75-Inch TV and Soundbar on a Stone Fireplace in Woodstock, GA

A Woodstock, GA homeowner wanted a 75-inch smart TV mounted on the white stacked stone fireplace column in their great room, with the soundbar attached directly to the bottom of the TV rather than sitting on the beam mantel below. Hanging the soundbar off the panel keeps the mantel shelf clear for decor and guarantees the audio stays perfectly centered under the screen.

The 75-inch panel was centered on the stacked stone chimney breast above the wood beam mantel and set on a low-profile tilt mount so it sits tight to the stone while still angling down toward the sectional. The soundbar was hung from a bracket kit bolted to the TV's own VESA pattern, so it floats just beneath the screen, moves with the tilt, and never touches the mantel. Power and HDMI runs were dressed down the side of the stone column and out of the sightline from the seating area.

Stacked stone veneer has a ledged, uneven face, so each anchor point was sounded and set into full stone body rather than a thin ledge lip or a mortar joint, then hammer-drilled to depth with the dust cleared before the heavy-duty masonry anchors were driven. The plate was shimmed to bear flat against the stepped stone profile so the mount cannot rock under a 75-inch load plus the added soundbar weight. Combined panel and soundbar weight was checked against both the mount and the VESA bracket rating, the assembly was laser-leveled to the beam mantel line rather than the irregular stone coursing, cable slack was measured through the full tilt travel, and everything was load-tested before handoff.

The Woodstock great room now has a 75-inch screen tilted for the sectional with the soundbar hanging cleanly off the TV itself, so the beam mantel stays open and the audio is always dead center under the picture. The stone was drilled without a single chipped or cracked face, cabling is tucked along the column instead of running across the stonework, and the installation is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
