Design an outdoor fireplace

On our site you will find many ways for homeowners to enhance the beauty and utility of their exterior landscape, but few are as useful as the installation of an outdoor fireplace. Installing an outdoor fireplace helps owners to solve one of the biggest problems with outdoor living areas.

That problem is the fact that in most parts of North Carolina, Georgia and the rest of the United States, outdoor living areas are only useful for part of the year. Outdoor fireplaces, grills and barbecues not only bring meals and parties outside, they extend your outdoor season.

Proper fireplace design will get you the most warmth and beauty for your dollar; all of our fireplaces are constructed to conserve warmth around their perimeter. We place walls and masonry close by the fire pit to absorb heat and radiate it back on people enjoying it.

All our outdoor fireplaces meet local codes, with firebricks made to withstand the high heat of a fireplace. We ensure that you have a safe design and ventilation, which are crucial, especially if your outdoor fireplace shares your home’s exterior wall.

Our design services often include elements such as tiles, concrete, or stone façade elements, stucco or brick. Many of our landscape plans include a pool or spa, so we locate your fireplace or fire pit close by the pool, so guests and family members can use both and stay warm on cold days and nights.
