The Ultimate Fireplace Masonry for Webster Groves Homeowners

In Webster Groves, an outdoor fireplace is more than a heat source — it is a high-end architectural feature that provides privacy and wind protection. We specialize in building structural stone fireplaces that turn sloped or open backyards into intimate, secluded retreats. From traditional brick to rugged natural stone veneers, we ensure your fireplace complements your home’s architecture while serving as a long-term investment in your property’s value.

Why Homeowners Choose Excel

Code Compliant from Day One

We navigate City of Webster Groves and Jefferson County building codes, ensuring your fireplace has the correct chimney height for smoke drafting, safe clearance from structures, and code-compliant gas line integration for push-button starts.

Built for Missouri's Climate

Our fireplaces are constructed on deep, steel-reinforced concrete footers to prevent the leaning and settling common in Webster Groves's expansive clay. We use industrial-grade firebrick and thermal-rated stone veneers that won't crack under intense heat or the winter chill.

Gas or Wood — Your Choice

We handle the full gas line trenching and installation for push-button fire features, or we build traditional wood-burning hearths with properly drafted chimneys. Either way, we manage the permits and inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fire pits offer 360-degree seating, great for a social campfire feel. A custom fireplace provides a massive windbreak and directs smoke up through a chimney — a major advantage for homes on the windier hills of Jefferson County. A fireplace also adds a much stronger architectural feel to your outdoor space. 

The investment depends on the scale, material choice, and whether we are running new gas lines. Because Excel is a full-service hardscaper, we can often save you money by building the fireplace as part of a total backyard renovation, completing the foundation and patio work at the same time.

Yes. The City of Webster Groves requires building permits for permanent structures and any associated gas or electrical work. We handle the entire application and inspection process at the Community Development department on Jeffco Blvd. 

Absolutely. We coordinate the professional trenching and installation of dedicated gas lines so you can enjoy a roaring fire with the flick of a switch — no wood storage or ash cleanup required.

A masonry fireplace can weigh over 5,000 pounds. Most standard 4-inch patios in Webster Groves are not thick enough to support that weight. We typically cut a section of the existing patio and pour a deep, reinforced footer to ensure your fireplace remains level and secure for decades. 

We use high-heat refractory firebrick for the firebox and clad the exterior in natural stone or premium concrete veneers engineered to withstand Webster Groves temperature swings without the spalling or cracking seen in cheaper, pre-fabricated fireplace kits.
