About us

The owner is the one who shows up

John Gray started Atlanta Waterscapes more than 35 years ago. The idea was simple: build outdoor spaces by hand, with real stone, and actually show up to do the work yourself. That's still how we operate.

John is the first person you talk to and the last person to check the finished work.

Read our story

You pick your own stone

John takes you to the stoneyard to choose every piece yourself. You see the color in daylight, feel the texture, and decide what goes in your yard.

Everything is set by hand

No prefab panels. No manufactured veneer. Every stone is cut and laid by hand on-site. It's slower work, and it holds up.

We'll build what you actually want

Bring us a photo from a magazine or a home tour. We'll figure out how to do it in stone.

Licensed and insured

General liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job, residential and commercial.

Craftsmanship in every detail

The difference between hand-laid stone and contractor-grade paver work is obvious the day it's installed. It's even more obvious five years later.

Hand-set stonework detail

Set by hand

Every piece cut and laid on-site for drainage, level, and long-term stability.

Stone mantel detail

Real material

Natural stone you hand-pick at the yard — not samples from a binder.

Outdoor kitchen stonework

Full scope

Grading, drainage, footings, stone-setting, water features, and finish landscaping.

Stone path lined with plantings

Finished properly

Planting, bed design, ground cover, and seasonal color around every hardscape.

Our process

From first call to finished build

A single stone wall or fire pit usually takes two to four weeks. A full backyard transformation with multiple features runs about a month on-site.

01

Site walk

John comes to the property, looks at the grade, drainage, and soil. A site walk is free.

02

Stoneyard

You go to the yard together to pick the actual material for your project.

03

Plan

You approve the plan for the work, the material, and the scope before anyone digs.

04

Build

The crew digs, pours footers, sets drainage, and lays the stone by hand.

05

Finish

Planting and finish landscaping, then John checks the finished work himself.
