Add lasting structure and character to your property with custom outdoor stone masonry in Chicago and the North Shore. C.O. Landscaping & Natural Stone builds patios, walks, steps, walls, fire features, and decorative stonework for residential and commercial landscapes.
We work with natural stone, brick, and pavers to create masonry that fits the property’s architecture, grade, circulation, and outdoor-living goals. New features can be installed alone or coordinated as part of a larger landscape plan.

Our Outdoor Stone Masonry Process
1. Site and Design Review
We evaluate grades, drainage, dimensions, access, surrounding materials, and how the finished feature will be used.
2. Material Selection
Stone, brick, or paver choices are compared for color, texture, scale, pattern, performance, and budget.
3. Foundation Preparation
The site and base are prepared for the selected material, structure, and local conditions.
4. Skilled Masonry Installation
Materials are laid, fitted, and finished with attention to joints, edges, elevations, and transitions.
Planned for Chicago-Area Conditions
Outdoor masonry around Chicago must withstand moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Drainage, base preparation, appropriate materials, and careful installation all contribute to long-term performance.

Outdoor Stone Masonry FAQs
What materials are available?
Projects may use natural stone, brick, concrete pavers, or a coordinated combination selected for the site and design.
Can new masonry match existing work?
We look for compatible scale, color, and texture, though an exact match may not always be available for older materials.
Can masonry be combined with planting and lighting?
Yes. Coordinating beds, trees, shrubs, and lighting can make stonework feel integrated with the full landscape.
