Explore Lennox Masonry’s completed custom stonework projects in Victoria, Oak Bay, Saanich, Fairfield, James Bay, and Duncan, BC, including stone walls and stone veneers. Stonework Projects Our stonework projects showcase the custom masonry work we complete for walls, features, repairs, and other built elements that need strength, character, and lasting visual impact. From natural stone and stone veneer to retaining walls, pillars, and detailed masonry features, these completed projects reflect the craftsmanship, planning, and attention to detail that quality stonework requires. If you are interested in stonework in Victoria, Oak Bay, Duncan, or throughout Vancouver Island, these projects provide a clear look at the kind of durable, well-built results we create. Stonework is one of the most versatile and enduring forms of masonry because it can serve both structural and decorative purposes at the same time. A well-designed stone feature can define a landscape, improve access, provide support, or add a sense of permanence that instantly elevates a property. Whether the project is rustic, refined, heritage-inspired, or contemporary, the goal is always the same: build stonework that feels appropriate to the home, the site, and the way the space will be used. Mill Bay Rd. River Rock Pillars & Walls Our Mill Bay Rd. project in the Cowichan Valley features strong river rock pillars and matching stone walls that bring together rugged texture, solid construction, and a natural sense of place. This type of stonework is especially well suited to rural and semi-rural properties, where the materials can complement the landscape while also creating clear structure around a driveway, boundary, or entrance. In this case, the stonework was designed to feel substantial and timeless while still fitting comfortably into its surroundings. River rock has a distinctive look that can add warmth and character to a property when it is used well. Because the stones vary in shape and tone, the layout and mortar work have to be handled carefully so the finished result feels balanced rather than random. On this project, the stone pillars and walls were built to provide both visual presence and long-term durability, helping define the property while standing up to local weather and everyday use. This kind of work is a good example of how custom stone masonry can enhance a property without feeling overdesigned. The finished pillars and walls create a strong sense of arrival, frame the site naturally, and add a handcrafted element that is difficult to replicate with manufactured materials alone. For properties in the Mill Bay and Duncan area, stonework like this offers both practical function and lasting curb appeal. Mill Bay Rd. | Pillars & Walls Ross Bay Cemetery Granite Pillars The granite pillars at Ross Bay Cemetery in Victoria are an excellent example of stonework that carries both architectural and heritage significance. Lennox Masonry built these pillars to provide a durable and visually appropriate entrance feature for the cemetery, helping preserve the dignity and character of the site while creating a masonry feature that will stand up to coastal conditions for many years. Granite is a demanding but rewarding material because of its strength, longevity, and natural presence. When used in a project like this, it has to be treated with precision so the final result feels intentional and well-proportioned. The pillars needed to be built with enough structural integrity to serve their purpose while also reflecting the heritage setting of the cemetery and the importance of the site they mark. Projects like Ross Bay Cemetery demonstrate how masonry can contribute to a place beyond simple utility. The entrance pillars help establish a sense of permanence and respect, reinforcing the historic character of the property while delivering a clean, enduring stone feature. This is the kind of work that shows how stone masonry can support both function and meaning in a heritage environment. Ross Bay Cemetery | Memorial Entrance Beechwood Ave Stone Retaining Walls Our Beechwood Ave project in Victoria showcases a creative stone retaining wall built with a combination of native stone, driftwood, river rock, and Grey Ice boulders. This type of work is a great example of how stone masonry can be both practical and artistic, using natural materials to solve site conditions while also creating a feature that feels sculptural and unique. The result is a retaining wall that supports the landscape while adding a distinctive visual layer to the property. Retaining walls do important work behind the scenes, managing grade changes, holding back soil, and helping outdoor spaces function properly over time. When they are designed thoughtfully, though, they can do much more than that. On this project, the material mix and layout gave the wall a more natural, handcrafted character that made it feel like part of the landscape rather than just a structural element placed in it. This kind of stonework is especially effective on urban lots and garden spaces where a more organic, custom look can soften the lines of the property. By combining different textures and tones, the finished wall gains depth and interest while still serving a practical purpose. Projects like Beechwood Ave show how stone retaining walls can become standout features in their own right when they are built with care and imagination. Beechwood Ave | Retaining Walls Heron Street Thin Stone Veneer Our Heron Street project demonstrates how thin stone veneer can completely transform the look of a home while keeping the upgrade relatively light and adaptable. In this case, the stone veneer provided a timeless exterior finish that added texture, depth, and visual richness without the need for heavy structural changes. For homeowners looking to improve curb appeal while preserving flexibility in design, thin stone veneer is an attractive