Stone and masonry outdoor fireplaces with chimneys, hearths and seating that bring warmth and drama to patios.
An outdoor fireplace is a centerpiece. It gives warmth on cool nights, creates a focal point at the end of a patio and lends a sense of permanence that a fire pit cannot. Many owners combine a fireplace with a covered seating area so the space can be used much of the year. In Nashville, where chilly evenings come early in fall and stay late in spring, a fireplace extends outdoor living by months.
We design fireplaces to match the house, using natural stone, brick or stucco finishes. We build a reinforced foundation, construct the firebox and chimney with proper clearances and draw requirements, and finish with a hearth, mantel and seating. Wood-burning and gas options are available, and we coordinate with qualified trades for gas lines and any inspections. We explain how to use and maintain the fireplace, and what local rules may apply to open fires in your neighborhood. We also review chimney height, nearby branches, wind patterns and seating distance with you, so the fireplace draws well and feels comfortable to sit near. We show stone and mantel samples early, and we explain how to season wood and clean the firebox, so the fireplace stays safe and enjoyable for many seasons.

You tell us about your yard and what you want, new landscaping, a lawn fix or a patio, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure the areas and check sun, shade, soil, drainage and access, noting existing plants and anything worth keeping.
We explain your options for plants, materials and layout, sketch the design and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house and lawn, remove what must go and rebuild the soil and base.
We install plants, sod, stone and lighting with the crew on site from the first delivery to the last load of mulch, keeping the site tidy as we go.
We walk you through watering and care, leave a simple guide, clean up and set a reminder for your first-season check.
