Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens

Transform Your Backyard into an Outdoor Living Room

Imagine spending cool evenings around a crackling fire, hosting summer barbecues at your own outdoor kitchen, or simply enjoying your backyard year-round instead of just a few months. Outdoor fireplaces and kitchens turn your yard into a true extension of your home. They create gathering spaces where family and friends naturally congregate. They also add significant value to your property and make your home stand out in the neighborhood.

Here in Roseville, CA, the climate is perfect for outdoor living. We have mild winters and warm summers that let you use outdoor spaces most of the year. An outdoor fireplace extends your outdoor season into cooler months when you want the ambiance of fire without heating up your house. An outdoor kitchen means you do not have to run back and forth between your grill and indoor kitchen. Everything you need is right there in your backyard.

At RV Roseville Masonry, we design and build custom outdoor fireplaces and kitchens tailored to how you actually use your space. We handle everything from initial planning through final installation, including gas lines, electrical work coordination, and all masonry construction. Whether you want a simple fire pit or a complete outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and bar seating, we bring the expertise to make your vision a reality.

Outdoor Fireplace Options and Designs

From Fire Pits to Full Chimneys

Outdoor fireplaces come in many styles, each creating a different atmosphere and serving different purposes. The right choice depends on your space, budget, and how you want to use the feature.

Fire pits are the most casual and versatile option. They create a central gathering point where people sit around in a circle. Fire pits work well in larger yards and can be round, square, or custom shapes. You can build them at ground level or raise them for easier access. Fire pits use wood or gas fuel depending on your preference and local regulations. They are typically the most affordable outdoor fire feature.

Traditional outdoor fireplaces with chimneys provide more focused heat direction and smoke control. They work better in smaller spaces where you want heat projection without smoke blowing in your face. These fireplaces often become stunning focal points with stone surrounds, mantels, and built-in seating areas. They can burn wood or use gas logs for convenience. Full chimney fireplaces cost more than fire pits but create dramatic architectural features that define your outdoor space.

We also build hybrid designs that combine elements of both styles. Your outdoor fireplace can be part of a larger structure that includes stone patios, built-in seating, and outdoor kitchen components. We design everything to work together visually and functionally. The materials we use complement your home exterior and coordinate with other hardscape features on your property.

Building Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen

Essential Features and Smart Layouts

A well-designed outdoor kitchen is about more than just a grill on your patio. It is a complete cooking and entertaining space that functions as smoothly as your indoor kitchen. We work with you to plan layouts that include the features you will actually use while avoiding unnecessary elements that add cost without value.

Here are the most popular outdoor kitchen components we build:

• Built-in grills with adequate counter space on both sides for food prep
• Refrigerators and ice makers to keep beverages and ingredients cold
• Sinks with running water for food prep and cleanup
• Storage cabinets and drawers for utensils, plates, and cooking supplies
• Pizza ovens for authentic wood-fired cooking
• Side burners for sauces, side dishes, and additional cooking capacity
• Bar areas with seating for guests to gather while you cook
• Covered structures or pergolas for shade and weather protection

Layout matters as much as the components you choose. We design outdoor kitchens with logical work triangles just like indoor kitchens. Your grill, sink, and prep areas should be positioned for efficient movement. We also consider traffic flow so guests can access drinks and snacks without getting in the cook's way. Good design makes outdoor cooking enjoyable rather than frustrating.

The masonry work includes building sturdy bases and surrounds for all your appliances using concrete blocks faced with stone veneer or brick. These structures must withstand weather exposure and support heavy appliances safely. We coordinate with plumbers and electricians to ensure all utilities are properly installed and meet code requirements. The result is an outdoor kitchen that looks beautiful and functions perfectly for years.
