we wanted to tweak a few things as the project progressed. No complaints, no problems, nothing. Looking forward to the next project with Arnold Masonry and Landscapes.

Scott's team (Arnold Masonry) completed multiple jobs at my home and the work is always exceptional, on time, and on budget. All his team members are professional, courteous, and obviously take pride in there work. Old school craftsmanship and quality, not only is the work always great, but the prices are competitive. I will continue to use Arnold Masonry and would highly recommend them to my friends and neighbors. Thank you for everything my fireplace and outside kitchen are beautiful!!"

Arnold Masonry did an A+ job with our outdoor project! We had a small flagstone patio that we wanted expanded and the final product blended the new/old stonework perfectly. We also added a stone fireplace that we couldn't be more pleased with. The owner Scott was always providing updates and his team completed the job faster than anticipated. I've never been more impressed with a contractor and the craftsmanship skills of his crew - very professional, timely, fair pricing, etc, etc. I would HIGHLY recommend this company!
Response from ARNOLD Masonry & Landscape
"Thanks so much, [Member Name Removed] and [Member Name Removed], for such a great review. It makes us very happy when our clients not only are completely satisfied and pleased with the finished project but also realize all that goes into it. For 35 years now we have been beautifying Atlanta and North Atlanta residence's backyards and strive to bring forth beauty and functionality to everything we create. We all thank you for choosing our company and hope you and the family enjoy your new outdoor living for years to come!!"

During this Covid time we thought about changing our large, newly stained deck and sizable yard to stone work and a covered patio area with seating, dining and an outdoor kitchen. A place where family and friends could come together large and small. We had Scott come out for a look. He actually recommended some smaller jobs vs the very large one. His ideas were spot on. We really appreciated the advice and honesty. He truly consulted with us to get on a path towards our long term vision. Other companies may not have made that choice, the right thing for the customer. Once we made the decision to move forward, it could not have gone any better. We value what all do in a company - consistent communication and expectations, executed on time and on budget, a hard working and respectful crew (to all in the house), and with high quality materials and craftsmanship. It seems so simple and yet so many fall so very short. Scott Arnold and his team delivered on all. It could not have been a better experience with a better outcome. We highly recommend Arnold Masonry and Landscaping. We will be using them for our next planned project building out paradise in our backyard.

We highly recommend Arnold Masonry and Landscape for your hardscape projects. To address some very muddy areas in our backyard we wanted a patio and rock garden as well as installing rock steps in a few areas. We only had a vague idea of how these should look and Scott was very helpful in design and material suggestions. We were very impressed with his knowledge and experience and were not disappointed. Our project turned out better than we hoped. He used stone and rock that blended beautifully in with our existing landscaping. His team was very polite and professional and completed the project ahead of schedule. We are extremely pleased with the quality and beauty of our new hardscape.

"We want to thank you, [Member Name Removed], for such a wonderful review.

It always makes us happy when we finish a project with happy clients! :) We try our best and being in business for 35 years now, we definitely have tackled pretty much every type of masonry and hardscape project out there. We hope you both enjoy what we created for years to come and definitely look forward to hearing from you when it's time for the next project."

We have had great success with Scott and team at Arnold Masonry. We had a botched backyard project, and Scott came in to help us fix the poor quality work done by another contractor. He took our backyard to the next level - it now looks professional and high quality. He provided us an honest opinion of what path to take, and a fair assessment of cost. The work was done quickly - as scheduled - and was done with good quality and a high level of professionalism. We recently rehired Arnold Masonry to do another stone structure in our front yard.
Response from ARNOLD Masonry & Landscape
"Thank you so much [Member Name Removed] for such a fantastic review. It means a great deal to us when our clients realize all that we put into their home and project/s. It's a shame that you had to go through what you did with the initial contractor yet I'm very happy that you found us and that we remedied his limitations into a gorgeous Pennsylvania Bluestone patio/ Tennessee Fieldstone foundation walls and a matching outdoor kitchen. We hope you and your family enjoy your new outdoor living and are excited to create the new entrance walls we discussed. Thank you again!!"

