Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Transform your backyard into an entertainment paradise with custom outdoor fireplaces and fully equipped kitchens built to last.
Create Your Perfect Outdoor Living Space
Your backyard should be more than just grass and trees. It can become your favorite place to relax, entertain friends, and make memories with family. An outdoor fireplace or kitchen turns your yard into a true extension of your home, giving you a comfortable space to enjoy even when the weather cools down. You can host dinner parties, roast marshmallows with the kids, or just sit by the fire with a good book on a crisp evening.
Building an outdoor kitchen or fireplace is not like putting together furniture from a box. These are permanent structures that need proper planning, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship. You want something that looks beautiful, works perfectly, and stands up to rain, heat, and everything else Montgomery weather throws at it. That is where professional masonry makes all the difference. We design and build outdoor living spaces that are built to last and customized to fit your exact needs.
We have been building outdoor fireplaces and kitchens throughout Montgomery, AL for years. Our team knows how to create functional, attractive outdoor spaces that add real value to your property. From the initial design consultation to the final cleanup, we handle every detail so you can start enjoying your new outdoor space as soon as possible.
Design Options for Every Style and Budget
Every outdoor space is different, and your fireplace or kitchen should reflect your personal style and how you plan to use it. Here are some popular options we build for homeowners in Montgomery:
Outdoor Fireplaces
An outdoor fireplace becomes the focal point of your patio or backyard. We can build traditional wood-burning fireplaces or gas-powered units that start with the flip of a switch. You choose the materials, from natural stone that gives a rustic look to clean-lined brick for a more modern feel. We build the firebox, chimney, and surround to exact specifications, ensuring proper ventilation and safe operation. Many homeowners add built-in seating areas, mantels for decoration, or even pizza ovens next to their fireplace. We work with you to design something that fits your space and budget while creating the ambiance you want.
Outdoor Kitchens
A fully equipped outdoor kitchen lets you cook, serve, and clean up without running back and forth to your house. We build the masonry structures that support all your appliances and create a functional cooking space. This includes countertops for food prep, built-in grills, side burners, storage cabinets, sinks, and refrigerator spaces. You can also add bar seating, pizza ovens, smokers, and anything else that fits your cooking style. We use materials that stand up to heat, moisture, and constant use. The result is a kitchen that is as functional as your indoor one, but with the advantage of cooking in the fresh air while your guests relax nearby.
Combined Fireplace and Kitchen Spaces
Why choose between a fireplace and a kitchen when you can have both? Many of our customers opt for a combined design that includes cooking areas, a fireplace for warmth and ambiance, and plenty of counter space for serving and entertaining. We design these spaces to flow naturally, so you can move easily between cooking, serving, and relaxing areas. This type of setup turns your backyard into a complete outdoor living room where you can spend entire days and evenings without ever needing to go inside.
Popular Features We Include:
- Built-in gas or charcoal grills with custom surrounds
- Granite, marble, or concrete countertops
- Storage cabinets and drawers for cooking tools
- Bar seating with stone or brick supports
- Pizza ovens and smokers
- Built-in refrigerators and ice makers
How We Build Your Outdoor Space
Building an outdoor kitchen or fireplace requires careful planning and execution. Here is what you can expect when you work with us:
Design Consultation and Planning
We start by meeting with you at your property to see the space and understand what you want. We discuss your budget, how you plan to use the area, and any specific features you have in mind. We measure the space, check for utilities like gas and water lines, and assess the ground conditions. Then we create a detailed plan that shows exactly what we will build, where everything will go, and what materials we will use. You get to review and approve the design before we start any work, and we make changes until you are completely happy with the plan.
Foundation and Structure
Every outdoor kitchen and fireplace needs a solid foundation. We prepare the ground, pour concrete footings, and create a stable base that will support the weight of your structure for decades. This foundation work is critical because settling or shifting can cause cracks and structural problems down the road. We take our time getting this right so your outdoor space stays level and stable no matter what. Once the foundation cures, we build the main structure using brick, stone, or concrete block depending on your design. We install proper drainage to handle rain and prevent water from pooling around your cooking or seating areas.
Finishing Touches and Installation
After the main structure is complete, we add the finishing touches that make your outdoor space beautiful and functional. This includes installing countertops, adding your choice of stone veneer or other decorative elements, and setting up all your appliances. We connect gas lines, plumbing, and electrical work through licensed professionals when needed. We seal all surfaces to protect them from weather and staining. The final step is a thorough cleanup and walkthrough where we show you how to use and maintain everything. We make sure you are completely satisfied before we consider the job done.

The Benefits of Outdoor Living Spaces
Investing in an outdoor kitchen or fireplace gives you more than just a nice-looking backyard. You gain usable living space that extends your home and changes how you spend your time. Outdoor cooking keeps heat and cooking smells outside during summer months, making your indoor space more comfortable. You can entertain larger groups because guests can spread out between your indoor and outdoor areas. Kids can play in the yard while you prepare food, giving you peace of mind and keeping everyone together.
An outdoor fireplace extends your outdoor season by providing warmth on cool evenings in spring and fall. Instead of heading inside when the temperature drops, you can stay comfortable outside and enjoy the stars. Many homeowners find they use their yards much more after adding a fireplace or kitchen. What used to be wasted space becomes your favorite spot to unwind after work or gather on weekends.
These improvements also add real value to your property. Buyers love outdoor living spaces, especially in areas like Montgomery where the weather allows for year-round outdoor use. A well-built outdoor kitchen or fireplace can significantly increase your home's resale value and make it stand out in a competitive market. But more importantly, you get to enjoy these benefits every day you live there. It is an investment in your quality of life that pays dividends in comfort, convenience, and memorable experiences with the people you care about. Our team brings years of experience building these spaces throughout Montgomery, and we understand what works best in our local climate and conditions. We also offer retaining wall installation to complete your outdoor landscape design.
