Custom Outdoor Fireplace Design
Every backyard is different. The right outdoor fireplace should complement your home’s architecture, work with your existing landscape, and provide the functionality you want for your outdoor living area.
At Everything Outdoors of Tulsa, we consider four important factors when designing an outdoor fireplace: location, fireplace type, budget, and seating.
1. Choosing the Right Outdoor Fireplace Location
The location of your outdoor fireplace plays an important role in the appearance, comfort, and functionality of your backyard. Our design process considers your existing landscaping, patio, outdoor kitchen, walkways, and other outdoor living features to help determine the best placement.
Important considerations include:
- Convenience: Positioning a fireplace near your patio or outdoor kitchen can make entertaining and serving food easier.
- Privacy: Landscaping, walls, and strategic placement can help create a more private outdoor gathering space.
- Visual appeal: An outdoor fireplace can serve as a focal point that brings together your patio, garden, and other landscape features.
- Space and safety: Adequate clearance, ventilation, applicable building codes, and manufacturer requirements must be considered when selecting a location.
- Integration with your landscape: A well-planned fireplace should complement your existing yard and other outdoor improvements.
Our team can help you evaluate your property and incorporate your new fireplace into a cohesive outdoor living design.
2. Selecting the Best Type of Outdoor Fireplace
The best outdoor fireplace depends on how you plan to use your backyard. Some homeowners want a relaxing place to gather around a fire, while others want a more elaborate outdoor entertainment area.
Wood-Burning Outdoor Fireplaces
Wood-burning fireplaces offer a traditional fire experience and the familiar atmosphere of a crackling wood fire. They can be an attractive choice for homeowners who enjoy gathering outdoors on cool evenings. Consider wood storage, ash removal, smoke direction, and ongoing maintenance when planning this type of fireplace.
Gas Outdoor Fireplaces
Gas fireplaces provide convenient operation without the need to store firewood or clean up wood ash. Depending on the system selected, they can offer a modern appearance and straightforward fire control. Proper gas connections and installation by qualified professionals are essential.
Custom Outdoor Fireplaces
A custom outdoor fireplace can be designed to complement your home’s style and the overall layout of your backyard. Options may include natural stone, brick, decorative masonry, and other materials selected to match your outdoor living space.
Outdoor Fireplaces With Cooking Features
For homeowners who enjoy cooking and entertaining outdoors, certain fireplace designs can incorporate cooking features, grill grates, or specialized pizza oven components. The appropriate design depends on your intended use, available space, and equipment requirements.
Everything Outdoors of Tulsa can help you explore fireplace styles and determine which design best fits your property and outdoor entertaining goals.
3. Understanding Outdoor Fireplace Costs
The cost of an outdoor fireplace depends on the size, materials, design complexity, fuel type, site preparation, and additional features.
As a preliminary planning estimate, outdoor fireplace projects have historically started at approximately $7,500, with custom installations potentially costing more depending on the scope of work. Your specific project price will depend on the fireplace design and the improvements required to complete the installation.
Factors that may affect the total investment include:
- Fireplace dimensions and construction materials
- Natural stone, brick, masonry, or other finishes
- Wood-burning or gas-burning components
- Site access and preparation requirements
- Patio construction and surrounding hardscaping
- Seating walls, landscaping, and lighting
- Additional outdoor kitchen or entertainment features
Planning these elements together can help you establish a realistic budget and create an outdoor living area that meets your needs.

4. Designing a Comfortable Outdoor Fireplace Seating Area
A fireplace becomes even more inviting when it is surrounded by a thoughtfully designed seating area. The right layout creates a natural gathering place for conversations, family time, and outdoor entertaining.
When planning your seating area, consider how many people you typically entertain, whether you want to dine outdoors, and how the fireplace will connect with the rest of your backyard.
Popular outdoor fireplace seating options include:
- Comfortable outdoor chairs arranged around the fireplace
- Built-in seating walls that complement stonework and patios
- Outdoor sofas and conversation areas
- Covered seating areas or pergolas where appropriate
- Patio spaces connected to an outdoor kitchen
- Landscaped gathering areas with lighting and defined walkways
Your seating area can also help define different outdoor living zones, creating a natural connection between your fireplace, patio, garden, pool, and outdoor kitchen.
Our team can help coordinate these elements to create an attractive, functional backyard design.
