Traditional Fire Pit Designs
A traditional fire pit can be an attractive accompaniment to your classic backyard. Added to your patio in an adjoining space built of hand-chosen patio pavers, a round or square fire pit could be constructed of complementary materials and fit practically any size space.
If your patio is expansive, you could consider having a long, rectangular fire pit of brick or a multi-size wall stone. The fire pit can be encompassed with a matching retaining wall to bring intimacy and privacy to your fire pit area.
Contemporary Fire Pit Designs
If your home and landscape aesthetic are urban or contemporary, your landscape professionals can give you ideas for a contemporary fire pit to create a focal point in the landscape. For instance, the addition of a round fire bowl to a fresh paver patio could be stunning, or you might choose a custom design of a concrete fire pit in a geometric shape. Something unusual to consider is to have the concrete fire pit designed as a rectangle on what appears to be a pedestal base.
When you do not want to add the fire pit to an existing patio, a pretty alternative can be to have your landscapers situate the fire pit on concrete squares set in a symmetrical pattern and interspersed with grass or fine herbs between the squares. When you walk on the landscape squares, the gentle smell of fresh herbs will fill the air.
Metal Fire Pit Designs
Many homeowners are loving the fresh approach to a fire pit by using metal or metal mixed with stone for a fire pit space. Copper is an excellent choice that weathers into a beautiful patina over time and is able to be molded into many different shapes. Steel can bring a sharp, angular, or bowl-shaped fire pit to your landscape in a color that accents your home perfectly.
The beauty of using metal for a fire pit is its ability to mold into custom shapes and unusual designs. Metal lasts for a long time as does wall stone, so either choice can result in a fire feature that transforms your backyard while giving you peace of mind.
Fire pits can burn wood for a traditional fire smell and feel. Your landscapers can incorporate a nook for dry firewood into the design so you always have fresh firewood handy. Fire pits can be built to burn natural gas if that is available or fueled by a propane tank discreetly hidden nearby.
Is a fire pit on your landscape wish list? Talented landscape professionals can bring you a custom fire pit creation that enhances your outdoor living and establishes a space that you will look forward to using often, right in your own backyard.
