What it is, and why it works.
An outdoor fireplace gives a patio something a fire pit cannot: a back wall. The flame sits in a firebox with a chimney that carries smoke up and away, the masonry holds and radiates heat, and the whole structure creates a sense of room, shelter and permanence that makes people linger.
We build outdoor fireplaces from the footing up: a reinforced foundation, a firebox sized to the fuel, a flue that drafts properly and a face that matches your home in stone, brick or stucco. In Nashville, where covered patios and screened porches are everywhere, a fireplace extends the season from October through April and adds a lasting architectural feature.
Four things done right.
A true firebox and flue
Draft engineered so smoke rises and the fire burns well.
Footing first
A reinforced foundation protects against settling and frost.
Faces that match
Stone, brick or stucco chosen against your house.
Wood or gas
Wood-burning, gas-log or gas-fed designs to suit your habits.

Outdoor Fireplaces: common questions
Do I need a permit for an outdoor fireplace?
Often yes, because it is a permanent masonry structure. We review local requirements and handle drawings and submissions where needed.
Can an outdoor fireplace go on my existing patio?
Sometimes. The patio must support the weight or we add a new footing beside or under the structure. We assess that on the first visit.
