PROMO: is here
A barbecue island or fireplace on a thin patio slab can tilt, crack and let water in after Toronto winters. We build the masonry structure around footing, drainage and cap details. For outdoor kitchen toronto projects, we measure the yard before sending an itemized estimate because access, excavation and appliance dimensions change the scope.
Built on trust and quality.
Trusted by Toronto Homeowners & Builders Since 2010






Anything that must not move needs a foundation below frost depth. Drainage and cap details matter because freeze-thaw water can damage mortar and shift a poorly supported island.
We build the stone structure and veneer. Countertops, appliances, gas connections and electrical work are separate, so you can line up the right supplier and licensed trades before construction.
Narrow side passages and laneway-only yards can mean stone is moved in by wheelbarrow. We review staging at the measurement so the estimate reflects the route into your backyard.






Point At the Outdoor Kitchen or Fireplace You Want
Most homeowners know the outdoor kitchen, fireplace or seating feature they want before they know what each build is called. Pick the options that look right for your space, and Antex will turn those choices into a measured, itemized price for your Toronto project.
At the site visit, we inspect the proposed location and discuss whether the existing slab can support the structure or a footing is needed below frost depth.
The stone bbq surround toronto scope is reviewed as a masonry assembly, including how the structure sheds water, rather than as veneer added to a surface.

Stone volume adds up fast. A narrow side yard or laneway-only access can slow the job if staging was ignored.
Clearances, property lines, lot coverage and soft-landscaping limits can affect what fits. Requirements vary by property.
The layout can be a compact barbecue base or a larger entertaining area with seating and planting. We size the masonry work around the available yard, access route and foundation needs.

These completed outdoor living builds show how masonry structures, facings, foundations and finishing details come together. Each configuration reflects a different use of the yard, from appliance-ready cooking areas to seating, fireplace and gas fire-pit enclosures built around the site conditions.
A dedicated masonry base gave the homeowner a stable opening for an appliance selected and connected by other trades.
