Our hardscape designers create and install beautiful fire pits to complement your unique outdoor living space. Work one-on-one with our professionals to choose between a variety of styles and options including:
Get a great outdoor gathering experience with a circular fire pit. Its round design allows everyone to comfortably sit or stand around the flames, ensuring everyone stays warm and can easily engage in conversation. Plus, the central location makes it easy for everyone to enjoy the fire and each other’s company. Circular fire pits tend to look best when other hardscaping elements have rounded designs.
A rectangular fire pit is perfect for medium-sized gatherings as it provides the necessary warmth to make the outdoor space comfortable. Square or rectangular fire pits tend to look best when the patio is also rectangular, or when there are other hardscaping elements with similar shapes.
An L-shaped fire pit is ideal if you often have large gatherings with a big family or lots of friends. Its design allows flames to spread in two different directions, providing more heat and more space for people to gather around.
