What recent reviews say

The Stone Man earned near-perfect marks for outdoor patio and fireplace design, with customers praising the detailed renderings from Tracie (designer) and Tracie Newey, reliable project managers like Jeremy and Joel, and crews who returned daily until projects finished on schedule. One significant complaint: a customer paid roughly 3,000 dollars for pool deck sealing in spring that failed within a month; when they reported it, the owner dismissed the polysand product he had recommended rather than correct the work.

The business operates as a licensed general contractor in both North Carolinas, serves the Fort Mill to Ballantyne area, and covers patios, covered structures, fireplaces, pergolas, and landscaping. Reviewers highlighted wire-tight budgets, thoughtful drainage planning, neighbor outreach before work began, and staff who explained timelines beforehand. Named team members include Alan (owner), Tracie and Chris (design), and Jeremy, Joel, Greg, Sabre, and Ryan (project managers and crew leads).

Praised for
  • design and rendering quality
  • daily communication and updates
  • skilled craftspeople and masonry
  • on-time and on-budget delivery
  • responsive and attentive ownership
Watch-outs
  • follow-up on failed pool deck sealing job

skilled-craftsmanshipon-time-completionfair-pricingclean-jobsitedesign-creativityresponsive-quotesmaterial-quality
Best for: homeowners wanting custom outdoor spaces with detailed upfront design and transparent timelines.
Think twice if: you expect warranty support on product recommendations; one customer reported a sealing failure the owner blamed on the product rather than fixing.

Strengths

  • detailed 3-D design renderings before construction
  • project managers on-site daily with regular updates
  • on-budget completion with no hidden charges
  • licensed general contractor, both NC and SC

Worth knowing

  • Tracie Newey and Chris provide design renderings; customers visit stone yards with designers before selection
  • Jeremy and Joel are named project managers who visit daily
  • one pool deck sealing project quoted at roughly 3,000 dollars failed within one month; customer reported owner declined to correct it
  • crew visited neighbors and left contact info before work began
  • one 11-workday patio extension and hardscape finished on schedule with yard cleanup and resodding included