and efficient option. Thin stone veneer works especially well when the goal is to bring the appearance of natural stone to an existing home in a way that feels refined and balanced. Because the material is lighter than full-bed stone, it can often be used in situations where traditional stone would be more difficult to install. The key to a successful result is careful layout, thoughtful material selection, and precise installation so the finished surface feels authentic and well integrated with the rest of the property. On Heron Street, the veneer helped give the home a more substantial and enduring presence while still fitting naturally with its existing form. The result is a cleaner, more finished exterior that benefits from the warmth and character of stone while remaining practical for renovation work. Projects like this are a strong example of how masonry can be used to refresh and elevate a home in a lasting way. Heron St. | Stone Veneer Bear Mountain Stone Retaining Walls The Bear Mountain stone retaining wall project in Langford, BC was a large-scale masonry and landscape build that brought together retaining walls, stairways, and water features into one cohesive outdoor setting. Lennox Masonry was responsible for designing and building several tiers of stone retaining walls with concrete caps, carefully integrated stone stairs, and multiple water features that helped shape the property into a more functional and visually engaging space. The majority of the stone used in the project came directly from the site itself, with the remaining material quarried locally from Goldstream, BC, giving the finished work a strong sense of place and continuity with the surrounding landscape. This project is a strong example of how custom stonework can do more than solve a grading issue. By combining structural retaining walls with natural stone stairways and water features, the landscape was transformed into something that feels both engineered and organic at the same time. The stone walls help define the site and manage the terrain, while the stairs and water features add movement, accessibility, and visual interest that make the space more enjoyable to use. For a development like Bear Mountain Resort, the masonry had to be carefully planned so it would perform well over time and still suit the character of the property. Concrete caps and proper drainage were incorporated throughout to ensure long-term durability in the West Coast climate, while the use of on-site and local stone helped the finished result blend naturally into its setting. The result is a project that feels grounded, durable, and tailored to the landscape rather than imposed on it. Projects like this are a great reminder that retaining walls can be both highly practical and visually striking when they are built with care. The Bear Mountain work reflects the kind of thoughtful stone masonry Lennox Masonry brings to larger outdoor projects across Langford, Victoria, and Vancouver Island. Bear Mountain | Stone Retaining Walls Ten Mile Point Thin Stone Veneer The Ten Mile Point limestone veneer project is a strong example of how custom masonry can bring warmth, texture, and architectural character to a brand new home. For this project, Lennox Masonry completed a limestone veneer package that included a stone backsplash in the kitchen and a stone archway at the entryway, helping give the home a more refined and handcrafted feel. The limestone adds a timeless natural quality that works beautifully in a modern setting, while also tying the interior details together in a way that feels cohesive and deliberate. What makes this project especially effective is the balance between clean new-build lines and the organic texture of the stone. The kitchen backsplash creates a striking focal point and adds depth to the interior, while the arched entry feature gives the home a more substantial architectural presence. Together, these elements show how well-placed stonework can elevate a property without overwhelming it, creating a finished result that feels elegant, enduring, and thoughtfully designed. Ten Mile Point | Stone Veneer Beach Drive Stone Staircase Our Oak Bay heritage-home project features a custom stone staircase designed to complement the character and architecture of the existing property. Built at the front entrance, the staircase provides a durable and welcoming approach to the home while blending naturally with the stucco exterior, traditional windows, shutters, rooflines, and established garden. The staircase was constructed using 2-inch San Juan flagstone from Vancouver Island for the steps, with locally sourced Vancouver Island river rock used throughout the risers and curved side wall. The combination of flat, naturally varied flagstone and rounded river rock creates a strong contrast in texture while keeping the overall appearance connected to the surrounding landscape. Natural stone staircases require careful planning and precise placement to create comfortable, consistent steps while maintaining the irregular character that makes the material unique. Each flagstone tread was selected and fitted as part of the overall composition, while the river-rock masonry provides a substantial supporting wall with a handcrafted, sculptural quality. The curved side wall helps soften the transition between the staircase, entrance, and garden, allowing the new work to feel integrated into the property rather than added as a separate modern feature. The local stone also gives the project a strong sense of place, with colours and textures that work naturally alongside the home’s warm stucco and mature landscaping. This project demonstrates how custom stonework can improve access while also adding architectural character and lasting visual impact. The finished staircase feels timeless, practical, and appropriate to its Oak Bay setting—a natural extension of the home and its surrounding landscape.

