Our Building Process

Building an outdoor fireplace or kitchen is not as simple as stacking bricks. There is a lot of planning and precision involved to make sure your structure is safe, functional, and built to last.

Step 1: Free Consultation and Design

We start with a visit to your home to see your outdoor space and talk about what you want. We discuss your budget, your style preferences, and how you plan to use the space. Then we create a custom design that works for your yard and your lifestyle. We provide you with a detailed estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 2: Site Preparation and Foundation

Before we build anything, we prepare the site properly. This includes leveling the ground, building a solid foundation, and making sure everything meets local building codes. A strong foundation is essential for outdoor structures. Without it, your fireplace or kitchen could settle, crack, or become unsafe over time. We handle all the prep work so your structure sits on a stable base.

Step 3: Construction

Once the foundation is ready, we start building. We use high-quality materials and proven masonry techniques to construct your outdoor feature. Whether we are laying brick for a fireplace, setting stone for countertops, or installing a built-in grill, we pay attention to every detail. We also handle any necessary plumbing, gas lines, or electrical work with licensed professionals.

Step 4: Finishing Touches and Cleanup

After construction is complete, we add the finishing touches. This might include sealing stone, installing lighting, or adding decorative elements. Then we clean up the entire work area. You should not have to deal with leftover debris or mess. We leave your yard looking great so you can start enjoying your new outdoor space right away.
