Stone fireplaces and fire pits that give the patio a glowing center, with safe clearances and good seating around them.
A fire changes how people sit, talk and linger. A fireplace anchors the end of a patio or the side of a pergola with warmth and light. A fire pit sits in the middle of a circle of chairs and brings a campfire feeling to the yard in cool months.
We build wood-burning and gas fireplaces and fire pits in stone, brick and concrete, with proper footings, chimneys and clearances. We plan the seating, the pergola or roof nearby and the way smoke moves so the fire is a pleasure and not a hazard. We explain local rules for burning and for gas lines.
A fireplace is a permanent focal point and can sit under a roof. A fire pit is open and social, and works well in the middle of a patio. Some projects include both.
Wood has the crackle and the smell. Gas starts with a switch and burns clean. We explain upkeep, rules and cost for each.
Fire needs distance from wood structures, overhangs and plants. We plan the layout, chimney height and cover so the structure stays safe.
Built-in benches, stone walls and nearby seating make the fire a gathering place. Finishes can match the house, the patio or the pergola.
