While the idea of having a cozy spot to gather and enjoy the crackling fire sounds appealing, it may not be the most practical investment if you only anticipate using it once or twice a year. Outdoor fireplaces are an investment to install and require regular cleaning, maintenance, fuel, and possibly even professional services.
So, ultimately, the decision comes down to your desired usage level, budget, and space availability for your outdoor living space. Consider these factors before making a decision to ensure that you are investing in a feature that aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.
Choosing between gas and wood for your new custom outdoor fireplace is a big decision. Wood-burning fireplaces are traditional and provide the most heat, but they require a lot of maintenance. So, consulting with a professional designer can help you make the best decision for your home and family.
We find many homeowners prefer gas fireplaces because they are easier to use and more convenient. With a gas fireplace, you can enjoy a cozy fire by simply flipping a switch.

When selecting materials for your new custom outdoor fireplace, it’s important to consider the architecture and style of your home. Since each house has its own unique architectural characteristics, it’s crucial to choose materials that complement these existing features, or you could get stuck with an eyesore.
By selecting natural materials as your starting point, such as veneer or faux stone, you can ensure a cohesive look when it comes to investing in your home. It’s essential to match the colors and textures of these materials with your home’s design.
