Outdoor Fireplace Design & Installation in Mission Bend

We design, engineer, and build outdoor fireplaces and fire features that perform in Gulf Coast weather. Every project follows NFPA 54/211 standards, with licensed trades and quality materials for durability, safety, and style.

Custom Outdoor Fireplace Construction

Your vision shouldn’t be limited by a kit. We create one‑of‑a‑kind fireplaces sized for your patio and wind conditions, using CMU cores with vertical rebar/grout, engineered footings, and firebrick liners set with refractory mortar. Finishes include Austin stone, brick, or stucco with cast‑stone caps and sealed veneer. Our NFI‑certified team orients the firebox to reduce smoke, integrates LED accent lighting, and ensures clearances to combustibles. Learn more about our Custom Outdoor Fireplace Construction services.

Outdoor Gas Fireplace Installation

Prefer clean, consistent heat without smoke or embers? We install natural gas or propane systems with stainless/brass burners, keyed shutoffs, and smart electronic ignition. Gas line trenching and hookup are coordinated with a TSBPE‑licensed plumber, and CSST bonding/grounding is addressed when applicable. We pressure‑test with a manometer and check for leaks before finish work. Add fire glass or lava rock media for a modern look. Learn more about our Outdoor Gas Fireplace Installation services.

Stone Outdoor Fireplace Construction

Bring timeless warmth to your yard with hand‑set limestone, sandstone, slate, or manufactured stone veneer. We cut and shape with diamond‑blade saws, anchor veneer for movement, and weather‑seal for Houston humidity. Steel lintels support openings; flues are sized per NFPA 211 and topped with a rain cap and spark arrestor. Choose herringbone firebrick for classic detail and add a mantle or TV niche above with proper heat shielding. Learn more about our Stone Outdoor Fireplace Construction services.

Outdoor Kitchen & Fireplace Combination Construction

Create a complete entertaining hub by pairing your fireplace with an island, grill, and seating walls. We plan ventilation, drainage, and wind exposure, then integrate gas and electrical with licensed trades (TSBPE/TDLR). Surfaces include porcelain or travertine pavers, while low‑voltage lighting boosts safety and ambiance. Our team coordinates HOA packets and site plans for smooth approvals in Mission Bend North and South. Learn more about our Outdoor Kitchen & Fireplace Combination Construction services.

We specify stainless/brass burners, rain caps, and chimney spark arrestors to stand up to Gulf Coast weather.

Our crews use laser levels, masonry saws with diamond blades, and gas leak detectors/manometers for accuracy and safety. Details like drainage planes, capstone drip edges, and veneer anchoring reduce callbacks and keep your investment looking new.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for my outdoor fire feature in Mission Bend?
Often yes. Gas lines require permits and inspections through Fort Bend or Harris County, and HOA approval is typical in Mission Bend. We provide drawings, specs, and finish samples, then coordinate with a TSBPE‑licensed plumber and the county for inspections. Wood‑burning features must follow NFPA 211 clearances and any seasonal burn‑ban advisories. We handle the paperwork so installation stays compliant and on schedule.
What’s better for Houston backyards: gas or wood?
Gas delivers low‑smoke, push‑button convenience and fewer embers - great for covered patios and tighter lots. Wood offers classic crackle and lower upfront cost but needs more clearance, storage, and maintenance. In the Houston area, many Mission Bend homeowners choose natural gas or propane with electronic ignition for reliability during humid, windy conditions. We’ll help you compare total cost, heat output, and HOA guidelines before deciding.
Can I put an outdoor fireplace under a covered patio?
Yes, with proper design. We size the firebox and flue per NFPA 211, add heat shielding, and maintain clearances to combustibles. Gas models with sealed systems and chimney caps reduce smoke under roofs. We also address vent height above the patio cover and TV heat deflection if you plan a screen above. Our TDLR‑licensed electrician handles ignition and lighting safely.
How much does an outdoor fireplace cost to build in 2025?
In the Houston area, custom masonry fireplaces typically range from $8,500–$22,000+, depending on size, gas vs. wood, stone selection, and site access. Linear gas feature walls, TV niches, and outdoor kitchen ties can increase costs. Prefab kits with professional installation often start around $6,500. We offer transparent, itemized quotes and same‑day virtual estimates for Mission Bend addresses.
How far should a fire pit or fireplace be from my house?
A common rule is at least 10 feet from combustible structures and materials, but exact clearances depend on the appliance and local code. We verify manufacturer specs, NFPA guidance, and HOA rules, then mark safe distances on site. For covered patios, we include shielding, ventilation, and spark arrestors to protect roofing and siding.
Do you handle HOA submissions and provide drawings?
Yes. We prepare plan views, elevations, finish selections, and burner/gas specs that HOAs in Mission Bend typically require. Our team communicates with your HOA committee, answers follow‑up questions, and revises submittals if needed. This speeds approval and avoids costly rework. You’ll receive a copy of all documents for your records.
Can you build a gas fire feature that stays compliant during burn bans?
We recommend gas fireplaces or fire pits with automatic shutoff and key‑valve control. These produce no embers and typically remain usable during many county burn bans, though you should always check the current Fort Bend Fire Marshal advisories. We’ll design for safe operation with proper shutoff locations, ignition interlocks, and weatherproof components.
Will you trench and coordinate permits for a new gas line?
Absolutely. We map the route, call for utility locates, trench with proper depth/sleeving, and coordinate inspections. A TSBPE‑licensed plumber performs the installation and pressure testing with a manometer. We also place the exterior shutoff key in an accessible, code‑compliant location and provide as‑built photos for your files.
Do you serve both 77083 and 77407 - and offer bilingual consultations?
Yes, we serve all of Mission Bend, including 77083 and 77407, plus nearby Sugar Land, Alief, and Richmond. We provide bilingual (English/Spanish) consultations, same‑day virtual estimates, and on‑site visits. Hablamos español y podemos ayudar con planos para HOA, permisos, y opciones de gas o leña según su patio.
Can I mount a TV above my outdoor fireplace?
Often, yes. We plan mantel depth, heat deflection, and air gaps to protect electronics, and specify non‑combustible finishes near the opening. For gas models, we can use low‑profile linear burners and heat‑management kits. We’ll measure real‑world temps during startup and recommend a safe mounting height and materials based on your unit.
