Fire Features That Give The Outdoor Space A Natural Center

Plan the fireplace or fire pit together with seating, circulation, views, and the surrounding hardscape.

Built Around The Site And The Way You Use It

A fire feature works best when it belongs to the larger outdoor room. Placement, seating, fuel, clearances, utilities, drainage, and future patio work should be considered together.

Project Considerations

Questions That Shape The Project

Seating & Gathering

Describe loose chairs, a built seating edge, a formal fireplace wall, or a fire feature connected to a larger outdoor room.

Placement & Circulation

Consider doors, movement, views, overhead conditions, wind exposure, seating, and neighboring spaces.

Fuel & Utilities

Wood, gas, or another approved system changes design, trades, code, access, and operating considerations.

Surrounding Hardscape

Surface, drainage, steps, seat edges, and future phases should support the gathering rather than compete with it.

Our Process

From First Conversation To A Clear Scope

01

Share The Idea

Share how many people gather, how they sit, and what you want the fire area to feel like.

02

Review The Setting

Include doors, nearby structures, trees, property edges, circulation, utilities, and the full project area.

03

Confirm Requirements

Identify fuel, utility, code, manufacturer, and qualified-trade requirements for the selected system.

04

Connect The Larger Scope

Confirm whether the feature belongs to a patio, wall, or future outdoor-living phase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fire Features Questions, Answered.

Can a fire feature be added to a new patio?
Yes. Planning both together can improve seating, circulation, utility access, and the relationship between the fire feature and the rest of the space.
Should I choose wood or gas before reaching out?
Not necessarily. Share how you want to use the space. Fuel choice can then be discussed alongside placement, maintenance, utilities, and applicable requirements.
Who handles gas or electrical work?
Any regulated trade work must be completed by an appropriately qualified provider. Responsibility for that work should be confirmed in the project scope.
How is a suitable location determined?
Placement depends on the property, nearby structures, overhead conditions, manufacturer requirements, utilities, and applicable codes. Photos are a starting point, not final approval.
