Why Add an Outdoor Fireplace to Your Phoenix Backyard

An outdoor fireplace isn’t just a visual upgrade—it changes how you use your backyard. In Phoenix, where outdoor living is part of everyday life, a custom-built fireplace creates a defined space for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying cooler desert evenings.

A professionally designed outdoor fireplace installation adds both function and long-term value to your home. It extends the usability of your outdoor space, enhances your patio layout, and becomes a natural focal point for gatherings with family and friends.

Benefits of a professionally installed outdoor fireplace:

  • Year-round use of your outdoor living space in Arizona’s climate
  • Increased home value and curb appeal
  • Safe, code-compliant construction
  • Built with durable materials like CMU, firebrick, and refractory mortar
  • Custom finishes including travertine, limestone, and natural stone
  • Seamless integration with patios, pavers, and outdoor kitchens

Our Outdoor Fireplace Installation Process

Every outdoor fireplace we build combines craftsmanship, safety, and long-term performance. From your first design consultation to your final chimney cap, every step is handled by our experienced hardscape and masonry team.

Foundation & Block Layout

We start with a reinforced concrete base and structural CMU blocks to form your firebox and hearth. Proper foundation and alignment ensure stability and prevent cracking over time.

Firebox Construction & Lintel Placement

We install firebrick liners using high-temperature refractory mortar, then set the lintel across the opening for structural support. Every firebox is sized and vented correctly for optimal airflow and smoke control.

Chimney, Flue & Smoke Chamber

Next, we construct the smoke chamber and install the flue system—designed to meet local codes and maximize draft. For open fire pits, we plan venting to prevent smoke buildup and ensure a clean burn.

Stone Veneer & Finishing

Finally, we apply natural stone, travertine, or brick veneer around the exterior to match your patio or hardscape. The result is a cohesive outdoor centerpiece that ties your whole landscape together.

Austin and his crew did a phenomenal job on our backyard. From day one he went over our design carefully, gave us a honest estimate, added excellent ideas and proceeded to start on the day he said he would. The crew was polite, knowledgeable, cleaned up their work space everyday and were masters at their
trade. Geo was the project lead, he was so attentive to detail. He laid out the pavers to perfection. Our Pergola swing turned out beautiful. Everything about our yard turned out spectacular. We are definitely going to use Austin and his talented crew for future projects this summer. Thank you Platinum Outdoors for a job well done!

Austin and his team at Platinum Outdoors were nothing short of perfection!
We moved into our new home over a month ago and had paint, flooring, bathroom reno, framing, you name it done to our home. Every single project we started quickly ran into serious issues and we were always provided crews that were messy and not qualified to be doing the work.
However Austin’s team lead by Leo were professional, organized, timely, respectful and most importantly true craftsman’s at their trade. For everything that has gone wrong for us during this move, Platinum Outdoors is the true bright spot and they earned a customer for life.

Outdoor Stone Fireplaces for Arizona Backyards

A stone outdoor fireplace brings warmth and character to your backyard, tying together your landscaping and outdoor living space. Whether you love the look of a wood-burning fireplace or want the convenience of an electric fireplace, we build each one with care — from the first trowel of mortar to the final stone veneer.

These fireplaces aren’t just for show. They create a cozy spot to gather around the outdoor fire, cook over a wood stove, or enjoy quiet evenings outside. Every build is customized to your space, your style, and Arizona’s outdoor lifestyle.

FAQs

How much does an outdoor fireplace cost in Phoenix?

Most projects range from $3,000 to $10,000+, depending on design and materials.

Do I need a permit to build an outdoor fireplace in Arizona?

Yes, in most cities. We handle the permitting process to ensure code compliance.

Can you build a gas fireplace instead of wood-burning?

Absolutely. We install both natural gas and propane fireplaces with safety-certified hookups.

What’s the difference between an outdoor fireplace and a fire pit?

A fireplace is enclosed with a chimney and directs smoke upward, while a fire pit is open and better for group seating.

We recommend CMU block with firebrick lining and a stone veneer exterior for durability and heat resistance.
