Texas Stone Masons gave a facelift to an existing limestone fireplace and constructed a new limestone fireplace in our master bedroom. They did a great job and finished the work very quickly. Their crew was very professional and left the house clean. The owner Scott Bonniwell worked with me to coordinate the work and followed up after the project was completed to see if we were pleased. I would highly recommend Texas Stone Masons for any masonry project.

We had a house electrical fire that led to the removal of our outdoor parrilla grill. I contacted several masons including the original mason but decided to go with Scott. He took more time explaining the details of the new parrilla grill and price was fair. The mason work and his knowledge and craftsmanship during and after each stage was excellent. I would recommend Scott for any mason work.

We met with Scott and discussed a number of different projects. Ultimately, we hired Texas Stone Masons to put a decorative flat stone (Arizona Rosa) on the surface of our patio (21′ x 29′) and the walkway to our pool, and also to repair the stone behind our pool’s waterfall and the grout in a large decorative stone wall/border.

Scott understood what we wanted done and provided a fair quote to do the job. Once the work began, Scott inspected the work each day and made sure we were happy with the job.

I recommend Texas Stone Masons and intend to use Scott and his crew for any future projects.

We had to replace about 40 linear feet of stone steps that lead to porches around our house. The original job (before we owned the house) was done very poorly and was an excellent example of how not to build stone steps.
It was a big job, and for stairs its very important to get the rise and run correct and to have proper slope to shed water.

Scott Bonniwell came up with a beautiful, creative way to do the job, and keep our costs down. There were several changes along the way that were no problem what so ever. He was always thinking of ways to save us money, or when we needed it, come up with smart, creative solutions. Maybe the best thing about Scott is that he is just a wonderful guy to have around. A smart, friendly, gentle person. My wife isn’t very comfortable having workers on the property, but she instantly loved Scott and was very comfortable with him.

My wife and I spent months searching for the right landscaper/landscape designer and ran into so many obstacles it became a drudge!!! Nightmare is a better adjective. But after a few recommendations from neighbors and our neighborhood association’s “ListServe” we connected with a great designer (more on her later) who sent us to Daniel Stone and Landscaping Supplies on Hwy. 290 West (see separate review). Whew… what a fantastic stoneyard. So big that they to drove us around in a golf cart to see the various selections of quarry stone for our project. After selecting the stone we had to find a contractor that could install what we wanted, and who would work with us and our designer.

Custom Stonework & Scott Boniwell came highly recommended by the yard manager and after seeing his website (amazing examples of his work) I contacted Scott and arranged for a time to meet me at my home in Barton Hills. Surprisingly, it was very quick and Scott showed up right on time and surveyed the various areas slated for “hardscape”. Not having a final plan we took some general measurements and discussed the removal of the sidewalk, irrigation changes (more on that later, too), the slope and grade of the yard and of course timing and cost. Having worked for a bricklayer/stonemason in my younger years I was very familiar with the process of planning, site preparation and execution. He was confident that he could give us exactly what we envisioned and has really performed as promised. We even made a few changes “on the fly” after finding irrigation runs and drainage structure once excavation began. Not a problem. Scott took the extra day it took to reroute all of that stuff to cut large stone pieces into the pattern we chose to incorporate into our new walkway. He’s had some great ideas, and unlike many “git ‘er done” masons he’s been more interested in building something that is not only aesthetically pleasing but functional and unique.

Don’t hesitate to call or email Custom Stonework if you have any rock, brick, block or stucco projects coming up. Check out their website. Scott even emailed me some photos of work that was similar to ours but not yet online.

We highly recommend Scott and his team. We had a hard time finding someone who could do the small stacked stone we were looking for and we’re so glad we found these guys. They were professional, clean, timely, and trustworthy. Communication was great throughout the process. I was unsure in my choice of stone, and Scott went out of his way to meet me at the stone yard to help look for options. They were also able to work around our electrical outlets and will be installing the mantel; really nice to be able to get it all done with one company. You can tell that he and his team take pride in their work, and they were very meticulous. We love our new fireplace!
 

I wanted to thank Scott and his crew for the great job they did on my grill and bench area for the backyard!

Looks Great and very functional.

They finished on budget and on time – I would definitely recommend them for your next stone and masonry project and use him again myself.
 

Adding an outdoor patio with fireplace has made my hill country home complete. I have Scott and his amazing crew of masons to thank for that. I first met with Scott to discuss design ideas and materials and from that he drew up a rough plan. Gustavo and his team took that plan and created an inviting, relaxing space that fully met my expectations. This is a group of extremely skilled craftsmen who patiently and ardently work the piles of stone into a thing of beauty. At the end of the project the cleanup process was excellent. For professionalism, timeliness, flexibility, and quality, I recommend choosing Texas Stone Masons.
 

Scott and his team at Texas Stone Masons are amazing artists. The flagstone patio and water feature they created are stunning and add a depth of beauty to our hill country backyard. Scott was responsive, articulate, patient, information and respectful in our numerous meeting as I considered the project launch. His crew worked hard every day and cleaned up every day. They were respectful of my house and existing landscape as they installed the new patio. I will hire Scott to implement more masonry improvements to my Belterra home soon. It is not possible to describe the depth of craftsmanship of Scott and his team. I am happy to speak to anyone about my astounding experience with Scott and Texas Stone Masons.
 

Scott and team did a great job updating our fireplace, which greatly improved the look and appeal of our living room. Would highly recommend.
 

I had an idea to replace our aging wood deck with stone. Scott helped me flesh out the plan and provided an accurate estimate for the work. His skilled crew worked quickly and carefully. The finished product looks fantastic, a patio we’ll be able to enjoy for years to come. Kudos to Texas Stone Masons.
 

Scott Bonniwell with Texas Stone Mason’s, came highly recommended as THE stone mason to use. My husband and I interviewed 4 different masons, and the knowledge that Scott presented was above anyone else. He brought up points we had not thought of, he shared different options and he was very honest and humble.

His bid was incredibly fair! We immediately knew we wanted Scott and his team to move forward and we were more than willing to wait for their next availability. They were worth the wait in every single way! Our patio has craftsmanship all over it!

His crew was amazing. They were timely, respectful, and friendly.

Scott was excellent at keeping up communication, checking in, making sure we were satisfied and making changes on the fly when we wanted to add more or change previously agreed upon items.

We would absolutely put our name behind Scott and recommend him to anyone!
