Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens

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.

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.
