Wood-burning and gas fire pits in stone, block or steel, built with safe clearances and comfortable seating around them.
A fire pit turns a yard into a gathering place. People drift toward fire, and the best pits are built with enough room to sit comfortably, enough clearance to be safe and a surface that looks as good in daylight as it does lit.
We build wood-burning and gas fire pits, round and square, sunken and raised, in stone, brick, block and steel. We design the seating, base and surrounding patio together and plan the clearances that keep the fire safe and enjoyable.
Wood fires crackle and smell like a campfire but make smoke and ash and may be restricted on some days or in some neighborhoods. Gas fires turn on with a switch, burn cleanly and fit smaller yards. We help you choose based on use and local rules.
A common fire pit is thirty-six to fifty-four inches across, with seating positioned a comfortable distance away. We keep it well clear of structures, overhanging branches and fences and build on a non-combustible base.
Built-in seat walls, benches or movable chairs define the circle. Pavers, gravel or stone around the pit keep ground clear of fuel. Low lighting and a path to the house finish the space.
Never leave a fire unattended, keep a way to extinguish it nearby and use only the fuel the pit is designed for. Keep pits clear of overhanging branches and structures. We review safety at handover and give guidance for wood and gas pits.

Typically three to four feet from the edge of the pit, and well away from structures and overhead branches. Our fire pit planner shows suggested distances.
Often for gas lines and sometimes for wood-burning pits, depending on your city and neighborhood. We help plan for local rules.
Not directly. Fire pits need non-combustible bases and clearances, so we usually build a stone patio beside the deck.
Gas often suits smaller yards because it makes no smoke and can be shut off instantly.
Yes. Portable steel pits are an option, though built-in pits give a cleaner look and a more stable base.
