Fire Pits & Fireplaces That Extend the Season
A fire feature changes when your outdoor space gets used: October evenings, January nights, every gathering that would have moved inside. We design and build wood and gas fire pits and full outdoor fireplaces — the anchor the rest of the patio organizes around.
The Difference Between a Fire and a Fire Feature
A ring of stones burns wood; a designed fire feature builds a room around flame. We plan the whole composition — pit or fireplace scale, seating radius, wind and smoke direction, sight lines from the house or building — then construct with fire-rated materials and clean gas or wood detailing.
Gas features get pro plumbing, burners, and controls that light at a switch; wood-burning builds get proper fireboxes, smoke management, and hearths that handle real fires safely. Either way, the finish stone matches the property, and the feature reads permanent because it is.

From Fire Ring to Full Fireplace
Scaled to the space, the budget, and the gatherings you host.
Round, square, or sculptural — wood or gas, sized to the seating around them.
Full chimney features that anchor a patio like a living room wall.
Pits ringed with seating walls at conversation radius — the complete room.
Clean-burning convenience plumbed safely to existing or new features.
Multifamily and hospitality fire features that become the property’s social hub.
Fire Feature Questions
Wood-burning or gas — which should I choose?
Wood is ritual: real flame, crackle, and tending. Gas is instant: on at a switch, off when you walk inside, no smoke shifting with the wind. Entertaining households and commercial spaces usually land on gas; purists keep wood. We build both well, so choose the evenings you want.
How far should a fire pit sit from the house?
Safe clearances from structures and overhangs are the starting point, and local codes and HOA rules refine it. We design placement for safety, smoke direction, and the view from inside — a fire feature should be seen from the kitchen window, not hidden by the garage.
Can you add a fire feature to an existing patio?
Very often, yes — retrofitting a pit or fireplace into existing hardscape is common, including running gas cleanly under pavers. The site visit answers structure and clearance; the design makes it look like it was always in the plan.
