Fire Pits & Fireplaces
Fire pits, fireplaces, and hearths built as the gathering point of your outdoor space — the thing everyone ends up standing around.
We've come a long way from the modest outdoor fireplace. Today the features, conveniences, and design options make a custom outdoor fireplace or fire pit the perfect punctuation to your backyard living experience. From simple to spectacular, you can create your fire feature as a gathering place, a focal point, or both — we're here to guide you through the possibilities to find your perfect fit.
As your outdoor fireplace contractor, we'll design and custom build any look — from rustic to modern and everything in between. We'll sit down and help you plan the right fire feature for your space, then build it with real stone masonry and the installation techniques to back it up. And we'll be there after the build to make sure you're happy with it for years to come.
Gas or wood-burning, sized to your patio and seating — a well-built fire pit stretches the outdoor season well past summer, without giving up comfort.
People naturally gather around a fire. We design the seating and layout first, so your fire feature becomes the actual center of the yard — not an afterthought against the fence line.
We build fire features out of real stone and block — not a prefab ring dropped on the patio. Same footings, same drainage planning, same standard as the rest of our masonry work.
How It Works
We walk your property, talk through what you want, and put together a design that fits your space and budget.
You choose stone, brick, or finish options, and we schedule the build around permitting and site prep.
Our crew builds it to spec, and we walk the finished project with you before calling it done.
Common Questions
Both have a place. Gas lights instantly and needs no cleanup, while wood-burning gives you a real fire and can run cheaper long-term. We'll walk through the tradeoffs during your consultation so you can pick what fits how you'll actually use it.
It depends on your city and the type of feature. We handle the permitting process as part of the build, so you don't have to track it down yourself.
In most cases, yes. We'll assess your existing patio's material and layout during the consultation to confirm what's possible and how it should tie into the surrounding hardscape.
A standalone fire pit or fireplace typically takes less time than a full outdoor kitchen or shade structure. We'll give you a specific timeline once we've scoped your project and site conditions.

How We Work
Every fire feature is different — we start by walking your space and designing around how you'll actually use it.
Gas or wood-burning, we start with proper base, drainage, and utility work before a single stone gets set.
Brick, stone, or paver — we build the feature to spec, with the same standard as the rest of our masonry work.
We fire it up, walk the finished feature with you, and leave you with the new centerpiece of your backyard.
