Outdoor Fireplaces
An outdoor fireplace turns a patio into a room for three seasons. We build them in brick and stone, with a firebox and chimney that draw well in wind, a hearth that is safe to sit near and storage for wood, set into a wall, a pavilion or on its own.

About outdoor fireplaces
Is an outdoor fireplace safer than a fire pit?
A well-built chimney carries smoke and sparks up and away, which many people prefer near a house. Local rules apply to both.
Can you add a gas option?
Yes, gas logs or a gas line can be built in with a qualified gas installer.
Does an outdoor fireplace need a permit?
Often yes. We help with the drawings, and you confirm with your local office.
