Paver Firepits
Our experience installing paver fire pits is extensive. Many of our clients choose to include a fire pit in their patio design; while some choose to have their fire pit installed alongside a seating wall on a nice piece of landscape. Whatever you may be thinking, we have the expertise to oblige.
Paver fire pits are a popular hardscape feature that will make entertaining guests or enjoying the outdoors easy and fun. A fire pit can be a great excuse to host your kids’ friends for a bonfire & s’mores or to have an adult’s night outdoors. It will also make a great escape when you want to relax with a drink by the fire after a long day of work.
A paver fire pit is the easiest way to make fall nights and summer s’mores a tradition. Choose classic round, modern square, or a custom shape with an accent border. Add a seat wall for wind protection and extra seating.
Patio Fireplaces
We are always eager to be involved on hardscape projects that require an outdoor fireplace build. Since concrete pavers are available in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes; you have more design options to choose from. When working on your fireplace design, we’ll take two major factors into consideration: what aesthetic styling you prefer and how you want your fireplace to function.
Outdoor fireplaces are an effective and visually appealing way to heat your patio during the cooler seasons. The right fireplace design may also increase the resale value of your home.
An outdoor fireplace anchors the space, blocks wind, and extends your season. Options include integrated wood storage, mantels, lighting, and connections to grill islands or cooking zones.

Fire Feature FAQs
Will a fire pit damage my paver patio? Not when built correctly. We use a steel insert/liner and follow kit clearances and venting so heat isn’t trapped against the pavers.
What’s better—wood or gas? Both work. Wood offers campfire ambiance; gas offers convenience and no ash. We’ll help you choose based on how you’ll use the space.
Can you add seating and lighting around the fire area? Yes—seat walls, low-voltage lighting, and wind screening make the space safer and more comfortable.
Do I need permits? Permitting varies by municipality and fuel type. We’ll point you to the correct local requirements and coordinate with your contractor if a gas line is needed.
