An outdoor fireplace is more than a heat source — it’s a gathering point. It’s the feature that turns your backyard into a destination after sunset, extends your outdoor season well into Oklahoma’s cooler fall months, and becomes the focal point of every outdoor entertaining space it anchors. VistaScapes & Design builds custom outdoor fireplaces and fire features throughout Broken Arrow and the greater Tulsa metro area.
Custom Outdoor Fireplace Options
Built-In Gas Outdoor Fireplaces
Gas outdoor fireplaces are the most popular choice for Broken Arrow homeowners — and for good reason. Instant on/off convenience, no wood storage or ash cleanup, consistent flame height, and the ability to be fully integrated into your outdoor kitchen or pavilion structure. We run dedicated gas lines, install the appropriate gas insert or burner system, and finish the surround with natural stone, manufactured stone, or cast concrete according to your design vision.
Wood-Burning Outdoor Fireplaces
For clients who want the authentic crackle and scent of a wood-burning fire, we build traditional masonry outdoor fireplaces with refractory firebrick fireboxes, proper chimney flues, and beautiful stone or brick surrounds. Wood-burning fireplaces require more involved construction (engineered footing, proper firebox proportions for draw, chimney sizing) — which is why expertise matters. VistaScapes builds wood-burning outdoor fireplaces correctly, so they draw properly and last decades.
Built-In Fire Pits
A built-in gas fire pit — integrated into a patio surface, stone hardscape, or surrounding seating wall — creates a gathering point without the vertical structure of a fireplace. Popular for pool surrounds, open patio areas, and outdoor living spaces where you don’t want to block sightlines. Gas fire pits can include fire glass, lava rock, or natural river rock for aesthetic variety.
Fire Tables
A fire table is a tabletop-height surface with a built-in gas fire feature in the center — it functions as both a surface and a fire feature simultaneously. Popular in dining and seating configurations where a traditional fire pit would disrupt conversation or sightlines. We build custom concrete fire tables sized to your space.
Why an Outdoor Fireplace Extends Your Oklahoma Outdoor Season
Broken Arrow’s outdoor living season runs March through November under normal conditions — but a fire feature pushes that window into December and even January for evenings when temperatures drop into the 40s. Oklahoma has relatively mild winters compared to northern climates, and a gas fireplace or fire pit makes those cool fall and early winter evenings genuinely comfortable outdoors. Our clients consistently report that their outdoor fire features become the most-used feature in their backyard from September through January.
VistaScapes & Design builds outdoor fire features throughout Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Coweta, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, and Glenpool, Oklahoma.
