A brick fireplace adds a touch of tradition and comfort to your home. Brick is one of the most recognized materials used for fireplaces, and with the variety of colors and brick styles, they can be customized to match your design aesthetic. There are several ways for brick to be laid when building a fireplace. They can be arranged in a pyramid shape with a wider base that tapers toward the top or they can be set perfectly on top onf one another to form straight clean lines. They can be continued all the way from floor to ceiling for a dramatic focal point, or they can stop at mantle level for a more traditional effect.

Flagstone is any sedimentary rock that can be cut or split into layers to create a flat stone that can be left in natural irregular shapes or cut into regular rectangular shapes to be used for a variety of masonry projects.

We then construct your firepit, using the most durable fire resistant materials on the inside and customizing the outside to create the fire pit of your dreams. We also ensure that drainage holes are installed so that all water will drain from the pit when it rains.
