Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Transform your backyard into an entertainment paradise with custom outdoor fireplaces and fully equipped kitchens built to last.

Why Build an Outdoor Living Space
Your backyard has serious potential. Instead of letting that space sit empty, you can turn it into a spot where everyone wants to hang out. An outdoor fireplace or kitchen lets you cook, eat, and relax outside without running back and forth to your indoor kitchen. When you invest in professional masonry services in Concord, CA, you are adding real value to your property while creating memories that last.
We see it all the time here in Concord. The weather is great most of the year, so why not use it? An outdoor kitchen gives you more room when you host parties or family dinners. You can grill, prep food, and serve everything outside without crowding your indoor space. Plus, outdoor fireplaces extend your season. Even when it gets chilly in the evenings, you can still enjoy your patio with a warm fire going.
These features also increase your home value. Real estate agents in the area tell us that buyers love homes with outdoor living spaces. It makes your property stand out. And unlike a wood deck that needs constant upkeep, a masonry fireplace or kitchen lasts for decades with minimal maintenance. You build it once and enjoy it forever.

The Construction Process
Building an outdoor fireplace or kitchen is not something you rush. It takes planning, skilled hands, and the right materials. We have been doing this for years, so we know how to do it right. Here is how the process works.
First, we come to your home for a free consultation. We look at your yard, talk about what you want, and take measurements. We discuss your budget and timeline. Then we create a design that fits your space and lifestyle. Want a fireplace that matches your home exterior? We can do that. Need extra storage in your outdoor kitchen? We will work it into the plan.
Once you approve the design, we prepare the site. This includes pouring a solid foundation that can support the weight of stone or brick. Outdoor structures need proper footings or they will settle and crack over time. We also handle any gas lines, electrical work, and plumbing that your kitchen needs. Everything gets done to code, with permits pulled and inspections passed.
Then comes the masonry work. We build your fireplace or kitchen from the ground up, paying attention to every detail. Joints are tooled properly. Stone is laid level. Everything is built to handle California weather. When we finish, you get a structure that looks amazing and functions perfectly. We also offer custom stone and paver patios to complete your outdoor living space.
