Outdoor Fireplaces

Now that summer is officially upon us, we find ourselves spending a lot more time outside. The long summer days often end around the grill out on the patio, enjoying time with family and friends. Many more people are taking the time to install small fire pits or purchase a Chiminea to enjoy the atmosphere of a warm fire and a cold drink.

However, the days of gathering a few stones in a circle for a fire are gone. With new developments in block technology and masonry techniques, an outdoor fireplace can be every bit as advanced as an indoor one. You can choose from a simple circular pattern up to a complex design with a decorative chimney complete with wood storage and cooking surfaces. Professionally designed and built outdoor fireplaces are safe, too!

Hardscape materials come in all shapes and sizes. There are several types of stone to choose from if you want a traditional look. Bricks are a traditional and popular method of construction. Newer products such as those sold by Techo-Bloc, can offer up a combination of the stone look with the consistency and strength of a manufactured block. Essentially, anything you can imagine can be designed and built, the only limitations you’ll have are related to the amount of room you would like to set aside for your outdoor living space.