Scott Arnold and his team were fantastic. Scott listened to our visions of the outdoor living space we desired and helped us come up with a plan to make the best use of what we had and to repair the existing patio without blowing our budget. Scott was honest and made some very helpful recommendations. His team was very professional and they finished the job on schedule and on budget. We are very pleased with the work and plan to finish covering the patio in the near future with Arnold Masonry's help!
Response from ARNOLD Masonry & Landscape
"We thank you so much, [Member Name Removed] and [Member Name Removed], for not just the kind review but being such fantastic clients. Our goal has always been to present the best in quality craftsmanship but also in correct structural stability/construction. We find more and more potential clients, like yourselves, who do not feel confident with many of the professed professionals out there and realize upon meeting us that we are not there to simply sell a project but we are there to present an aesthetically pleasing creation coupled with a structurally sound product coming from the decades of wisdom that we have through commercial and residential construction. We look forward to the pavilion and outdoor chimney project to follow up on this gorgeous Pennsylvania Bluestone patio project. Thank you once more for placing your trust in us."

Thrilled with this Company We employed Arnold Masonry recently and were very pleased with the results. We called several masonry contractors when we decided to redo our patio, a fairly large project. We were very impressed with Scott Arnold of Arnold Masonry. He was not only businesslike and professional but also understood the aesthetics of the project; we ultimately went with a Pennsylvania Bluestone patio. The original patio had sunk so they installed a new concrete and steel foundation and then installed the Bluestone on top of that. It is a beautiful courtyard and the symmetry and colors are perfect. He sent us a carefully detailed quotation of the costs, which considering the size of the project seemed reasonable. His crew began promptly and were very hard-working and skilled. Any concerns or questions we had were addressed quickly. Everyone was co-operative and courteous. The finished product is gorgeous. It was a pleasure working with Scott and his crew. We would be glad to recommend Arnold Masonry and Landscape to anyone considering all types of masonry and hardscape projects.
Response from ARNOLD Masonry & Landscape
"Thank you, [Member Name Removed], for such a nice review. Our goal is to bring fantastic and beautiful outdoor living products to our clients. We knew you'd love the PA Bluestone dimensional pattern and the formality it brings along with the colors. It was a joy creating this project for you and your wife and we look forward to future projects with you as discussed. Enjoy!"

The entire team at ARNOLD’s MASONARY GROUP has always exhibited stellar professionalism. I worked with Dennis, and he was excellent at taking my vision and executing a wonderful and quite beautiful pondless water feature for my courtyard. Dennis and his team who designed my water feature, were simply AWESOME. Anytime I’ve had questions, they were always readily available. If you are looking to work with a group of great folks with creative visions, then I would highly recommend ARNOLD’s MASONARY GROUP!

Scott Arnold is the ultimate masonry design and build
professional. Scott responded to us
promptly and was flexible with design ideas until we determined an ultimate
design for our project. The masons on
Scott's team were polite, careful, neat and hardworking. The project site was cleaned up at the end of
each day. The finished fireplace stone
and design blends in perfectly with our surrounding terrace and pool area....
It looks like it has always been there!
Our new fireplace has created a WOW focal point to our already beautiful
home! The resale value of our home has
probably increased by more than the project cost. We will enjoy our new fireplace all year long
and look forward to entertaining and showing it off to our guests!

Dependable and Professional Our second time working with Arnold Masonry. Without fail, they were timely, professional, and dependable. The hardscape previously done in our front yard matched our backyard perfectly. Scott pointed out helpful solutions to potential problems, and his crew was efficient and tidy. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.. We had a custom patio and chimney along with decorative walls and lighting built by Arnold Masonry and Landscape. The chimney is really great and looks just like we hoped it would! The patio is the perfect size and shape to enjoy our new stunning chimney. It feels like a piece of art in the yard. It is 90+ every day in Georgia right now but we are still burning fires at least twice a week. The project was completed in less time than we were told and they cleaned up after themselves! I am going to use Arnold for future hardscaping and masonry needs and would recommend them to anyone looking to do the same.

