Outdoor Living Spaces in Raleigh, Cary, Durham & the Triangle
Forge Construction Group is a licensed North Carolina general contractor (License #102873) that designs and builds complete outdoor living spaces for established homes across Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest. We build covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and paver and flagstone patios, from a single fire feature to a full backyard build meant to be lived in year-round.
Why Homeowners Choose Forge for Outdoor Living
An outdoor living space is only as good as its design and construction. Done right, it becomes the most-used part of the property. Forge brings the full picture together: structure, roofing, masonry, and finishes, built to the same standard as the home itself. Our outdoor living projects across the Triangle regularly combine several elements into one connected environment:
Covered patios, porches, and outdoor pavilions
Outdoor kitchens and built-in grilling stations
Fire pits and stone outdoor fireplaces
Paver, flagstone, and natural stone patios
Pool decks and multi-level connected patios
Because we design each space around how your family actually entertains and relaxes, no two Forge backyards look alike.
Covered Patios & Outdoor Living Rooms
Shade and shelter turn a patio into a room you use all season. Forge builds covered patios, porches, and freestanding pavilions with proper structural framing, matched rooflines, and finished ceilings, so you stay comfortable whether it is July sun or an October drizzle. A covered outdoor living room also protects your furniture, TV, and outdoor kitchen from the Triangle’s heat and humidity, extending the life of everything underneath it.
Paver, Flagstone & Natural Stone Patios
The patio is the foundation of the whole space, and the surface sets the tone. Forge installs paver patios, natural flagstone, and cut stone with the base preparation and drainage that North Carolina’s clay soil and heavy rain demand, the part most patios fail on. Whether you want the clean geometry of pavers or the organic look of irregular flagstone, we build patios that stay level, shed water, and hold up for decades.
Outdoor Kitchens Built for Real Cooking
An outdoor kitchen turns the backyard into the center of every gathering. Forge builds full outdoor kitchens and grilling stations, including built-in grills, stone or masonry islands, counter seating, storage, and space for a green egg or pizza oven, finished in materials that match your patio and home. We plan the gas, electrical, and drainage runs during design, so the finished kitchen works as hard as the one inside.

What Goes Into a Complete Outdoor Living Space?
The best outdoor spaces tie several elements together: a covered patio, an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature, and connected walkways that flow back to the home. Forge can plan and build the whole vision as one project, so the pieces share materials, sightlines, and drainage instead of looking like separate add-ons. Many of our outdoor living builds pair with a new screened porch or pergola, explore those services to see how they connect.
Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces
A fire feature is what keeps a backyard in use long after sunset and well into the cooler Triangle months. Forge builds custom fire pits and full stone outdoor fireplaces, gas or wood-burning, with seat walls, hearths, and stonework that anchor the whole gathering space. We size and site each one for real use and safe clearances, whether it is a simple gas fire pit off the patio or a floor-to-chimney fireplace under a covered pavilion.
Experienced Builders Committed to Quality
Forge keeps a limited project load, so your outdoor space gets the design thought and finish attention it deserves from start to finish. We build for established homes throughout the Triangle, from North Raleigh and Inside the Beltline to Preston in Cary, Hope Valley in Durham, Southern Village in Chapel Hill, and Heritage in Wake Forest, matching every outdoor space to the home and neighborhood it belongs to.
Our Seamless Project Management Process