Lennox Masonry built a custom stone staircase for a heritage home in Oak Bay using 2-inch San Juan flagstone and locally sourced Vancouver Island river rock. Oak Bay | Stone Staircase This Oak Bay project involved building a new stone staircase designed to complement the character, proportions, and materials of an established heritage home. Rather than introducing a modern feature that would compete with the architecture, Lennox Masonry created a staircase with a sense of permanence and craftsmanship that feels naturally connected to the property. The staircase was built using locally sourced Vancouver Island materials, including 2-inch San Juan flagstone and rounded river rock. The combination of layered flagstone and textured river rock creates a visually distinctive finish while reflecting the natural colours and stonework traditions found throughout the region. This Oak Bay staircase is one example of the custom stonework Lennox Masonry creates for homes and landscapes throughout Vancouver Island. Explore our stone walls, retaining walls, pillars, veneers, and other custom masonry features. Vision The goal was to create a durable and welcoming entry staircase that would suit the home’s existing character. The design needed to work with the building’s stucco exterior, traditional windows, shutters, rooflines, and mature garden setting. San Juan flagstone was selected for the stair treads because of its natural variation, strength, and understated appearance. The 2-inch-thick pieces provide a substantial finish while allowing each tread to retain the irregular edges and surface texture that make natural stone so appealing. River rock was incorporated into the stair risers and side wall, adding contrast and a strong connection to the landscape. The rounded stones create a handcrafted, almost sculptural quality, while the varied sizes and colours prevent the masonry from looking overly uniform or manufactured. Every successful stonework project begins with the relationship between the masonry, the home, and the surrounding landscape. Learn how Lennox Masonry approaches the design and planning of custom stone features: Stone Walls Local Vancouver Island Stone Using local materials was an important part of the project. Both the San Juan flagstone and river rock are sourced from Vancouver Island, giving the staircase a strong regional identity and helping it feel at home within the surrounding landscape. The natural colour variation in the stone works well with the warm stucco walls, muted green shutters, clay-toned roof, and established planting around the entrance. These subtle relationships between the masonry and the home’s existing features are what allow the new staircase to feel integrated rather than added on. Natural stone can be used for much more than staircases. From flagstone walkways and patios to stone veneer, garden walls, and outdoor features, the right material can add texture and lasting character to almost any property. Our Suppliers Craftsmanship and Character Building a staircase from irregular natural stone requires careful planning and detailed placement. Each flagstone tread must be selected and set to create comfortable, consistent steps, while the supporting masonry needs to provide long-term stability and proper transitions between the home, garden, and walkway. The curved side wall adds another layer of character to the design. Its gently sweeping profile follows the approach to the entrance and softens the transition between the staircase and the surrounding garden. The river-rock finish also gives the wall a strong tactile quality, allowing the craftsmanship to be appreciated up close. The result is a functional entrance feature that does more than provide access to the home. It adds texture, depth, and a sense of permanence while respecting the architectural character of this Oak Bay property. Building new stonework beside an older home requires sensitivity to scale, proportion, texture, and character. Lennox Masonry also specializes in heritage masonry restoration, using traditional materials and techniques to repair and preserve historic stone and brickwork. Heritage Masonry Restoration Completion This Oak Bay stone staircase demonstrates how locally sourced natural stone can be used to create a feature that feels both timeless and distinctly connected to its surroundings. The combination of San Juan flagstone, Vancouver Island river rock, and traditional masonry craftsmanship gives the entrance a durable finish that complements the home for years to come.

Heritage Masonry Restoration Heritage masonry restoration is one of the cornerstones of our work at Lennox Masonry. We regularly repair, restore, and conserve heritage-designated buildings, chimneys, stone walls, and other masonry structures that require a careful, conservation-minded approach. These projects often involve repointing, stone repair, lime mortar work, steam cleaning, and other techniques suited to older buildings and their original materials. Heritage projects are especially important because they help preserve the architectural character of Victoria and the surrounding area. From historic homes to civic and commercial buildings, these projects require attention to detail and respect for the original craftsmanship. Explore our heritage masonry projects, from the Government House in Rockland to the City Hall in Duncan, BC and see how we approach preservation with durability and authenticity in mind. Heritage Masonry Restoration Projects Chimney and Fireplace Repairs & Rebuilds We also specialize in chimney and fireplace repairs and rebuilds, including heritage chimneys, brick chimney restoration, repointing, flashing repairs, and full chimney rebuilds where needed. Chimneys are exposed to the elements year-round, which makes them vulnerable to moisture damage, cracking, mortar deterioration, and structural movement over time. A properly repaired or rebuilt chimney does more than improve the appearance of a home. It helps protect the building envelope and restore safety and function to an important part of the structure. Our chimney project pages highlight the different approaches we take, from targeted repairs to full rebuilds, depending on the condition of the masonry and the goals of the property owner. Chimney & Fireplace Projects Stonework Our stonework projects include retaining walls, feature walls, garden walls, cladding, veneers, steps, and custom masonry features built with a wide range of natural and manufactured stone. We work with stone in ways that complement the property, whether the goal is a bold architectural statement or a more natural look that blends into the landscape. Stonework is one of the best ways to add permanence, texture, and value to a property. It can be used to define outdoor spaces, support slopes, create visual structure, or simply bring a handcrafted element to a home or garden. Browse our stonework projects to see examples of work that combines function, craftsmanship, and design.

