Outdoor Fireplaces

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

An outdoor fireplace adds a focal point, warmth and a sense of permanence. Stone or brick chimneys rise above a patio, and a hearth gives a place to set drinks and a seat beside the flames. Nashville homeowners build them on covered patios, beside pools and at the edge of terraces, and they extend patio use into the cool months.

Your designer plans location, size, firebox type and finish, with clearance from structures, ceilings and trees. The crew builds a reinforced footing, constructs the firebox, flue and chimney, applies stone or brick veneer and sets the hearth and mantel. Wood storage, gas options and lighting are added if you choose. The scope covers footings, clearances, the chimney, local rules and curing.

A footing that holds

A fireplace is heavy, so it rests on a reinforced concrete footing sized for its weight and the soil.

Firebox and flue

Proper firebox and flue dimensions help it draw well and keep smoke moving up and away from people.

Wood or gas

Wood-burning fireplaces give crackle and scent, and gas fireplaces start at the flip of a switch. We help you choose.

Finish and style

Stone or brick veneer, a heavy mantel and a raised hearth tie the fireplace to the house and the patio.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe your yard

    You tell us how you want to use your outdoor space. One call sets up a visit that fits your day.

    Walk and measure

    A designer walks the yard, measures, notes slope, drainage, sun, trees and utilities and listens to your goals.

  3. 03

    Design and approve

    You see a layout, materials and a written scope with the base, drainage, structures and schedule before anything begins.

  4. 04

    Mark utilities and prepare the base

    Utility marking is requested, the area is excavated and a compacted stone base and drainage are built first.

  5. 05

    Build and finish

    Surfaces, walls, structures and features are built in a clear order, with checks and photos along the way.

  6. 06

    Walk through and enjoy

    The site is cleaned up, the space is explained on a walk-through and care tips are shared.

Questions

Outdoor Fireplaces FAQ

Can an outdoor fireplace go under a roof?

Yes, with proper flue height and clearances, and the roof design must allow for the chimney. We plan them together.

How tall should the chimney be?

Height depends on the design and surroundings, and taller chimneys draw better. We set it for your site.

Is a gas fireplace easier?

Gas starts quickly and needs no wood or cleanup, and wood is traditional. We compare.

Do I need a permit?

Masonry and gas fireplaces often need review. We help you check and prepare.

How long before first use?

Masonry needs time to cure, and we give you a schedule.
