Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Transform your backyard into the ultimate entertainment space with custom outdoor fireplaces and fully equipped kitchens.

Why Add an Outdoor Fireplace or Kitchen
Your backyard should be more than just a lawn. It should be a place where you host friends, cook meals under the stars, and relax by the fire on cool evenings. An outdoor fireplace or kitchen makes that dream a reality.
These features are not just about looks. They add real value to your home. Buyers love outdoor living spaces, and a well-built fireplace or kitchen can set your property apart. Plus, you get to enjoy it every day while you still live there.
In Berkeley, where the weather is perfect for outdoor living most of the year, an outdoor fireplace or kitchen extends your usable space. You can cook, eat, and entertain outside without feeling cramped in your indoor kitchen. And when the evening chill sets in, a crackling fire keeps everyone warm and comfortable.
We design outdoor spaces that fit your lifestyle. Whether you want a simple pizza oven, a full outdoor kitchen with a grill and sink, or a towering stone fireplace, we handle everything from design to final construction. Every project is built by experienced masonry contractors who understand both function and beauty.
What Goes Into an Outdoor Kitchen
An outdoor kitchen is more than a grill on a patio. It is a complete cooking and prep area designed to withstand the elements. Here is what makes a great outdoor kitchen:
Key Components
- Built-in grill area with proper ventilation and clearance
- Countertops made from granite, concrete, or tile for prep space
- Storage cabinets and drawers for utensils and supplies
- Sink with plumbing for easy cleanup
- Refrigerator or cooler space to keep food and drinks cold
- Lighting for evening cooking and dining
- Seating area or bar for guests to gather
We work with you to design a layout that fits your yard and your needs. Some clients want a simple setup with just a grill and counter. Others want a full kitchen with pizza ovens, smokers, and multiple cooking zones. We build what you want, not what fits a template.
All materials are chosen for durability. We use brick, stone, and concrete that can handle rain, heat, and cold without cracking or fading. Our team ensures proper drainage so water does not pool around your kitchen. We also plan for gas lines, electrical outlets, and plumbing to be installed safely and up to code. If you need help with custom stone patios to surround your kitchen, we handle that too.
Outdoor Fireplace Design and Construction
An outdoor fireplace is the centerpiece of your backyard. It draws people in, creates warmth, and adds a timeless look to your outdoor space. We build fireplaces that are both beautiful and functional.
You can choose from several styles. A traditional brick fireplace has a classic look that fits any home. Natural stone fireplaces blend into the landscape and feel rustic and inviting. For a modern look, we use smooth concrete or stacked stone veneer. Every fireplace is custom-built to match your home and your vision.
The Construction Process
We start with a solid foundation. The fireplace needs a stable base that will not shift or settle over time. We pour a concrete footing and build up from there using high-quality brick or stone. The firebox is designed to contain the fire safely while directing smoke up and out through the chimney.
We also build in features like hearth seating, wood storage compartments, and mantels for decoration. Some clients add pizza ovens or grills into the fireplace structure. We make sure everything is vented properly and built to local fire codes.
Safety is a priority. We use fire-resistant materials and ensure proper clearance from your home and any combustible materials. The chimney is built tall enough to carry smoke away from seating areas. If you have questions about other masonry work, our team also offers chimney repair and rebuilding services for existing structures.
