Outdoor Fireplace Design & Build

An outdoor masonry fireplace is a bigger structure and a bigger investment than a fire pit; it is offered as an upgrade on our estate-terrace hardscape tier and generally starts in the tens of thousands of dollars depending on size and materials. A fire pit is a smaller add-on within a standard patio package. Both extend how you use the backyard; the fireplace is the more architectural, permanent statement piece.

Yes. A masonry fireplace is a real structure that needs a proper footing and, depending on design, a chimney or vent for smoke and combustion gases, which is different from a simple fire pit sitting on a patio surface.
