Backyard Flare, LLC

Backyard Flare was a fantastic web site to visit to get some great ideas on outdoor fireplaces. It was very informative and had lots of plans to choose from. I contacted Dan after I purchased a plan to ask him how I could modify it. He replied very quickly and was extremely helpful. I am confident that if I require any addition information Dan will be there to answer any question. Will be posting a picture of my fireplace once it is completed. Thanks again Dan for all your help.

For not knowing anything about masonry work and wanting an awesome fireplace to enjoy I strongly recommend going with Dan and Backyard flare He’s always there to help you out if you have a question I bought the Cholla plans and it took me under 3 weeks to finish the structure portion Looks great and have recommend others to go with the company 5 stars

Dan is awesome and is extremely professional and really knows his stuff. I emailed him with some questions and he called me back and was happy to talk with me about my fireplace design. He was very informative and pointed me to a specific fireplace design on the Backyard Flare website. I purchased the design we spoke about and then I was emailed the PDF of the plans. I am so happy that I found Dan online by searching DIY outdoor fireplace, as his business was exactly what I needed to get my project rolling. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking to build their own fireplace, BBQ, or outdoor kitchen setup.

Like all the rest of the reviews, I definitely agree with the outstanding reviews, especially with the support of Dan ! I am combining two plans together to fit my vision of my "Backyard Flare". The plans are very specific and detailed. Looking forward to having my project completed and photos sent to Dan.

I purchased the plans, with zero knowledge of mason work. I'm pretty handy though and can follow directions. As the plans stated I read them over and over again to clearly understand the steps. It was a lot simpler than I thought and the steps were easy to follow. TAKE YOUR time ensuring everything is level and plum with each course, by doing this, it makes your life easier and the fireplace begins to form its shape. If your going to attempt it, I recommend having a hose handy since the mortar dries quickly during the summer. I just misted it down ensuring it set correctly. I had an idea of how I wanted to finish it of, so I made the necessary modifications as I was building. I won't lie, its not easy and it TAKES TIME, but the plans I purchased are worth every penny!!

I only purchased a fireplace plan. Dan was very helpful in answering questions, even about parts of the project that didn't directly involve his part of the build. My Plan was shipped immediately, and he checked up on me to make sure everything was in order. If I was geographically located near Backyard Flare I would definitely feel comfortable doing a more involved project with them.

Dan of Backyard Flare is amazing! Great support and very responsive. His fireplace plans are amazingly detailed and easy to follow and afforded us a true DIY experience with amazing results.

We wanted a special designed outdoor fireplace for our new screen room. We searched the internet but couldn't find one we wanted. I contacted Dan and after a few emails we had the exact plans we wanted. The plans were accurate and easy to follow with little waste. I am doing the work myself and hadn't worked with blocks and cement for several years and this made my work a lot easier.The design stages he provided made it easy to follow for my wife to be. She could see the progress after each stage. I would highly recommend Backyard Flare for your next project. Rick Sheets

Dan designed just what I wanted. We started with a picture and traded emails and renders until I had just what I wanted.

Dan was great to deal with. The combo pizza oven, fireplace, BBQ design he made for me was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Backyard Flare.

Backyard Flare was very helpful in the design of my outdoor fireplace. During my conversations with Dan at Backyard Flare, both over the telephone and via e-mail, my specific project requirements were taken into consideration and incorporated into the final design. Backyard Flare then delivered in-depth, precise plans to construct my fireplace. I had never constructed any masonry structure in the past, but with Backyard Flare's plans and offer of personal advice along the way, my project turned out nicer than imagined. I wouldn't hesitate to use Backyard Flare again.

Dan at Backyard Flare went above and beyond in designing my outdoor kitchen area. I requested it to include a smoker, pizza oven, fireplace and grill area. He managed to provide all the design elements and a list of material needs to complete my structure. Now, i am ready to begin the project and enjoy this summer. I will provide some pictures to Dan after completion for his site.
