Stone Entranceways and Pillars in Winchester, VAStone pillars and entrance walls built by hand
An entrance says something before anyone reaches the house. Third Pig Masonry builds stone pillars, gate posts and entrance walls, and repairs the ones that have started to lean or crack.
What we build and repair
Stone entrance pillars, gate posts, entrance walls that flank a drive, and caps and details on top. Repair covers loose stone, failing mortar and pillars that have shifted.
Signs it is time to call
- A new entrance to the property
- Pillars that lean or have cracked
- Stones that have come loose from a pillar
- Mortar that has washed out of the joints
- A gate post that has shifted
- A cap that is missing or broken
- An entrance wall to add on each side
- An entrance you want matched to the house
Built to stand
A pillar is tall and narrow, so it lives or dies on what is under it. The footing goes in first, deep enough to hold, and the stone is laid in mortar so the pillar stays rigid for good. The cap sheds water off the top where it would otherwise get in.
Fitting the property
Stone is picked to suit the house and the land around it, and the size of the pillars to suit the drive. For the walls that run out from an entrance see stone and brick walls.

Stone Entranceways and Pillars questions
- Can you build pillars for a gate?
Yes. Gate pillars are built with the footing and stone to carry the weight of the gate. Tell us about the gate when you call.

Sometimes, if it has not gone far. Often it is taken down and laid again on a proper footing.
