Full masonry outdoor fireplaces with real chimneys, hearths and mantels that anchor a patio and extend the season.
An outdoor fireplace is part architecture and part campfire. It gives a patio a focal point, throws warmth on cool evenings and adds a vertical feature that can tie the porch roof to the yard. In Middle Tennessee, with mild springs and long autumns, a fireplace extends outdoor living by months.
We build outdoor fireplaces from the footing up. A reinforced foundation carries the weight, a firebox of firebrick holds the heat, and a proper flue and chimney draw smoke away from the seating area. The exterior can be brick, stone or stucco, with a hearth, mantel and wood storage built to match your home.
A masonry fireplace is heavy. We build on a reinforced footing below frost depth so the structure stays plumb for decades.
Proportions matter. A well-proportioned firebox and flue pull smoke up and away, so the fire is a pleasure rather than a nuisance.
Rustic stone, formal brick and clean stucco all work. We match the finish to the house and the patio.
A raised hearth gives seating, a mantel holds lanterns and niches keep wood dry. These details make the fireplace feel complete.
