FIREPITS AND OUTDOOR FIREPLACES

AMBIANCE, WARMTH AND LIGHT

Outdoor fire pits and fireplaces are fantastic outdoor features that not only provide a pleasing visual but warmth, light, and plenty of cooking potential. Both fire pits and fireplaces have the option of running on gas or wood.

FIREPITS

Imagine a cool September night sitting out by your firepit, roasting marshmallows, listening to the sound of the fire crackle as you watch the sun set. Sounds like paradise? We think so. Our team creates permanent fire pits with stone, brick, and concrete, often as part of a patio project but we can add a firepit to an existing patio. We have wood burning, propane and natural gas options. We create easy access doors to change out propane tanks. We also offer custom metal lids to keep the interior protected when the pit is not in use. This lid can be etched with your family name, initial, favorite phrase and more.

OUTDOOR FIREPLACES

Fireplaces are a grand way to add not only a focal piece to your yard but an efficient way to produce heat on a colder night or prepare meals outside. We can create fireplaces out of a variety of materials but the most popular materials are brick, nature stone, or cinder block. The fireplace can be built primarily for heat or it can be built with the purpose of cooking as well. The fireplace can add a stately look to your home and add a cozy atmosphere in the evenings.
