An outdoor fireplace does something a fire pit simply cannot — it creates a defined focal point and architectural presence in your outdoor living space. In Catoosa, where homeowners are investing in quality outdoor living environments, a custom outdoor fireplace from VistaScapes Design & Build becomes the centerpiece of a backyard that gets used twelve months a year.

Custom Outdoor Fireplaces in Catoosa Oklahoma
VistaScapes builds outdoor fireplaces using natural stone, brick, and stucco finishes in wood-burning and gas configurations. We design each fireplace specific to your property — the size of the outdoor space, the style of your home, and how you want to use the fireplace all factor into the design. A fireplace for a large entertaining patio is designed very differently from an intimate fireplace for a secluded garden seating area.
Built the Right Way
Outdoor fireplaces are masonry structures that must be built correctly to function safely and last. VistaScapes constructs outdoor fireplaces with proper footings below the frost line, a correctly proportioned firebox and throat, mortared flue tiles for wood-burning models, and a spark arrestor cap at the chimney top. The smoke chamber is constructed to create proper draft so your fireplace draws smoke up and out rather than into the seating area.
We do not take shortcuts in fireplace construction because there is no acceptable shortcut. An improperly built outdoor fireplace is a safety hazard and will fail structurally within a few years. Every VistaScapes outdoor fireplace is built with the same standards we would apply to an indoor fireplace — the only difference is the exterior finish materials.
Wood-Burning Fireplaces vs. Gas Fireplaces
Wood-burning outdoor fireplaces give you the full experience — real flame, crackling fire, wood smoke. They require proper flue and chimney construction and need a source of dry firewood. Many Catoosa homeowners prefer wood-burning for the authentic atmosphere.
Gas outdoor fireplaces use a gas log set or burner connected to your natural gas line or propane tank. They ignite instantly, produce consistent flames with minimal smoke, and require almost no cleanup. Gas fireplaces are ideal for homeowners who want convenience and frequent use without the effort of managing firewood.
Fireplace Design Styles for Catoosa Homes
VistaScapes has built outdoor fireplaces in a variety of styles across northeastern Oklahoma. Natural fieldstone fireplaces work beautifully with wooded or rural properties. Brick fireplaces integrate naturally with brick-clad homes. Contemporary stucco fireplaces with clean lines and gas burners fit modern architectural styles. We bring design references and material samples to your consultation so you can visualize the options in your own yard.
