StoneForge Paving & Masonry turns backyards into outdoor rooms. We build masonry outdoor kitchens, wood and gas fire pits and stone seating walls that work together with your patio and are built to stand up to New England weather.
The best outdoor spaces are planned as a whole. We start with how you want to use the yard, such as cooking and serving, gathering around a fire or simply having somewhere to sit, and then place each feature so people can move between them comfortably, with the grill kept away from seating and the fire pit clear of the house and overhanging branches.
Construction details matter because these structures stay outdoors all year. Kitchens and seating walls are built on proper footings, faced in natural or manufactured stone and finished with durable caps. Fire pits are built with fire-safe materials and sensible clearances. Gas, electric and water connections are handled by licensed trades, and we coordinate openings and conduit in advance so nothing has to be torn out later. These features sit naturally on a new patio or beside a retaining wall.

Common questions about outdoor kitchens, fire pits and seating walls.

Often yes, if the patio base is solid enough. We inspect the patio first and may recommend a dedicated footing for the kitchen island.
Wood gives a traditional fire and crackle; gas is cleaner and starts at the flip of a switch. Gas lines are installed by licensed trades.
Most seating walls are built at a comfortable chair height, and we confirm the exact height with you during design.
Yes. We build the whole space, including patios and walkways.
Yes. Many homeowners build the patio first and add a kitchen, fire pit or seating walls later. We plan footings, sleeves and conduit up front so later phases are easier.
It depends on the type of fire pit, local fire rules and what is nearby, such as the house, a deck, fences and overhanging trees. We plan the placement with you during design and explain what applies in your town.
Most are a masonry or block structure faced in natural or manufactured stone, with a weather-resistant countertop. We help you match the materials to your home and patio so the kitchen looks like part of the property.
Many include a gas grill, lighting, outlets and sometimes water. Licensed professionals handle the gas and electrical connections; we build the structure and coordinate the openings and conduit so the hookups go in cleanly.
