Beautiful outdoor fire pit designs
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:
Circular fire pits
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.
Rectangular Fire Pits
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.
L-shaped Fire Pits
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Fire Pits
How much does an outdoor fire pit cost in Wisconsin?
The cost of an outdoor fire pit depends on the size, materials, fuel type, and surrounding patio design. Simple fire pit installations may cost a few thousand dollars, while larger custom fire features integrated into a complete outdoor living space can be a more significant investment.
Should I choose a wood-burning or gas fire pit?
Both options create a beautiful gathering space. Wood-burning fire pits offer the traditional crackling fire experience, while gas fire pits provide instant ignition, easier maintenance, and cleaner operation. The best choice depends on how you plan to use the space.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor fire pit?
Most outdoor fire pits in the greater Milwaukee area do not require a permit. However, local regulations can vary by municipality. Palladium helps homeowners understand any applicable requirements during the planning process.
What is the best location for a fire pit?
A fire pit should be positioned where it can be enjoyed comfortably while maintaining safe clearances from structures, trees, and property lines. During the design process, we help determine the ideal location based on your patio layout, traffic flow, and intended use.
Can a fire pit be added to an existing patio?
Yes. Many homeowners add a fire pit to an existing patio to create a more inviting gathering space. The feasibility depends on the patio's size, condition, and construction, but in many cases a fire feature can be integrated successfully.
How large should my fire pit patio be?
The ideal size depends on how many people you expect to gather around the fire. Most homeowners find that allowing enough space for seating and comfortable movement around the fire creates the best experience.
What materials are used to build outdoor fire pits?
Outdoor fire pits can be constructed using natural stone, concrete wall systems, pavers, and manufactured hardscape products. Material selection is often coordinated with the patio and surrounding landscape to create a cohesive design.
Can a fire pit increase property value?
A professionally designed fire pit can improve the enjoyment, functionality, and overall appeal of an outdoor living space. While every property is different, outdoor gathering areas are often viewed as desirable features by homeowners and potential buyers.

David and the entire crew at Palladium Patios and Landscaping were excellent to work with. They managed my expectations with clear and timely contacts and communications. I love my sidewalks they laid last year, and this year they knocked it out of the park with a beautiful brick patio. They did inlay design around the edging to coordinate with the adjoining sidewalk between my house and garage, as well as thorough cleanup and finish work. I highly recommend them for their prep work and attention to detail. Bravo and Thanks!

Tim and his crew created our amazing patio for us. Communication was great, the crew was here some days from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. the same day. They even worked Saturdays to stay ahead of their workload. We appreciate it and thank you again Palladium patios!
