Stone Fireplace + Pizza Oven – Concord, MA

Stone Fireplace + Pizza Oven – Design

At this home in Concord, MA the new owners would like to install a stone fireplace + pizza oven to compliment their existing patio.  We provide a design and 3d model of the fireplace so they can visualize the outcome, and we decide on antique granite hearths, fieldstone veneer, and bluestone caps and mantels for material. 

This type of fieldstone veneer is a thin veneer.  It is easier/faster to install and will match the existing walls nicely.  We use antique granite for the hearth, and also as columns for the openings.  The antique granite is visibly aged and gives the fireplace a look like it has existed for years.  Bluestone is used for the chimney caps and hearths.  Bluestone comes is slabs which makes it useful for these features, and will also match the existing bluestone patio.

First step is to prep the area and install the granite hearth, and base for the fireplace.  This particular fireplace base came as a kit, but, can be custom built as well.  Some customization is needed in this case to achieve our design.

After the fireplace base and granite is in we veneer the verticals with fieldstone veneer, and cap the horizontals with bluestone.  Granite cobblestones are used to build up the chimney cap to match the other granite.  And the wing walls are tied back into the fireplace to match.  Careful attention is made to match all the stonework and material so that this fireplace blends into the existing patio and looks like it has always been.
