Custom Outdoor Fireplaces Designed and Built

Why Choose A Built-In Outdoor Fireplace
Warmth, Ambiance, and Year-Round Enjoyment
An outdoor fireplace extends your living space, creating a captivating focal point that delivers warmth, ambience, and wind-sheltered comfort well beyond summer evenings. Unlike portable options, a built-in fireplace directs smoke up and away through a proper chimney, improves seating comfort with a raised hearth, and enhances the overall experience for family gatherings and entertaining.
The Brick Doctor designs fireplaces as enduring architectural features that add curb appeal and long-term value. Our team prioritizes safety and performance with correct firebox geometry, proper drafting, and durable masonry that withstands the elements while requiring less maintenance than temporary fire features.
From Classic Brick To Modern Stone And Stucco
Whether you prefer timeless brick, natural or manufactured stone, or smooth stucco finishes, we tailor every detail to complement your home’s architecture. Customize with non-combustible mantels, extended hearths for seating, wood-storage alcoves, and integrated benches or counters. We also offer niche features like pizza-oven modules, grilling stations, and accent lighting to create a cohesive outdoor living hub.
Choose wood-burning for authentic crackle and radiant heat, or opt for natural gas/propane for instant ambiance and push-button convenience. The Brick Doctor specifies UL-rated components, correct gas line sizing, shutoff placement, and ignition systems, along with flue height and chimney-cap selections for optimal draft, spark arrest, and weather protection. We design clearances to combustibles and can coordinate media placement where heat management solutions are appropriate.
Consultation Through Construction And Aftercare
We begin with a consultation to learn your vision, assess the site, and identify utilities, setbacks, wind patterns, and drainage. You’ll receive concept drawings or 3D renderings, material samples, and a clear scope with options aligned to your budget and timeline. The Brick Doctor prepares permit-ready plans and coordinates HOA approvals when required.
Construction is executed by skilled masons: excavation and steel-reinforced concrete footings below frost line, CMU/block cores, structural lintels, and a refractory firebrick firebox set with high-temperature mortar. We install insulated clay flue tiles or stainless liners, pour a weather-shedding crown, add flashing where needed, and finish with your selected veneer. Gas rough-ins are pressure tested, and any electrical conduits for lighting are neatly integrated.
On completion, we provide burn-in guidance to properly cure materials, a safety walk-through, and a maintenance plan covering seasonal inspections, ash management, chimney-cap checks, and tuckpointing. The Brick Doctor supports you with workmanship warranties and optional annual service to keep your fireplace performing beautifully year after year.
