Outdoor Fireplaces

Masonry and stone fireplaces with real chimneys, hearths and mantels that anchor a patio and extend the season.

An outdoor fireplace is a focal point as well as a heater. With a real chimney and a hearth, it draws smoke up and away, throws heat toward the seating and gives the patio a backdrop that a fire pit cannot. It is the feature people photograph.

We build masonry and veneered outdoor fireplaces in stone and brick, with wood-burning or gas fireboxes, raised hearths, mantels, wood storage niches and seating. We design the size, flue and clearances so the fireplace draws well and fits the space.

Chimney and draw

A fireplace needs a flue sized for the firebox and tall enough to draw properly. Wind and nearby trees affect performance. We design the chimney height and cap for your site.

Hearth, mantel and storage

A raised hearth is comfortable to sit on and protects the floor. Mantels add character, and built-in wood storage keeps logs dry and handy. Stone and brick are laid to complement the house.

Gas or wood

Wood fireplaces have the smell and crackle many people love. Gas logs light instantly and need less cleaning. We build to the fuel you choose and check local rules for burning.

Burning well

A good fireplace draws easily when the flue is warmed first, dry hardwood is burned and the damper is open. We show you how to light and tend a fire, and what to do if the draw is poor in certain winds.

Questions

Outdoor Fireplaces FAQ

Is an outdoor fireplace better than a fire pit?

It depends on the space. Fireplaces suit covered or enclosed patios and make a statement. Fire pits suit open yards and gathering in a circle.

Can a fireplace be on a covered patio?

Yes, with proper clearances to the roof and a flue sized for the structure. We design it with your roofline in mind.

How long does it take to build?

Often two to four weeks for the masonry, depending on size and curing.

Do outdoor fireplaces need a permit?

Often yes, especially with structures and gas lines. We help plan for it.

Can an outdoor fireplace have a TV above it?

Yes, with the right clearance and heat shielding, and we plan the location and wiring up front.
