Most common types of landscape design stone fireplaces:

Limestone fireplace - Limestone is a very durable and very attractive stone that is often used in the construction of fireplaces. It holds up well to heat and can also withstand cold, wind and rain.

Sandstone fireplace - Similar to limestone, sandstone is a durable and attractive material that works well in the construction of outdoor fireplaces.

Stacked stone fireplace - Stacked stone fireplaces are more natural and rugged in looks and can be a beautiful addition to any backyard space. They are constructed by stacking individual stones in a pattern to create a stone fireplace surround that is unique and beautiful.

Stone veneer fireplace - When you want the look of stone, without the expense of solid natural stone, you can build a stone veneer fireplace. The cost of these outdoor fireplaces is lower than other models because there is only a layer of stone fireplace facing along the outside edges of the fireplace but the interior of the fireplace is constructed from a less expensive and easily molded material, such as concrete.

Cast stone fireplace – Cast stone fireplaces are a great option for the outdoors because you do not have to worry about individual stones chipping, falling off or becoming loose. In a cast stone fireplace, the material used is similar to a poured concrete that is carved, finished and designed to look like natural stone. Since it is all one solid piece, it is a very durable option for locations that are subject to extreme weather.

Faux stone fireplace – Faux stone fireplaces can be used outdoors in some climates, but in more extreme climates they may not hold up as well as some other outdoor fireplace designs because they are not made from natural stone.

No matter what type of landscape design stone fireplace you select for outdoor use, adding an outdoor kitchen will add a warmth and charm to your outdoor living space that is unsurpassed by just about any other type of object that you can add to your backyard. One of the nicest aspects of having an outdoor fireplace in your backyard is how much more often you can enjoy your outdoor space, even as the weather begins to cool off. Rather than being holed up indoors all winter long, you can get outside and enjoy the crisp, cool air as you warm your fingers and toes next to a roaring fire. Your holiday celebrations will also be unique and memorable when they can be enjoyed outdoors, cozied up to your outdoor stone fireplace.
