Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Design and build the ultimate outdoor entertaining space with custom fireplaces and fully equipped kitchens that bring luxury living to your backyard.
Transform Your Backyard Into an Entertainment Hub
Why spend all your time cooking and entertaining indoors when Florida's weather makes outdoor living so appealing? An outdoor kitchen and fireplace take your backyard from ordinary to extraordinary. You get a dedicated space for cooking, dining, and gathering that keeps the heat and mess out of your house while creating memories with family and friends.
At HLM Hialeah Masonry, we specialize in building custom outdoor living spaces that combine functionality with stunning design. Whether you want a simple fireplace as a focal point or a complete outdoor kitchen with all the amenities, we bring your vision to life with expert masonry craftsmanship. Our work throughout Hialeah and surrounding communities has transformed countless backyards into true outdoor living rooms.
Outdoor fireplaces and kitchens are not just about cooking food. They create ambiance. They extend your living season into cooler months. They become the centerpiece of your outdoor space where everyone naturally gathers. Plus, they add significant value to your home. When potential buyers see a well-designed outdoor living area, they immediately imagine themselves using it, and that emotional connection translates to higher offers.
We work with you from initial concept through final construction, ensuring every detail matches your lifestyle and your property. You deserve an outdoor space that works as hard as you do when entertaining, and we are here to build it.
What You Can Include in Your Outdoor Kitchen and Fireplace
The possibilities are nearly endless when designing an outdoor living space. Here are the features our Hialeah clients request most often:
Popular Outdoor Kitchen Features
- •Built-in grills and smokers that become permanent fixtures instead of rolling around on wheels. We create custom openings sized perfectly for your equipment.
- •Stone or brick countertops with granite, marble, or concrete surfaces that withstand weather and heavy use without fading or deteriorating.
- •Storage cabinets and drawers to keep utensils, dishes, and supplies organized and protected from the elements.
- •Outdoor refrigerators and ice makers that keep drinks cold and eliminate trips back to the house during gatherings.
- •Pizza ovens for authentic wood-fired cooking that impresses guests and creates restaurant-quality meals at home.
- •Bar seating areas where guests can sit comfortably while you cook and socialize at the same time.
Outdoor Fireplace Options
Fireplaces come in several styles to match your aesthetic and functional needs. Traditional wood-burning fireplaces create authentic ambiance with crackling flames and that unmistakable wood smoke smell. Gas fireplaces offer convenience with instant ignition and easy control. Fire pits provide a more casual, gathering-around-the-campfire feel that works great for larger groups.
We build fireplaces using brick, natural stone, or manufactured stone veneer to match your home's architecture. We include proper chimneys, fireboxes rated for outdoor use, and all necessary safety features. The result is a fireplace that looks stunning and operates safely for years.
The best outdoor spaces combine both elements. Picture this: you are grilling dinner while your family relaxes by the fire. The sun sets. The temperature drops slightly. Everyone stays comfortable and happy in your backyard instead of heading inside. That is the magic of a well-designed outdoor kitchen and fireplace combination. Pair it with a beautiful custom patio, and you have created an outdoor retreat you will use constantly.
Our Custom Design and Construction Process
Building an outdoor kitchen or fireplace requires careful planning and expert execution. We have refined our process over hundreds of projects to deliver results that exceed expectations every time.
Step 1: Consultation and Custom Design
We start by meeting with you at your property to understand your vision, your budget, and how you plan to use the space. How often do you entertain? Do you cook elaborate meals or keep it simple? What is your design style? We take measurements, evaluate existing structures, and discuss utility access for gas, water, and electricity. Then we create a custom design that incorporates all your must-haves while suggesting features you might not have considered.
Step 2: Material Selection and Permits
We help you choose materials that match your home and stand up to Florida's climate. We bring samples so you can see colors and textures in your actual outdoor lighting. We handle all permit applications and ensure the design meets local building codes. You do not have to worry about the paperwork. We take care of everything so you can focus on the exciting parts of the project.
Step 3: Foundation and Framework Construction
Just like our retaining walls, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces need solid foundations. We excavate, pour concrete footings, and build the structural framework that supports countertops and appliances. We run utility lines for gas, water, and electricity according to code. This phase is all about getting the bones right so everything else goes smoothly.
Step 4: Masonry Work and Finishing
Our skilled masons build the structure using your chosen materials. We install countertops, create openings for appliances, build firebox surrounds, construct chimneys, and add all the decorative elements that make your outdoor space unique. We pay attention to every detail, from perfectly aligned mortar joints to seamless transitions between materials. When we finish, you have a complete outdoor kitchen and fireplace ready to use and enjoy for decades.

Yes, in most cases you will need permits for outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, especially if they involve gas lines, electrical work, or permanent structures. Building codes exist to ensure safety and proper construction. We handle all permit applications and work directly with local building inspectors to ensure everything meets code requirements. This protects you legally and ensures your outdoor kitchen operates safely. Some jurisdictions also have specific setback requirements from property lines and structures, which we address during the design phase.
Project timelines depend on complexity and size. A standalone outdoor fireplace typically takes one to two weeks from start to finish. A basic outdoor kitchen might take two to three weeks. Elaborate designs with multiple features, custom stonework, and extensive utility installations can take four to six weeks or longer. Permit approval time adds to the schedule. Weather delays are also possible since masonry work requires dry conditions. We provide a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the construction process so you always know what to expect.
