If the thought of heading inside at the end of the day makes you feel sad, perhaps it is time to add a fire pit to your Waunakee, WI, landscape design. You can make the evenings last longer into the fall with a gorgeous custom fire pit.
A fire pit has the distinct advantage of adaptability to fit most any size landscape space. For an expansive space, you could make it a huge focal point, and for a courtyard, you could keep it tight and designate it toward an unused corner. When you combine a fire pit with another outdoor feature, this space can function in multiple ways.
Fire Pit Ideas
Small yard: Perhaps you thought your landscape doesn’t have much space for a fire pit—but chances are you probably have an unused corner that could be the perfect location for a cozy fire pit.
A great fire pit idea for this type of space can be a square structure that is recessed in the ground. The area surrounding it could be pea gravel or patio pavers, and three of the sides of the square could have all-weather wood benches. The final side could be composed of wide, deep steps that allow you to access the fire pit and double as seating space. Surrounded by plants and shrubs that anchor the space with fencing along the periphery for privacy, this can become your little heated retreat.
Expansive yard: When your yard has plenty of space, an innovative fire pit can be situated at the end of the property as a destination. There your landscapers can recess a fire pit that reminds you of the Roman Colosseum with its stadium seating in a circular pattern. With several levels of seating, this fire pit can feel intimate because it is sunken in the ground and majestic because of its elegant design.
Covered along with the patio: With a fire pit nestled under the patio covering, you never have to worry about being subject to the fickle weather. Built of wall stone that is the same tone and texture as the patio pavers, this fire pit can feel like a seamless part of the outdoor space.
Surrounded by comfortable outdoor furniture and with easy access to the indoors for drinks and snacks, having a fire pit beneath the patio roof can be quite convenient.
Echoing the pool shape: Having an extension of the pool deck or a complete upgrade with pool deck pavers can establish the ideal space for a fire pit near the swimming pool so that at the end of the day, the adults can relax and the kids can swim. Having the fire pit near the pool can also allow you and your guests to enjoy the reflection of the pool water at night while propping your feet by the fire. It would be hard to think of a better end to a day.
The versatility of a fire pit can be unmatched. And the variety of styles and shapes available means that your fire feature can be a one-of-a-kind feature in your landscape.
