Our Services

Firepits and Fireplaces

We build full masonry firepits and fireplaces sized to your patio, deck, or yard. Each outdoor fire pit installation is set on a stable base and finished to match the surrounding outdoor space.

Portable Firepits

For homeowners who want flexibility, we supply and place portable firepits that can be moved as the season or layout changes. These offer the warmth of a fixed feature without permanent installation.

Built-In Seating

We construct built-in benches and corner benches positioned around your fire feature for comfortable, permanent seating. Each bench is sized to the space and built from materials matched to the surrounding patio or deck.

Pavilions, Gazebos, and Canopies

We build pavilions, gazebos, and canopies that pair with outdoor firepits and fireplaces to create covered gathering areas. These structures extend the use of your fire feature into rain, snow, and direct sun.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an outdoor fire pit and an outdoor fireplace?

A fire pit is an open feature with seating around it, designed for gathering and visible flame. An outdoor fireplace is a vertical structure with a chimney, offering directed heat and a defined backdrop for the patio.

How can outdoor fire features enhance backyard spaces?

Fire features extend usable outdoor hours into cooler evenings and shoulder seasons, creating a natural gathering point for guests and family. They also add resale value and a focal point to the yard.

What materials are commonly used for outdoor fire pit construction?

Common materials vary by climate, style, and how the feature ties into surrounding patio or deck finishes. The right choice depends on durability needs, intended use, and how you want the feature to look in the finished space.

What design options are available for outdoor fireplaces?

Options include freestanding builds and fireplaces tied into a patio or pavilion. Heights, finishes, and placement can be matched to the home and yard.
