A home addition should never look like an “add-on.” It should feel like it was always there. In Sandy Springs, Atlanta Waterscapes was brought in to provide the finishing touch to a stunning kitchen remodel and room extension.
The Custom Hearth
We designed a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that acts as the bridge between the existing home and the new space. Using a “dry-stack” aesthetic, the masonry reflects the natural beauty of the North Georgia landscape.
Why Stone?
Beyond the beauty, a custom stone fireplace provides incredible thermal mass, helping to regulate the temperature of the room.
Whether you are looking for a wood-burning traditional hearth or a gas-insert modern feature, our stonework is designed to increase your property value and provide a gathering place for generations to come.
How We Build Custom Stone Fireplaces
Every fireplace we build starts with John at the stoneyard. He walks the yard with the homeowner and helps hand-pick the color, texture, and cut so the finished piece matches the house instead of fighting it.
After that, our crew pours a reinforced foundation, sets every stone by hand, and installs the firebox, flue, and any gas lines ourselves. No subcontractors on the stone or the fire components. No manufactured veneer bolted to a metal frame. It’s real natural stone, laid the way masonry’s been laid for the last hundred years.

Related Stone & Fire Projects
Three other projects worth looking at if you like this one:
The Marietta Masterpiece — a wood-burning outdoor fireplace in a luxury gazebo, with a 7-foot by 2-foot solid stone mantel that took a seven-man team to set.
Taming the Georgia Terrain — solid stone steps down to a custom fire pit and seating wall, built to hold up through Atlanta’s heavy rains.
The Buckhead Backyard Transformation — tiered retaining walls with a mosaic stone face, same hand-laid craftsmanship on a much bigger yard.
Serving Sandy Springs and the Surrounding Area
A lot of Sandy Springs homes sit on wooded lots with older additions and uneven grades. Built-in stonework is a good fit there because it can make a room extension feel original to the house instead of tacked on.
Beyond Sandy Springs, we’ve built fire features, patios, walls, and water features across Buckhead, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, and Johns Creek. See our full service area for the list of cities we cover.
