Block fire pit and curved seat wall on a stamped concrete patio

Fire pits that make the patio.

Built-in fire features designed with the patio, seating and planting around them, for homes in Aldie, Leesburg, Chantilly and across Northern Virginia.

Fire Pits

The reason to stay outside in October.

A fire pit gives a patio a centre. It is where people end up, and it turns a space you use four months a year into one you use eight.

We build fire pits as part of the space around them: enough room for chairs, a surface that drains, a sensible distance from the house and the trees, and planting that frames it without crowding it.

A fire pit can be added to an existing patio or planned into a new one.

What We Build

Built in, not dropped on.

  • Built-in fire pits

    Masonry fire pits built to match the patio and the house.

  • Placement and clearances

    Sited a safe distance from structures, fences and overhanging limbs.

  • Seating space

    Patio sized so chairs fit all the way round with room to walk behind.

  • Seat walls

    Low walls that double as permanent seating.

  • Patio tie-in

    Added to an existing patio or built with a new one.

  • Planting and lighting

    Beds and path lighting planned around the fire area.

    We follow up with the price in writing. Estimates and design consultations are free.

Good Questions

Asked about fire pits.

Can you add a fire pit to a patio we already have?

Usually, yes. We will look at the existing base and layout when we walk the property and tell you what it will take.

How much space does a fire pit need?

Allow for the pit, a ring of chairs and room to walk behind them. We mark it out on site so you can see it before anything is built.

Are there rules about where a fire pit can go?

Counties and many HOAs have rules on distance from structures and on open burning. We will flag what applies on the site visit, and HOA approval is worth checking early.

How does pricing work?

We walk the property with you, then follow up with a written estimate. Estimates and design consultations are free.

Which areas do you serve?

We are based in Aldie and work across Loudoun and Fairfax Counties, including Leesburg, Ashburn, South Riding, Stone Ridge, Brambleton, Chantilly, Sterling and Centreville.
