Fireplaces

An outdoor fireplace is the ultimate statement piece for a Long Island patio. Unlike a firepit, a fireplace directs warmth forward toward your seating area, provides a dramatic vertical focal point, and manages smoke through a chimney, delivering a level of sophistication that sets your backyard apart. Brothers Paving designs and constructs custom outdoor fireplaces across Nassau and Suffolk County, extending your outdoor season well into fall and early spring when temperatures dip into the 40s and 50s.

We build fireplaces using fire-rated brick, concrete block, and your choice of exterior finish: stacked natural stone for a rustic look, cut bluestone for a classic feel, or manufactured stone veneer for a clean contemporary appearance. The interior firebox is constructed with firebrick and refractory mortar to withstand extreme heat. Custom mantels in natural stone, cast stone, or wood beam styles add character, and configurations range from standard single-sided designs to two-sided see-through fireplaces that divide patio zones. Integrated wood storage, shelving, and TV mounting areas are also available.

Construction starts with a reinforced concrete footing extending below the frost line to support the structure. The fireplace is built course by course with steel reinforcement as needed, and the chimney is constructed to proper height with a cap and spark arrestor. Both wood-burning and gas fuel options are available. We use materials rated for Long Island freeze-thaw exposure and seal all masonry joints to prevent water infiltration.
