An outdoor fireplace is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a Broken Arrow outdoor living space. It creates a focal point, extends the usable season well into fall and winter, and adds genuine home value. But outdoor fireplaces vary widely in cost — from a simple prefab unit to a full custom stone fireplace that’s the centerpiece of the backyard. Here’s an honest cost breakdown for Broken Arrow in 2025.
Prefab Outdoor Fireplace Kit — $3,500–$7,000 Installed
Prefabricated outdoor fireplace units (Isokern, Rumford-style prefab) provide a correctly engineered firebox and flue system in a kit format. These are installed on a masonry footing and then finished with stone or brick veneer. Prefab kits reduce labor time and ensure the combustion geometry is correct. This is a good middle-ground option that avoids the cost of full custom masonry while delivering a well-functioning fireplace.
Custom Masonry Outdoor Fireplace — $8,000–$20,000+ Installed
A fully custom masonry outdoor fireplace built from the footing up in CMU block with natural stone or brick veneer represents the premium in outdoor fireplace construction. This is the approach VistaScapes uses for full custom builds — proper footing to frost depth, CMU block structure, refractory brick firebox, corbeled smoke chamber, clay flue tile liner, and natural stone or brick face. The result is a permanent structure that looks and functions right and lasts decades.
Gas Outdoor Fireplace — $5,000–$15,000 Installed
A gas outdoor fireplace using a direct-vent or open-front gas log insert eliminates wood storage and fire starting while delivering reliable heat and ambiance on demand. Gas fireplace inserts must be installed in an approved housing structure with the correct vent path. The fireplace surround, mantel, and hearth are finished identically to a wood-burning unit. Gas line installation by a licensed plumber is included in this cost range.
What Drives Outdoor Fireplace Cost in Broken Arrow
- Size — firebox opening width and hearth size directly affect material quantities
- Stone type — Oklahoma flagstone and ledgestone are less expensive than Tennessee crab orchard or imported granite
- Height and chimney length — taller chimneys require more materials and a taller work platform
- Mantel and hearth complexity — stone slab mantels add cost over simple header courses
- Integration with outdoor kitchen — combined fireplace-kitchen structures are efficient to build together
- Gas vs. wood burning — gas adds the cost of line installation but removes ongoing wood cost
