Masonry walls and bases for fire pits, grills and outdoor kitchens that sit on sloped ground and need level, solid structure.
Outdoor kitchens and fire pits are heavy, hot and expensive, so they need a solid foundation and thoughtful placement. On sloped lots, retaining walls create the level pads they sit on. Homeowners in Nashville build outdoor living areas that feel like extra rooms, and the walls make that possible.
We begin with a Free Estimate and talk about your layout, appliances and seating. We build retaining walls and bases with materials suited to heat, such as block, stone and masonry, and we plan clearances from combustible materials and structures. We add counters, seat walls, utility chases and lighting, and coordinate with gas, electric and plumbing trades. Local codes and manufacturer instructions guide fire and utility details. Outdoor kitchens work best when the structure behind them is thought through. We plan where gas lines, power and water will run, leave space for appliance dimensions and make sure counters are the right height for cooking and serving. We think about wind, smoke direction and distance from the house, and we build in storage and seating where it makes sense. The result is an outdoor space that works for everyday dinners and for big gatherings.
Appliances and counters are heavy, so we build strong bases and walls.
We choose masonry and stone that suit fire features.
Chases and conduits are planned before walls are finished.
Walls shape how people move and gather around the fire and food.
