Outdoor Fireplaces and Fire Pits

Stone fireplaces and fire pits that extend the outdoor season and make a gathering place of the backyard.

A fire turns a cool evening into the best part of the day. An outdoor fireplace gives a covered patio warmth and a focal wall, and a fire pit gives a circle of seating a bright center. Both extend the season and make guests stay longer.

We design them around seating, wind and sightlines. Gas fireplaces start at the flip of a switch and burn clean, and wood-burning designs offer the sound and smell many people love. Stone, brick and stucco finishes can match your home, and benches and walls can be built in. We also plan storage for wood or controls, a stone hearth that protects the surface below and lighting that makes the fire the focus without glare. A small detail such as a bench at the right height can change how often the space gets used.

Gas or wood

Gas is easy and tidy. Wood gives crackle and scent but needs more care and rules about burning. We lay out the choice and set up either one correctly.

Seating and spacing

A fire works best when people can sit close and still talk. We plan seating and distances so everyone is comfortable.

Built to the codes that apply

Clearances, chimneys and gas lines all matter. We follow the rules that apply to your property and explain them plainly.

Smoke and seating

Smoke blows toward people if seating is in the wrong place. We study wind and layout so smoke stays out of the conversation.
