Fire Pits and Fireplaces
Outdoor fireplaces continue to grow in popularity with the outdoor room boom fueling the fire. Magazines and web-publishers frequently post beautiful photos of large stone fireplaces and homeowners are now demanding fire places, not just fire pits in their outdoor living rooms.
Fire pits are a great way to enjoy the view. If you have a lot with a view, locate fire features at the edge of the property in a place where people will have a chance to enjoy the fire while taking in the surroundings.
While there are many do-it-yourself articles for building your very own firepit online, we highly suggest hiring projessionals to ensure your fire pit or fireplace remains in great condition for a longer period of time.

Pre-Cast Concrete
These features are easy to assemble and because of their portable design, usually do not require permits or structural engineering. While it is often ok to burn small amounts of wood in these features, with the addition of a spark arrestor, most manufacturers advise against it.
Brick or Cinderblock Fire Pits
Typical construction on all of these features involves digging a pit, raising walls with brick or cinderblock, and veneering the outside with stucco, stone, brick, or tile. The interior veneer must be authentic firebrick with a fire-proof grout.
