The problem

This Oak Hill homeowner wanted a 65-inch TV on the stacked-stone wall above the fireplace so it could tilt down toward the seating instead of staring straight ahead at the ceiling line.

What we did

Stacked stone above a fireplace is a different animal from flat drywall. The face is uneven, the stones vary in depth, and the mount has to land in solid structure behind the ledger without cracking the veneer. Tilt is the right call when the screen sits high over a firebox — a slight downward angle keeps the picture comfortable from the sofa.

I set a tilt mount on the tan stacked stone and hung the 65-inch TV centered on the chimney breast, above the black fireplace insert. Side to side, the panel lines up with the stone bay between the corner window on the left and the painted wall on the right. Height-wise, it clears the firebox and leaves a clean band of stone above the screen.

Oak Hill sits just south of Green Hills, with a lot of stone fireplaces and corner hearths that want a careful mount. This corner already had the window and the stacked stone; the tilt mount finishes the wall without changing the insert or the blinds.

After the TV was up, I checked the tilt range from the seating and confirmed the panel sat level against the uneven stone. Small nudges on a 65-inch screen show up fast against ledger lines, so that last look matters before the tools go away.

Fireplace installs around Oak Hill reward a careful level check and a mount that can tip toward the seating, especially when the stone face is uneven and the screen sits high over a glass firebox like this one.
