Designs we build
Beautiful outdoor fireplace ideas for every home
At Sequoia, we help homeowners create living spaces that feel warm and inviting all year round. If you're looking to add comfort, style, and character to your home, we've put together a collection of outdoor fireplace ideas to help you find the perfect design for your space.
Woodburning Fireplace
For a classic home design, a wood burning fireplace is an excellent choice. They offer a gas-free operation and produce natural fire sounds and smells.
Gas Fireplace
Looking for a fireplace that's easy to maintain? Gas fireplaces need the least attention. They light fast, don't smell, and rarely need to be cleaned.
Chimineas
Another fireplace we can provide is a chiminea. These hand-decorated outdoor fireplaces have been around since the 16th/17th century and add unique character to any patio or garden.
Built-In Wood Boxes
If you go with a wood burning fireplace, we can help build a built-in wood box to store all your fuel. This keeps things tidy and cozy around your fireplace while enhancing the overall look.
Built-In Shelving
For maximizing your living space, built-in shelving around your fireplace is a perfect solution. These custom designs frame your fireplace while providing ample storage for books and decor.
Two-Sided See-Through
A popular choice for homes with open layouts is a two-sided fireplace design. These fireplaces connect two rooms and let you enjoy the warmth and view of the flames from both spaces.