This is the second time we hired ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape within 12 months. Again, they did a wonderful job and exceeded our expectations. The stone work, landscaping and lighting really completed our backyard. They installed a crab orchard rock border around all of our backyard beds, replaced a significant amount of pine straw beds with mulch and installed lighting around our rock walkway. We are glad that we listened to Scott and went forward with the outdoor lighting as it provides a nice added element. Dennis always does a great job listening to our preferences and provides useful insight when selecting various plants, trees, flowers, etc.
We intend to hire them again in the Spring to finish out the final stages of our yard. They are always professional, fast, efficient and on budget. I would recommend ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape to anyone with outdoor hardscape and landscape needs.

Scott was great to work with throughout. From the first contact to the day of finishing he was immediately responsive to calls, texts and emails. HIs advice and experience in the planning phase was key as a previous builder didn't even think about drainage, excavation or work around a spiral staircase, etc..He also took us to stone yard to pick out what we wanted and pushed back appropriately if he did not think it would work.
Once building started, quality was outstanding and completely custom built by Master masons. They also edged current stairs and footings, which were not part of original agreement. Project was absolutely on time and budget with good clean up at completion. Scott came out and did final walk through once project completed and even gave us thoughts on landscaping rest of yard.
We will definitely work with Scott and Arnold Masonry again on future projects and have already referred them to work associates and friends.

When looking for a company that could assist me in creating a breathtaking fire pit area in my backyard, I decided to search in two arenas, first on Angie's list and then through friends and word of mouth recommendations.
One company surfaced twice in the research and it was Arnold Masonry in regards to aesthetic results and highly rated reviews from their clients.
I would like to share how the project progressed:
Our first appointment included Scott reviewing the layout of my back yard and what I wanted to create. He gave me options and suggested additional items to make the result more aesthetically beautiful. I appreciate Scott because he took enough time to ask specific questions that were driven from his expertise and standards of excellence.
Within a short time frame I received a proposal that was specific in regards to cost, payment and time frames.
I asked Scott for another option....again a very quick response.
Once the proposal was accepted ..we began the construction process.
The first day was a long day for the craftsmen. It took them several hours to create and pour the base of the fire pit area.
The second day the stone work began...and day two it was completed.
One final clean up day included an acid wash of the stone work and finishing touches to surrounding areas .
Throughout the process Scott kept me up to date on the progress of the project and asked for my feedback constantly. I was delighted to meet his son Joe on the final day of construction.
Joe is a great representative for this company and is as passionate as his father is in regards to the work they do for you as their client.
Thank you for a job well done.

From our first meeting with Scott everything was handled very professionally and promptly. Scott guided us to his suppliers so that we could pick out the exact type of blue stone and brick that was going to be used in our project. Even the suppliers had wonderful comments about Scott and his team. Scott's design sense was also very good and he gave us exact drawings of the fireplace. He made sure we knew about each detail and involved us in the design process.
Every day the crew arrived on time. They were incredible craftsmen and even my children marveled at how they cut and placed each stone exactly where it was supposed to fit into the large patio. The crew was very polite and also left the work site clean at the end of each day.
The entire project was completed in 5 days. The time management was excellent.
Upon completion Scott reviewed the work and made sure our expectations had been met. He is very customer oriented and I cannot say enough good things about his team. We love our new outdoor living space and look forward to using it all the time. I would highly recommend Arnold Masonry and Landscape to anyone looking for quality workmanship.

We were looking at three companies to improve our outdoor living space. We decided to go with ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape, and glad we did. From the very beginning of the project, Scott did a terrific job providing us with ongoing updates on status and next steps. They put together a couple of recommendations and different stone options which were all beautiful. We decided to go with a 325 sf flagstone patio with a 6f built in BBQ area. Scott and team are passionate about what they do and are true artists that will not compromise on quality. A lot of companies can put in a flagstone patio but a true mason looks at the big picture matching colors, shapes, transitions and flow of the patio as part of the backyard and that's what Scott and team do really well. We had the same crew working onsite for the entire duration of the project. Each member was very friendly and careful around our plants. They finished the project on time and within agreed on budget with no surprises but most importantly, they delivered way beyond our expectations. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our new patio and recommend Scott and his team without hesitation!

