The renovation consisted of draining the ponds, excavating the bases to a lower depth, installing said features and then dry-stacking ( without the use of any mortar) stone retaining walls along all sides. T here was over 8 tons of stone utilized on this property while attempting to retain soil from entering the the pond and while creating stone verandas, pathways, and stairs .

- Oak Bay Project | Lennox Masonry | Stone Walls | Victoria BC | Duncan BC
Learn about our Oak Bay project in Victoria BC and why Lennox Masonry and their team of stone masonry experts are Victoria's most trusted masonry contractors. Oak Bay Thin Stone Veneer Story For this Tudor home in Oak Bay, Victoria, BC, Lennox Masonry was tasked with creating a new look for the front of the house, including the entryway. The most cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing option was to create a scratch coat overtop of the stucco and apply a thin stone veneer. So that is exactly what we did! We utilized a combination of K2 Stone's KV Granite & Tofino Sky stone veneer which is quarried right here on Vancouver Island. From the stone selection, we cut down uniform pieces to install a stone trim around the windows and archways. We then installed stone sills underneath the main window, as well as concrete sills beneath the gable and entryway window.

- Foul Bay Rd. Project | Lennox Masonry | Victoria BC | Masonry
The skilled team of stonemasons at Lennox Masonry were responsible for designing and constructing both indoor and outdoor stone fireplace in Victoria, BC. Foul Bay Rd. Indoor & Outdoor Fireplace Project Interior This project in Oak Bay, Victoria, BC consisted of replacing the current indoor fireplace and designing/building an exterior stone fireplace. The majority of the stone used in this project was local to the property, and the remainder was quarried through K2 Stone in Victoria BC, and Hillside Stone & Garden in Duncan BC. The interior stone fireplace was built using local blast-rock, most of which was native to the property, and then chiseled to suit. The stone hearth and stone mantel were quarried and cut in Port Renfrew, BC, both of which weighed hundreds of pounds. The biggest challenge was du e to the flooring already being newly finished and the sheer weight of the slabs, which made it impossible to utilize a crane or any machinery. With sufficient flooring protection, the slabs were hand-lifted into place. Exterior The exterior fireplace was built out of a combination of stone slabs that were also quarried and cut in Port Renfrew, BC, through K2 Stone; Brownstone which is native to Utah, USA and was provided by Hillside Stone & Garden, which was used as the border to the fireplace; and a natural full-bed ledgestone that was also supplied by K2 Stone, which was used in between the slabs and the Brownstone. The shell of the fireplace was constructed out of Cinder Blocks which were then filled with concrete. In order to support the weight of the blocks and the stonework directly above the fireplace, a 1/2" thick sheet of steel was required, and then an additional 4" thick slab of concrete.

He cares about the customer, as well as the job. Very satisfied and would recommend you give him a call." — Rob J.

It was a pleasure to have him work here. He is one of a kind. Highly recommended." — J. L. "Sean Lennox of Lennox Masonry explained what he was doing every step of the way and completed the repointing of two chimneys on budget and to my full satisfaction. I would recommend him without reservation." — Sid T. "We hired Sean to repoint our chimney, install a new chimney pot and pour a new concrete crown. He was easy to communicate with and his team did a fantastic job. Would definitely hire again." — Ben H. Last year we purchased a home that turned out to have quite a few hidden problems. We moved in in May but didn't discover a problem with our gas fireplace until we tried to use it in October. It had so many issues that we needed to replace it. But when the fireplace installer went to run the exhaust for the new insert, he discovered that someone had removed the top of the original brick chimney and replaced it with a wooden frame. This may or may not have been to code many decades ago when the first insert was installed, but it was definitely not to code now. So suddenly, as winter was approaching, we needed to find someone to rebuild a chimney for us. I called 5 different companies, 3 of which got back to me. One of the quotes was extremely high, largely because he said he would need to deconstruct a portion of our new roof; one was basically a handwave and "I can't really quote on any surprises we might find"; and the third was Lennox. Sean's quote was clear and reasonable, he said he could likely do the work without disturbing the roof, he answered my many questions with patience and clarity, and he worked seamlessly with the fireplace installer and the roofing company. He completed the job quickly and did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site. And when the roofer was here finishing up the flashing, he said that this was the best chimney rebuild he'd seen in years -- no damage to the roof, and the only thing he needed to do was replace a small amount of flashing. Overall, we had an absolutely stellar experience with Lennox Masonry and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Thanks, Sean! — E. Anzalone We hired Sean and his team at Lennox Masonry to repair our old stone walls as well as repoint our chimney which was becoming a hazard. Sean was very communicative and kept us thoroughly informed from the initial consultation process through to the start of the project. Him and his team ensured that the job site was left clean and organized at the end of each day and they addressed all of our concerns. Their attention to detail when it came to matching the existing mortar was very impressive and we are more than happy with the end result. Our chimney and stone walls have never looked better! We highly recommend Lennox Masonry to anyone in Victoria, BC who needs a professional, personable, and quality driven masonry company — Faith Spencer Sean completed stone facing on our home - and did an incredible job! He added some extra touches we hadn’t thought of - that made it even more beautiful. He was great to work with - very personable, good communicator, responsive and respectful. We highly recommend him — Gayle S. We are very happy with our stone patio. Overall, Lennox Masonry was reasonably priced, trustworthy and the work was very good! — Paul Armstrong
