Warmth & Light
Outdoor fire pits and fireplaces are beautiful additions that bring warmth, light, and atmosphere to your outdoor space. They create a natural gathering place where friends and family can relax, cook, and enjoy the outdoors long after the sun goes down.
Both fire pits and outdoor fireplaces can be designed to run on gas or wood, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your lifestyle. Whether you prefer a modern built in feature or a classic fire pit, these elements add comfort, character, and year round enjoyment to your patio and landscape.

Design
A presentation will be preformed that will include a 2D design, 3D imaging, pricing and materials pictures.

Pre Construction
After the contracts have been signed, the homeowners, crew leader and project manager will walk through the jobsite to ensure everyone is on the same page.

It is going to be messy during this time. We will keep the site as clean as possible and communicate with you while the process moves forward.