Our experience working with Scott and his team at Arnold Masonry could not have been better. We were spinning our wheels with a couple of other companies, going back and forth on quotes, details, etc. until we found Arnold Masonry. Scott responded to our email inquiry very quickly and we set a meeting. Within ONE day after our meeting, Scott sent us a comprehensive estimate, full of details, pricing and materials to be used. We hired them soon after and felt very confident and trusting in their ability to execute our vision. Scott & his team completely over delivered in every way. Our only regret was not finding Arnold Masonry months earlier than we did. I have included details on our project below to provide an idea of what they did to change our backyard from a bland, wet, space of spotty fescue grass to a beautiful, functional, efficient space.

"[removed member name], Our main goal is exactly what you reflected within your review. Unique and custom hardscape and landscape creations that thrill our clients. Professionalism and top quality in all arenas of each specific project. Equally important- HAPPY clients!

We look forward to future projects with you and hope you enjoy this recent one tremendously! Thank you!"

Scott Arnold and his crew were great! Scott came up with a great idea for our very old and run down back patio. He listened to everything we were interested in and all of our concerns. As soon as we decided to move forward; Scott made things happen quickly. His crew was on time everyday and so kind and professional. They always let us know their schedule of what days they would be there or if they were not able to be there. They worked late one night to make sure the concrete was ready. His crew left the property clean every night. We had rain a couple of days so his crew worked on Saturday to make up for the lost days. The project was completed much quicker than we had anticipated which was great. Scott was always checking in with us to make sure we were happy with how the project was progressing. At the end; he met with us to look everything over and make sure we were happy. His crew cleaned up everything for us and left the area very nice. We are so happy with how it all looks and now have an extra outdoor living area that we can enjoy! We will definitely use them in the future for other projects and highly recommend them. I also have to say that I was fascinated by the way his crew built the stone wall and fireplace. It is truly a piece of art. They take every piece of stone and chisel it create the the perfect stone for the spot they are working on. It was fun to watch as it went along. Thank you Scott!

"[Removed member's name], Thank you so very much for the kind review of our company as well as allowing us to design and create your outdoor living area. What an amazing change from the old patio to the new much larger stone patio, decorative walls and stone fireplace. Elevating that area helped so much in order to increase patio space and placement of the chimney along with the walls helped to pull it all together and "cozy" it up. We look forward to creating your future projects including a really amazing hardscape for the lake house. Thank you once again and ENJOY!!"

From my first meeting with Scott Arnold (the owner of Arnold Masonry and Landscape) to discuss the various components of what was going to be a very large backyard renovation, Scott instilled in me a sense of confidence that he indeed had the experience and competence needed to execute and manage the many different ?moving parts? involved in my project. Before meeting Scott, I interviewed four other contractors, none of whom seemed comfortable taking on this size project. But, true to his word, four weeks after starting demolition, my kids and I are enjoying our new backyard!
As part of the overall scope of the project, Scott took the time to evaluate (and, honestly, improve upon) existing plans prepared for me by a Landscape Architect. Scott has a sixth sense about the placement of hardscape, as well as landscape, elements which combine together to create a seamless and very effective outdoor living space; he truly did make ?my vision? come to life. His crews moved retaining walls and replaced them with a graduated, landscaped hill that now has beautiful hand-selected boulders and a new and recessed stacked stone wall; he replaced a square and boring tile patio with a much larger, two tier, sculpted flagstone patio, a 12? stone chimney (designed by Scott himself, with an inset stone detail that makes my chimney unique to my backyard alone) and a built-in kitchen; he added a masonry fire pit and demi-lunar masonry bench to anchor the opposite side of the backyard. Scott carefully chose all of the different types of stone for each of the elements so that they would slightly contrast with one another, while complementing the overall sense of design. His landscape crew added the refinement of perennials which were carefully placed around the entire backyard and, then, finished the landscaping with sophisticated night lighting. To finish the backyard area, Scott designed and built a beautiful cedar pavilion with a medal roof which wraps around the chimney. The result is stunning; however, the devil is in the details?isn't it. Taking on these details, Scott?s landscape crew carefully measured the grade of my backyard and landscaped hill so as to ensure that drainage would not be an issue. After completion of the project and following a late summer thunderstorm deluge, we decided that the French drain which had been installed needed to be extended by 12 feet to properly manage the drainage issue. This alteration was made at no change in cost to the overall project (which highlights a point made in other reviews and which I will address below).
Because access to my backyard was limited by space, the crews needed to drive a bobcat across my front yard (for several weeks) in order to carry the materials to and properly grade my backyard. Impressively, Scott thought about this is advance and included the cost of repair to my front yard with his estimate of the overall project, as opposed to ?tacking it on? as ?an extra? at the end.
Personally, Scott and his crews were extremely respectful and very attentive to any requests or questions that I or my kids had throughout this entire process. They arrived on time and worked very hard. Scott was very communicative about the weekly (if not daily) plan of action, as well as any changes which had to be made due to prohibitive weather conditions. The parade of curious neighbors through my backyard has prompted many an unsolicited comment, from being amazed at the scope of the work which was completed within a four week period, to the undeniable quality of the work.
Scott?s approach to billing is, as he calls it, a ?turnkey approach.? He was the only one of the vendors whom I interviewed to offer me a flat fee for the project. Whatever happened, the price did not change (unless a change was requested by me which altered the cost of an element?and, even then, a few de minimis extras just seemed to appear as if by magic).
The one last thought which I would like to impress most upon the readers of this review is Scott?s personal investment of pride in each of his projects. It is rare these days to meet a vendor who is so committed to personal service and quality craftsmanship, and whose crews respect him enough to also have this vital sense of ownership in their work.
Thank you, Scott, for making this so easy

