Outdoor Fireplaces & Kitchens
Transform your backyard into a year-round entertainment space with custom outdoor living features.
Why Invest in Outdoor Living Spaces?
Your backyard should be more than just grass and a patio. When you add an outdoor fireplace or kitchen, you create a true extension of your home where family and friends naturally gather. These features let you enjoy your property year-round, not just during the warmest months.
Outdoor fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance on cool Rancho Cucamonga evenings. They become the focal point of your outdoor space, creating a cozy atmosphere for conversations and s'mores. An outdoor kitchen takes things even further by letting you prepare entire meals without running back and forth to your indoor kitchen.
From a practical standpoint, these additions significantly boost your home's value. Real estate agents consistently report that well-designed outdoor living spaces are among the most sought-after features for buyers in Southern California. You get to enjoy the space now while building equity for the future.
Here's what makes our installations stand out:
- Custom designs tailored to your yard's size and layout
- Premium materials built to withstand weather and daily use
- Proper ventilation and safety features for fire elements
- Integration with existing landscaping and hardscaping
- Code-compliant gas lines and electrical work
Design Options for Every Style and Budget
Outdoor Fireplaces
We build everything from traditional wood-burning fireplaces to modern gas-powered units. Wood-burning options give you that authentic crackling fire experience, while gas fireplaces offer instant warmth at the flip of a switch.
Your fireplace can be a standalone feature or integrated into a larger outdoor room design. We work with natural stone, brick, and cultured stone to match your home's architecture. Mantels, seating walls, and built-in storage can all be incorporated into the design.
Outdoor Kitchens
Start with the basics like a built-in grill and counter space, then add features based on how you cook and entertain. Many of our clients include a sink with running water, refrigerator space, and plenty of prep areas.
We can incorporate pizza ovens, smokers, warming drawers, and bar seating into your layout. The key is creating a functional workspace that flows well while using durable materials that handle Rancho Cucamonga's climate without constant maintenance.
When designing your outdoor living space, we consider factors like prevailing winds, sun exposure, and sight lines from inside your home. The goal is creating a space that feels natural and inviting, not like an afterthought added to your yard.
Our team at RCM Rancho Cucamonga Masonry works with you from the initial consultation through final cleanup. We help you make decisions about layout, materials, and features while staying within your budget. You get detailed renderings so you can visualize the finished space before construction begins.
Our Installation Process
Building an outdoor fireplace or kitchen involves more than stacking stones and mortar. We start by evaluating your yard's existing conditions including drainage, utilities, and foundation requirements. Every installation begins with proper site preparation to ensure long-term stability.
For fireplaces, we build a solid foundation and construct the firebox according to fire safety codes. The chimney or ventilation system is designed to draw properly while directing smoke away from seating areas. Gas lines are run by licensed professionals and inspected before final approval.
Outdoor kitchens require careful planning for utility connections. We coordinate with plumbers and electricians to run water lines, drainage, and electrical service to your specifications. Counter surfaces are built to handle temperature changes and moisture exposure. All appliance spaces are sized correctly with proper ventilation.
Throughout construction, we protect your existing landscaping and hardscaping. Materials are staged efficiently and debris is removed daily. You'll see steady progress as your outdoor living space takes shape, typically over the course of two to four weeks depending on project complexity.
