Frequently Asked Questions
About Custom Fire Pits
What types of fire pits do you build?
We construct both gas and wood-burning fire pits, including in-ground, raised, and built-in styles. Each project is built to meet your preferences, safety requirements, and outdoor space.
Do I need a permit to install a fire pit?
Permit requirements vary by location and fuel type. We can help you understand local codes and coordinate with the proper professionals when needed.
Can you build a fire pit into an existing patio?
Yes. We can add a new fire pit to your current patio or include it as part of a larger masonry project. Our team ensures the materials and style complement your existing space.
What materials do you recommend for durability?
We typically recommend natural stone, pavers, or concrete block. These materials offer exceptional strength and heat resistance, maintaining their appearance for years.
How do I maintain my fire pit?
Routine cleaning and inspection help keep your fire pit in excellent condition. For gas models, we suggest annual checks of burners and connections. Wood-burning fire pits should be cleared of ash and sealed periodically for longevity.