Lennox Masonry is committed to heritage masonry, local sourcing, sustainable practices, and community-minded masonry craftsmanship in Victoria, BC and beyond. Our Mission Emphasis On Local At Lennox Masonry, our mission is to build and restore masonry with care, integrity, and respect for the communities we serve. We believe that good masonry work should do more than solve a structural problem or improve the appearance of a wall, chimney, or building envelope. It should contribute to the long-term strength, character, and value of the places we work on, while reflecting the same level of care that went into the original construction. As a locally owned and operated masonry company based in Victoria, British Columbia, we take pride in being deeply connected to the region we work in. We know that the success of our business is closely tied to the well-being of our community, which is why we make a point of supporting local suppliers, working with other locally owned businesses wherever possible, and contributing our time and services to community organizations that help strengthen the places we call home. For us, local business is not just a preference; it is part of how we operate, and part of how we try to give back. We also believe that masonry should be approached with a conservation-minded and environmentally responsible mindset. On every project, we make a careful effort to reduce waste, reuse materials wherever possible, and recycle jobsite debris in accordance with CRD standards. Pallets, cardboard, plastic packaging, hardened mortar, and other leftover materials are all handled with the goal of keeping them out of landfills whenever practical. This approach is not only better for the environment, it also reflects a broader respect for materials, craftsmanship, and the long life of masonry itself. Whenever appropriate, we are happy to recommend locally quarried natural stone and sustainable masonry products that offer beauty, durability, and strong value without sacrificing quality. We believe that natural materials have a lasting place in both contemporary and heritage work, and we are always glad to help clients choose options that suit the project, the budget, and the character of the property. Whether the work involves restoration, repair, or new construction, our aim is to provide solutions that are thoughtful, durable, and appropriate to the setting. At the heart of our mission is a simple idea: to do masonry work that stands the test of time while supporting the people, places, and materials that make our region unique. That means treating each project with professionalism, respecting the original fabric of older buildings, and carrying out our work in a way that contributes positively to the community and the built environment around us. Eco-friendly We are an environmentally conscious company and take proper care to ensure that all leftover materials and waste are reused and recycled according to CRD standards, so as to reduce our environmental impact. From pallets, cardboard, plastic packaging and hardened mortar, we see to it that all job-related products stay out of landfills. Unless you are set on a specific type of stone, we are happy to refer you to our locally quarried natural stone distributors and source out sustainable stone veneer products which compete with the affordability of cultured stone products. Please contact us to see how we can help you bring your vision to life through the natural beauty of B.C. stone/brick and other sustainable resources, within your allotted budget.

What is hardscaping? Hardscaping is the practice of transforming a landscape with hard materials such as stone. Paving stones, stone stairs and walkways, stone walls and flagstone patios, all fall under the definition of hardscaping. Over 25 Years of Hardscaping & Landscaping Experience. The Benefits of Hardscaping: Tying It All Together Stone helps to tie in the natural elements by retaining soil for a garden bed or by laying a solid pathway to traverse a garden path. It can also prevent soil erosion and protect your landscape! Maintenance The benefit of hardscaping is that it requires little to no maintenance once installed. Stone is the definition of longevity and it only obtains more character as it ages, especially as moss and lichen spread along the surface! Living Space Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of Hardscaping is the fact that it can extend your living space beyond the interior of your home all year round!