Everything went extremely well. We loved Scott from the first time he came out to measure until his crew returned to clean up the project site. Everyone was professional and courteous throughout the process. The project stayed on schedule and on budget and the final result looks even better than we had anticipated! We would highly recommend Scott and his team!

We liked that this company works from a contract not just an estimate, so you can be confident that the price is the price. After going through this project we now have a new appreciation for the custom work this company does. They took the time to properly grad the yard prior to pouring the concrete for the patio which ensured our patio would be level, but that it would also drain properly on our slightly sloped yard. The large amount of attention and precision given to shaping the patio stones and especially the fireplace stones was incredible. For the chimney, they started with rocks the size of footballs and then preceeded to hand chip each one so that it perfectly fit together to create a beautiful custom chimney. They paid attention to the small details that added a finishing touch to the patio like putting mortar around the sides of the patio so that you couldn't see where the concrete stopped and patio started. They use a thick concrete foundation and thick flagstone, so the quality is very good.
The second part of our project was the landscaping work around the patio. We had 8 tandums of dirt brought in which they graded in a strategic way to allow for water to properly drain down the left, middle and right sides of the yard. Initially, we had not thought about putting in an irrigation system, however WE ARE SO GLAD WE DIDI!!!. Based on the company's recomendation we decided to add an irrigation system and now we can't imagine not having one. If you are contemplating an irrigation system, please take our advice and put one in. You don't want to be running around your beautiful new yard moving sprinklers! One thing I would recommend is that when they trench your yard and lay the pipes you should take the time to take pictures so you know where all of the pipes are laid in case you ever have to make repairs. Once we tested our irrigation system's pressure we realized that the water pressure in the back of the house was not enough to support our yard, so they trenched around to the front spout instead. Our price was not affected by the additional work required to trench to the front of the yard because they were committed to doing what was best for our system. Once the irrigation system was in, they graded the dirt and then laid the sod. A couple of days after they finished the sod, we had a very heavy rain storm which caused a 5 inch deep, 6 feet long trench in the yard where the soil beneath the sod had washed away. We were initally disappointed that this happended to our brand new yard, but one phone call to the landscaper and he made time to come out the same day and give us suggestions for how to fix it and how to prevent it from happening again. This company is truly committed to customer satisfaction. They were in constant communication with us during the whole project and even when weather caused delays in our timeline, they were giving us daily updates as what we should expect. We had mulitple in-person visits from the owner of the company to ensure that everything was going well and they were constantly asking us if we were happy with the progress being made with our project. We highlly recommend Arnold Masonry & Landscape and we will definitely use them again when we decide to add plants and lighting to our backyard.
