Outdoor Fireplace Design & Build Services Wellington
An outdoor fireplace is the ideal retreat for lounging and spending quality time with loved ones in the fresh air. Ridler Landscapes helps you build that truly personal space in your outdoor area where you can unwind after a hectic day.
Whether you prefer classic, modern, Southwestern, or Mediterranean styles, we can seamlessly integrate any design into your current landscape plan.
Our team ensures that the fireplace is safely constructed and becomes the focal point of your yard.
Designing a Fireplace for a Rustic Feel
Fancy a rustic theme for your fireplace design? We can create the rustic feel you desire. However, constructing this type of fireplace involves a thoughtful selection of materials and design elements that echo the natural, rugged beauty of the outdoors. We choose natural materials such as fieldstone, river rock, bricks, or reclaimed wood. We might also use a hefty wooden mantle sourced from old barn beams to add authenticity and warmth.
Moreover, we’ll include elements like ironwork details in the fireplace tools and a hearth laid with antique bricks to accentuate the old-world feel. Our landscaping Wellington team also pays close attention to the surroundings of the fireplace by using seating made of natural woods/stones, adding native plants and understated lighting to make the entire space feel cosy.
Modern Fireplace
If you are after a mix of traditional materials, geometrical shapes, clean lines and sleek designs, modern fireplaces are a great option. To build this type of fireplace, we typically use materials like polished concrete, stainless steel, or tempered glass. These materials can be shaped into geometric forms or minimalist silhouettes to emphasise simplicity and elegance you desire. We can also use technology(upon request), such as automated ignition systems and adjustable flame controls to add convenience and enhance the functionality.
Freestanding Fireplaces
This type of fireplace is a good option if you have a small patio and a limited budget. Freestanding fireplaces offer flexibility in placement and design and can transform any space into a warm and inviting gathering spot. We design these structures using a variety of materials that not only withstand the elements but also complement the existing outdoor aesthetics.
Common materials we use include cast iron, stainless steel, stone, custom metalwork, and decorative ceramic tiles to add a personal touch to the fireplace. For the type of fire experience - whether the crackling sound of burning wood or a clean, smoke-free flame - wood logs or eco-friendly bioethanol are used.
We strategically position the fireplace in the seating area around the outdoor kitchen to create an ideal setting for entertaining and al fresco dining. You can add some flower beds, planters with shrubs and small trees, and thoughtful lighting to make the space cosy during frosty evenings.
Premium Quality Construction Materials
Behind every beautiful and inviting fireplace, there are high quality materials used in the construction. The materials used should not only be fire-safe but also adds to the visual appeal.Common materials we use in our projects include bricks, concrete, blocks, and stones. For a firebox (where the flames actually burn), we use materials like steel or a fire-rated brick to withstand extreme temperatures.
You can run your fireplaces with wood, natural gas, and propane. If you go with the natural gas option, there will be a need to install an additional gas line, which will be a larger up-front cost. A wooden fireplace would be the cheapest option; it will require a steady supply of logs and you will have an ambient appeal of a crackling, scent-filled fire.
