McDonald District Remodel

Masonry by Conrad completed a remodel for this private residence in Santa Rosa’s historic McDonald District on McDonald Street. We absolutely love how this project turned out and consider this one of our favorite projects thus far.

Front Yard 

Herringbone brick walkway 

For the pathway in the front of the house, the client opted for a herringbone brick pathway for the straight walkway going to the front door. This design worked beautifully with the overall Victorian architecture of the home. Plus, the traditional brick color helped highlight the accent colors seen in the door and decoration over the front-facing window. 

Traditional brick wraparound  

For the side pathways connecting the front yard to the backyard, we used a traditional straight pattern with a border in the same brick to maintain the look and feel. 

Backyard 

Tumbled limestone pool wraparound and backyard pathways 

Our clients recently installed a brand new in-ground pool and wanted to create a beautiful patio to complement the new addition. We used hand-cut, tumbled limestone in a gorgeous, neutral hue to match the exterior paint. 

Pool pump cover wall 

Lastly, the client requested a feature to disguise the above-ground pool pump. We used concrete masonry units to build a short wall. We finished the form with the leftover limestone in order to tie the structure into the new patio.
