Brick Outdoor Fireplace Broken Arrow OK | Brick Fireplace Builder
VistaScapes & Design builds outdoor brick fireplaces in Broken Arrow using traditional masonry construction techniques — the kind of fireplace that functions correctly, drafts properly, and will still be standing and working in 40 years. Not a decorative feature, but a real working masonry fireplace built to the same standards as an indoor fireplace.
Outdoor Brick Fireplace Construction in Broken Arrow
Here’s exactly how we build brick outdoor fireplaces:
- Concrete footing — properly sized and reinforced footing poured below frost depth
- CMU structural core — concrete block forms the structural base and firebox surround
- Fire brick firebox — refractory fire brick lines the firebox interior; rated for sustained flame exposure
- Smoke chamber — masonry smoke chamber above the firebox opening shaped to direct draft upward
- Flue tile liner — clay flue tiles sized to the firebox opening run up through the chimney column
- Exterior brick veneer — face brick in your chosen color and texture applied over the structural core
- Chimney crown — concrete crown at the chimney top sheds water away from the flue
- Spark arrestor — metal spark arrestor at the chimney cap; required for outdoor fireplaces
Brick Selection for Broken Arrow Outdoor Fireplaces
For outdoor fireplaces in Broken Arrow, we specify exterior-rated face brick — brick with lower water absorption that withstands freeze-thaw cycles better than interior brick. We discuss brick color and texture options during the estimate visit — warm buff tones, traditional red clay, and variegated blends are all popular in the Broken Arrow area.
Brick Fireplace + Outdoor Living Integration
A brick fireplace becomes a focal point for the entire outdoor living space. We design the fireplace in relation to the patio, seating area, and any pergola structure so the finished outdoor space has the fireplace as a proper architectural anchor rather than an afterthought add-on.
