SERVING GRAPEVINE, TEXAS
Fire Features in Grapevine, TX
From October through early spring, Grapevine evenings cool off enough that a fire becomes the reason to stay outside. We build fire pits, fireplaces and ventless fireboxes in stone, brick and block that look like they belong to the house.
A masonry crew at heart
Before The Collective Outdoors focused on outdoor living, the team behind it ran large-scale masonry jobs. Laying stone and brick is where we started, and it still shows in the details. Joints stay tight. Caps sit level. Hearths are sized so you can actually sit on them.
Nowhere does that history count more than with fire. A fireplace carries serious weight, runs hot and becomes the focal point for everyone on the patio. Getting it right takes a proper footing, the correct firebox and a mason who can clad it so the stone holds its looks a decade later.
A ventless fireplace we built in Grapevine
This Grapevine project put a ventless fireplace inside a gabled patio cover. A wide, low firebox is set in cream cut stone with a deep ledge across the front that doubles as extra seating. Above it, a stained cedar plank wall carries a mount ready for a TV.
Stone bases on the cover posts match the fireplace surround, and stone retaining walls behind the structure carry the same tone. Overhead, a tongue and groove ceiling, recessed lights and a large fan keep the space comfortable in any season. Stamped concrete ties the floor together.
Because the unit is ventless, it needed no chimney. That kept the roof line clean and let the fireplace sit right where the family wanted it.
Fire options for Grapevine backyards
Wood-burning fireplace
A tall masonry fireplace with a chimney makes a strong focal point at the end of a patio. Best where you have space and want real logs and crackle.
Ventless or gas firebox
Clean flame at the turn of a key. Ventless units fit under covers without a chimney, as the Grapevine project above shows.
Fire pit or fire table
Round or linear, wood or gas, ringed with chairs or built into a stone seating wall. Easy to place on a larger Grapevine lot.
Placing fire safely around Grapevine trees and roofs
Many Grapevine lots carry big, mature trees. We check branch height and spread during design and keep open flames well clear of limbs, fences and structures. Covered fireplaces get the clearances their manufacturer requires, and we confirm what the City of Grapevine expects during building permit review.
Our designers show the fire feature in a 3D rendering of your yard, with seating drawn in, so you can judge the sight lines from the house and the walk from the back door. Fire features pair naturally with a covered patio or an outdoor kitchen in Grapevine. Our Fort Worth showroom also carries Infratech heaters if you want warmth without a flame.
Fire feature questions for Grapevine homes
Is a ventless fireplace a good fit under a patio cover?
Often, yes. With no chimney to frame, a ventless unit can go almost anywhere under the roof that meets the manufacturer's clearances. We plan placement, gas supply and finishes together.
Can I have a fire pit under the trees on my lot?
We keep fire features well away from low branches. If your canopy covers most of the yard, we look for an open spot or suggest a gas fire table with a lower, controlled flame.
Will the stone match my house?
We select stone, brick or block to work with your exterior and any existing masonry in the yard. Samples are on hand at our showroom so you can compare in daylight.
