stone and brick work in Marietta

Imagine stepping out into your own personalized outdoor sanctuary—a space designed for relaxation, entertainment, and adding tangible value to your Decatur home. Our custom paver patio and walkway installations are the foundation of that dream. We specialize in creating fluid, functional layouts that complement your home's architecture and your lifestyle, whether you desire a cozy courtyard for morning coffee or an expansive entertainment area for hosting gatherings.

For homeowners who love to entertain or simply crave a beautiful, low-maintenance retreat, a professionally installed paver patio is the perfect solution. The process begins with a detailed consultation at your home, where we listen to your ideas and assess your space. Our team then handles everything from design and material selection (including a wide range of concrete, clay brick, and natural stone pavers) to proper base preparation, ensuring critical drainage away from your home's foundation. We meticulously install each paver with precision, finishing with durable polymeric sand for stability and weed prevention.

Why choose Tucano Stones for your patio? Beyond our Master Craftsman certification, we engineer for longevity in the local climate. We don't just lay pavers on sand; we construct a robust, compacted aggregate base that prevents settling and shifting. The result is a stunning, level surface that won't crack like poured concrete and can last for 25-50 years with minimal care. Let us build the outdoor living space you've always wanted.

Your driveway is one of the first things visitors see, making it a powerful statement about your home's curb appeal and value. Upgrade from a cracked, plain concrete slab to a custom interlocking paver driveway that combines exceptional durability with stunning design flexibility. In the Decatur region, where soil movement is common, pavers are the superior choice as they flex with the ground, eliminating the unsightly cracks and heaves that plague traditional concrete.

This service is ideal for homeowners looking to significantly enhance their property's first impression, increase resale value, and enjoy a driveway that stands the test of time. We guide you through selecting the perfect paver style and pattern to match your home's aesthetic. Our installation process is engineered for permanence: we excavate to the proper depth, install and compact a layered gravel base for stability, add edge restraints, and lay each paver with exacting alignment. For driveways, we often incorporate geogrid reinforcement for added strength under vehicle weight.

Tucano Stones brings unmatched expertise to your driveway project. As certified installers, we understand the specific demands of vehicular traffic and ensure proper slope for drainage. Unlike concrete contractors, we offer easier, cost-effective repairs—if a paver is ever stained or damaged, we can simply replace the individual unit. Choose a driveway solution that is as practical as it is beautiful, backed by our 3-year warranty and two decades of local experience.

Turn a sloped, unusable, or eroding yard into a stunning, functional landscape feature with a professionally engineered retaining wall. Beyond preventing soil erosion and managing water runoff, a well-built retaining wall adds dramatic dimension, creates level spaces for gardens or seating, and can solve significant drainage issues on your Decatur property. We construct walls using premium materials like Belgard retaining wall systems and natural stone, designed to be both structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

If your yard has steep slopes, water pooling, or areas you wish to reclaim for gardening or recreation, a retaining wall is a vital investment. Our process starts with an assessment of your soil and drainage needs. For walls over a certain height, we provide engineering plans and handle all necessary permits. Construction involves precise excavation, installing a compacted gravel base, and using geogrid reinforcement—a mesh layer that anchors the wall into the soil behind it—for ultimate stability. We then carefully lay each block or stone, ensuring proper setback and drainage weep holes.

Choosing Tucano Stones means choosing safety and longevity. We never cut corners on the unseen structural elements. Our walls are built to meet local building codes and withstand the pressure of tons of soil and water. The finished product not only solves a practical problem but becomes a beautiful, textured backdrop for your landscaping. Protect your property and enhance its beauty with a retaining wall built by certified experts.

Transform the area around your pool from a basic concrete slab into a luxurious, safe, and stylish extension of your aquatic oasis. A custom paver pool deck provides a cool, slip-resistant surface that is gentle on bare feet and elevates your entire backyard aesthetic. We specialize in installing pool decks that are both beautiful and functional, using materials like textured concrete pavers or cool-to-the-touch porcelain tiles that are ideal for the Decatur sun.

This service is perfect for pool owners building a new deck or renovating an old, cracked one who value safety, style, and durability. We consider critical factors like drainage away from the pool, creating a level surface to prevent tripping, and selecting materials that resist chlorine and salt water damage. The installation process is meticulous, ensuring a perfectly flat surface that won't shift or settle, which is crucial for poolside furniture and safety.

With Tucano Stones, you benefit from our specific expertise in waterside hardscaping. We understand the unique challenges of pool deck installations, including proper sealing to prevent water absorption and mold. Our craftsmanship ensures tight, uniform joints that won't trap water or become home to weeds. Dive into a summer of entertainment with a pool deck that’s as ready for parties as it is for peaceful lounging, all crafted by your local hardscaping specialists.