Lennox Masonry restored and rebuilt a variety of 17th Century limestone doorways and windows which are now garden features on the Oldfield Estate in Victoria, BC. Oldfield Estate 17th-Century Limestone - Gothic Ca thedral Remnants History The Norfolk Heritage Lodge, otherwise known as the Oldfield House or Oldfield Estate, is an Arts & Crafts mansion that was designed by famous architect Samuel Maclure and his assistant Ross Lort. Maclure in 1914. The home and surrounding property are considered historical due to both Maclure's architecture and the prominent Oldfield family which commissioned and inhabited the mansion for many generations. The Oldfield family, originally from Norfolk, England, choose, like many other wealthy families at the time, to settle in the Saanich Peninsula. Fast forward to 2017. While the home and property exchanged hands with many individuals, there were no major upgrades to the home until its latest set of owners purchased the property and completely renovated the mansion, as well as its separate structures. Vision Fast forward to 2017. While the home and property exchanged hands with many individuals, there were no major upgrades to the home until its latest set of owners purchased the property and completely renovated the mansion. These renovations also included taming the overgrown property and creating a sprawling garden throughout the acreage. Lennox Masonry was commissioned to restore and rebuild the remnants of a 17th-century gothic cathedral original to Italy and which were imported from France. The remnants consisted of doors, windows, and archways which were to be rebuilt in the gardens at the Oldfield Estate. Process Each architectural remnant required a solid foundation prior to being rebuilt. That entailed digging several feet beneath the surface or until we hit bedrock. The appropriate amount of aggregates would then be placed and compacted before pouring large concrete footers for the features to stand on. Due to the weight of some of the pieces involved, a forklift was required to lift and stabilize aspects of the doorways while the mortar was curing. The archways and the windows were once buttressed within their original structures, so they required custom metal fabrication and ties in order to remain upright. A unique formulation of mortar was also required for this project, so as not to overpower and weaken the limestone which these features were created from. This project took roughly 3 months to complete from start to finish and was both incredibly challenging and rewarding.

Learn about our Bear Mountain project in Victoria BC and why Lennox Masonry and their team of stone masonry experts are Victoria's most trusted masonry contractors. Bear Mountain | Stone Retaining Walls, Stairways & Water Features The Bear Mountain project in Langford, BC was a large-scale stone masonry and landscaping build that combined retaining walls, stairways, and water features into one cohesive outdoor environment. Lennox Masonry was pleased to construct several tiers of stone retaining walls with concrete caps, carefully designed stairs, and multiple water features that enhanced both the function and appearance of the property. The majority of the stone was sourced directly from the site, with the remainder locally quarried from Goldstream, BC, helping the finished work feel naturally connected to the landscape. Story The Bear Mountain stone retaining wall project was a rewarding opportunity to create a series of masonry features that were as practical as they were visually distinctive. Working in the Bear Mountain area of Langford, Lennox Masonry constructed several tiers of large stone retaining walls, stone stairways, and water features that helped shape the property into a more usable and refined landscape. On a project of this scale, the masonry had to do more than simply hold back soil or define a grade — it needed to contribute to the overall design of the site and feel like a natural part of the environment. A large portion of the stone used for the walls was sourced directly from the property itself, which gave the finished work a strong sense of place and continuity with the surrounding terrain. The remaining stone was locally quarried from Goldstream, BC, allowing the project to maintain a regional character while also ensuring the masonry had the quality and consistency needed for long-term performance. Using on-site and locally sourced material helped the walls blend seamlessly into their surroundings, creating a result that felt rooted in the landscape rather than imposed upon it. The retaining walls were built with concrete caps and adequate drainage throughout the property to ensure the system would perform properly over time. Drainage is one of the most important considerations in any retaining wall project, especially in a climate like Vancouver Island’s where moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can affect durability. By addressing drainage carefully from the start, the walls were built to last while continuing to support the landscape and manage the terrain effectively. The stone stairways and water features added another layer of craftsmanship to the project. Stairways provide structure and access, but when they are built in stone they also become an architectural feature that can define how a property is experienced. The water features introduced movement and a more natural atmosphere to the site, helping balance the solidity of the retaining walls with the softer visual quality of water and landscape. Together, these elements created a cohesive outdoor space that was both functional and inviting. Completion The Bear Mountain project shows how well-designed stone retaining walls can do more than solve a grading issue — they can help define an entire outdoor space. With locally sourced stone, careful drainage, and integrated stair and water features, this project demonstrates the kind of lasting outdoor masonry work Lennox Masonry is proud to build across Vancouver Island. Projects like this are a strong example of how custom stonework can transform a property. Rather than treating retaining walls, stairs, and water features as separate components, the entire project was approached as one integrated landscape composition. That makes the finished result more durable, more visually effective, and more enjoyable to use over time. For Lennox Masonry, the Bear Mountain project reflects the value of careful planning, strong masonry craftsmanship, and an approach that respects both the land and the people who use it. If you are planning a stone retaining wall project, custom stairway, or water feature in Langford, Victoria, or anywhere on Vancouver Island, Lennox Masonry builds outdoor masonry features that combine structural integrity with timeless design.
