Stone Fireplaces & Archways in Mosman – Crafted by The Stone Guys
Local Expertise, Timeless Results
In Mosman, homes aren’t just built. They’re crafted to last and to tell a story. At The Stone Guys, we understand that choosing the right stonemason isn’t just about getting the job done. It’s about making sure every detail adds to the value and character of your property.
Led by Joe Chiverton, a mason with over 20 years of hands-on experience in both England and Sydney, our team blends traditional stonework methods with a modern, design-led approach. The result? Work that feels solid, purposeful, and in tune with Mosman’s architectural charm.
Stone Fireplaces – Mosman’s Favourite Feature
A stone fireplace isn’t just a heat source; it becomes the soul of a room. Homeowners often tell us the fireplace is where the family gathers on cool evenings, or where guests naturally drift during a get-together. That kind of pull doesn’t happen with a standard wall heater.
The difference lies in the stone itself. Each block carries unique tones and textures: sandstone for a warm, coastal look, or granite if you prefer something more polished and enduring. We don’t just “install” fireplaces; we guide you in choosing a design that complements your interiors if you’re updating a Federation home or fitting out a new Mosman build. Builders value our precision, while homeowners appreciate that we treat every stone fireplace as a centrepiece, not an afterthought.
Stone Archways – Blending Elegance with Strength
A stone archway does more than frame a space; it creates a sense of arrival. In Mosman, where many properties are built to highlight light, views, and scale, an archway made of real stone instantly adds depth and a touch of permanence.
What most people don’t realise is that a stone archway is both an art and a science. Each stone has to be cut and placed at a precise angle so that the weight distributes evenly. Done right, the structure lasts for decades with almost no upkeep. Done poorly, it can crack or slump. That’s where true masonry skill comes in, ensuring your stone archway is as strong as it is elegant.
We don’t cut corners, and we don’t rush. Every retaining wall in Neutral Bay is constructed with the same care and precision we’d apply to our own homes.

FAQs – Stone Fireplaces & Archways in Mosman
1. How long does it take to build a stone fireplace in Mosman?
Most stone fireplaces take 2–4 weeks depending on the design. Simpler builds go faster, while custom work like curved hearths or oversized mantels takes longer.
2. Can a stone archway be added to an existing Mosman home?
Absolutely. Many clients retrofit a stone archway into entrances or garden areas. The main consideration is ensuring the structure can handle the weight, which we assess before starting.
3. What types of stone work best for fireplaces?
Sandstone is a favourite in Mosman for its natural, coastal look. Granite and limestone are also strong choices for stone fireplaces, each offering different textures and levels of polish.
4. Do stone archways require much maintenance?
Not really. A properly-built stone archway is incredibly durable. At most, you might clean or reseal the surface occasionally to maintain the finish.
5. Why choose a mason instead of a general builder for fireplaces and archways?
Builders can manage the structure, but a stonemason ensures every cut, joint, and finish is done with precision. That’s what makes the difference between a basic build and a stone fireplace or stone archway that feels like it belongs in your Mosman home
