An outdoor fireplace changes everything about how you use your backyard. Not gonna lie — in Michigan, it's the difference between a three-season patio and a space you actually use in October and November. Sometimes even December if you're tough enough.
We build outdoor fireplaces from real stone and brick. Not the prefab metal boxes with stone veneer slapped on them. Ours have proper footings, firebrick-lined fireboxes, and masonry chimneys that draw correctly so smoke goes up, not in your face.
Every outdoor fireplace we build starts 42 inches below grade with a reinforced concrete footing. That's below the frost line in West Michigan. We've seen outdoor fireplaces from other builders that heaved and cracked after one winter because they skimped on the foundation.
We offer both wood-burning and gas options. Wood-burning fireplaces give you that authentic crackling fire experience. Gas fireplaces start with a switch and don't require wood storage. Some clients go with gas logs in a wood-burning firebox — best of both worlds.
Our outdoor fireplaces serve homeowners in Grand Rapids, Ada, Forest Hills, East Grand Rapids, Cascade, Rockford, and across the lakeshore. Whether you want a rustic fieldstone fireplace or a clean-lined modern design, we'll build it to last.
