San Marcos Outdoor Tile & Stone Work Projects

Outdoor Spaces Made for Southern California Living

Outdoor spaces get used hard. Sun, moisture, foot traffic, and time all take their toll. At Holloway Tile & Stone Works, we install outdoor tile and stone projects with that reality in mind.

From patios and pool areas to walkways and outdoor kitchens, our focus is on solid preparation, practical material choices, and clean installation. The goal isn’t just a good-looking finish — it’s work that holds up year after year in Southern California conditions.

Outdoor Tile & Stone Installation

Outdoor tile installation and stone work require a different approach than interior projects. Heat, drainage, and ground movement all affect how materials perform over time.

Before we begin, we take time to look at the site and understand how the space will be used. That includes checking base conditions, slope, and exposure. This upfront planning helps prevent common issues like shifting, cracking, or water pooling later on.

Outdoor Services We Provide

We design and install a wide range of outdoor tile and stone features, including:

  • Outdoor tile and stone patios
  • Pool tile and coping
  • Stacked stone and stone veneer
  • Flagstone walkways and hardscape areas
  • Exterior stone accents and walls
  • BBQ islands and outdoor kitchens

Some projects are simple updates. Others involve reworking an entire outdoor area. Either way, the approach stays consistent — careful planning and steady workmanship.

Why Experience Matters Outdoors

Outdoor tile and stone installations don’t leave much room for error. When prep work is rushed or materials aren’t suited for the environment, problems tend to show up sooner rather than later.

We pay close attention to:

  • Base preparation and support
  • Drainage and surface movement
  • Slip resistance around pools and walkways
  • Clean transitions between tile, stone, and surrounding surfaces
  • Conditions specific to coastal and inland properties

These details may not stand out at first glance, but they make a big difference over time.

Projects We Commonly Work On

Homeowners reach out to us for many types of outdoor work, including:

  • Backyard patios
  • Pool renovations and waterline updates
  • Walkways and entry paths
  • Outdoor seating and entertaining areas
  • Accent stone features
  • BBQ islands and cooking spaces

Some clients come in with a clear plan. Others want guidance on what will work best for their space. We’re comfortable with both.

How We Handle Outdoor Tile & Stone Work

  1. Site walk-through
    We review the space, talk through ideas, and discuss material options that fit the property and budget.
  2. Preparation
    Surfaces are properly prepared before tile or stone is set. This step is critical and never rushed.
  3. Installation
    Materials are installed with attention to spacing, alignment, and finish.
  4. Final review
    We check details, seal where needed, and walk the finished project with you.
