If you’ve visited a home with an outdoor fire pit or fire feature, you’ve probably gone home thinking I need a fire pit, too! A warming fire has a magical quality. You can have a fire pit or outdoor fireplace to keep you and your guests mesmerized well into the evening.
There are many options when it comes to the size, shape and style of a fire pit. There are two basic types: a portable one that can moved around your yard or a built-in fire pit on a stone patio. The custom built-in variety is the kind E.A. Quinn Landscape Contracting specializes in.
If you choose a built-in, you’ll want to select a material, which can include pavers or natural stone. You can also select a shape, ranging from round, square, L-shaped, triangular or something else entirely that you imagine.
You can also choose an outdoor fireplace to keep your guests warm. A fireplace tends to be larger and features a chimney. They are often sold as kits that include a stone veneer.
No matter what type of fire feature you choose, you’ll soon find that it will anchor your outdoor living space .
