Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Create unforgettable outdoor living spaces with custom fireplaces and kitchens that bring comfort, style, and functionality to your backyard.
Transform Your Backyard Into an Outdoor Paradise
Imagine spending cool evenings gathered around a crackling fire with friends and family, or hosting unforgettable summer cookouts in your own outdoor kitchen. These aren't just luxuries anymore. They're practical additions that extend your living space, increase your home's value, and give you a reason to actually use your backyard year-round.
In Fremont, CA, where the weather is perfect for outdoor living most of the year, we've built hundreds of outdoor fireplaces and kitchens that have completely transformed how homeowners use their properties. An outdoor fireplace creates a cozy gathering spot on chilly nights, while a full outdoor kitchen means you can prepare entire meals without running back and forth to your indoor kitchen. These features pay for themselves in the memories you'll make and the value they add to your home.
At FRM Fremont Masonry, we specialize in custom outdoor living spaces built with quality materials and expert craftsmanship. From simple fire pits to elaborate outdoor kitchens with pizza ovens and bars, we bring your outdoor living dreams to life with designs that match your home's style and your lifestyle.

Our Design and Construction Process
Building an outdoor fireplace or kitchen is a significant investment, and we take every project seriously. Our process ensures you get exactly what you want, built to last and meet all safety codes.
Step 1: Design Consultation and Planning
We start by meeting with you at your property to discuss your vision, assess the space, and understand how you plan to use your outdoor area. We'll show you design options, material samples, and help you decide which features make the most sense for your lifestyle and budget. We create detailed plans and 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished space.
Step 2: Permits and Site Preparation
Outdoor fireplaces and kitchens require building permits and must meet local fire codes. We handle all the paperwork and inspections so you don't have to worry about it. Once permits are approved, we prepare the site, pour foundations, and run necessary gas lines, electrical, and plumbing. Our experience with patio construction ensures proper integration with your outdoor space.
Step 3: Masonry Construction
We build the structure using quality materials like natural stone, brick, stucco, or concrete block. Every detail matters, from the firebox and chimney design to the countertop installation and cabinet integration. We ensure proper ventilation, drainage, and weather protection so your outdoor kitchen stands up to years of use.
Step 4: Finishing Touches and Final Inspection
We install appliances, lighting, and any custom features, then clean up the entire site. A final inspection ensures everything meets code requirements and works perfectly. We'll walk you through how to use and maintain your new outdoor space so you can start enjoying it immediately.
