The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

An outdoor fireplace turns a patio into a place people stay for hours. A good one draws smoke up and away, looks as if it belongs to the house and stands up to rain, heat and a hard freeze.

We design and build masonry outdoor fireplaces for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee, from simple wood-burning hearths to large stone fireplaces with built-in seating and wood storage. A proper footing and a well-proportioned firebox make the difference.

Why owners choose it

Four things done right.

A footing that holds

A reinforced footing keeps a heavy masonry fireplace from settling or cracking.

A firebox that draws

The opening, flue and chimney are sized so smoke goes up, not into your seating area.

Materials for the weather

Brick, stone and mortar are chosen to take heat, rain and freezing.

Finished to match

The stone or brick echoes the house and patio, with a mantel and hearth that suit the space.

Good questions

Outdoor Fireplaces: common questions

How far should an outdoor fireplace be from the house?

Local codes and the design decide the safe distance, and a chimney that rises above nearby roofs and trees helps smoke clear. We check the rules and design the clearances for your site.

Can an outdoor fireplace burn gas instead of wood?

Often yes. A masonry fireplace can be built for gas logs, with a gas line installed by the proper trade. We explain the pros and cons of wood and gas.
