Overview

How the space gets used

Fire is what pulls people outside after dinner. Kids with marshmallows. Two chairs pulled close. Friends who don’t look at the time. We design and build fire pits, fireplaces, fire tables, and wood-burning gathering spots so the scale, the fuel, and the seating match how you actually host.

A fire pit or fire table is right when you want people sitting all the way around. A fireplace or a linear burner anchors a wall and can give the patio a living-room edge. We plan fuel type, venting, gas-line size, clearances, and the surround with the rest of the layout so the fire belongs with the space.

Setting a fire pad or fireplace base into new or existing pavers means thinking about drainage, expansion joints, and how the caps and veneer sit next to your coping and steps. We match the stone to the rest of the hardscape so the fire reads as part of the architecture.

Beyond the flame, we can add patio heat from partners we trust, so a cool evening is still comfortable. Radiant options work well with pergolas and covered spaces in this climate.

What we pay attention to

Clearances planned before materials are ordered, not after the stone is stacked.
Gas or wood: we help you choose from how you live.
Surround stonework matched to the rest of your patio.

How we work

From the first walk to the last

You’ll always know what happens next. We walk the property, make a plan, then build it.

01
Layout and safety

Seating, wind, and code-appropriate clearances get mapped before anything is ordered.
02
Fuel and how you light it

Gas is quick and clean. Wood has the crackle and the ritual. We’ll talk through both against how you host and what you want to maintain.
03
The stone around it

Caps, veneer, and joints finished to match the rest of the hardscape.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

Plain answers, so you can plan without guessing.

Gas or wood—which is better for an outdoor fire pit or fireplace?

Gas is quick, cleaner, and easier if you don’t want to fuss. Wood has the smell and the crackle. We’ll help you choose from how you host, how close the neighbors are, and what’s around the fire.

Should I choose an outdoor fire pit, a fire table, or a full outdoor fireplace?

Pits and tables keep people sitting all the way around. A fireplace or a linear burner makes a wall and can block wind. We go by patio size, wind, how many you seat, and whether you want wood storage or a gas line hidden in the masonry.

Can you add a fire pit or fireplace to an existing patio?

Yes, often. We look at the base, whether a gas line can go in cleanly, whether wood-burning is even a good idea, and how ash or condensate will drain before we cut stone. We plan so the paving you already have stays protected.

What about clearances, codes, and safety?

Setbacks from the house, roof overhangs, rails, and branches matter as much as how it looks. We plan those clearances and how people sit around the fire before materials are ordered, so you’re not surprised mid-build.
