People naturally tend to gather around a fire as a focal point. Few things are more fundamental, or more enjoyable, than sitting around an open fire with family and friends.
Outdoor Cooking & S’mores

Our Build Process
1. Design
The utility of each fire feature is as unique as the specific tastes of each client.
2. Prepare
Gas or wood burning? We’ll need to start with proper drainage and utilities.
3. Build
Brick, stone, or travertine can all be used to create the feature.
4. Live
We’ll fire it up and walk away leaving you to the new centerpiece of your space.
Outdoor Fire Feature Costs
There are simply too many site specific details to provide a unit price without first seeing the area. Once we put our eyes on it, we can discuss all of your desired design elements, the way you intend to use the space and provide a price to get started. We can also provide you with several creative ways to make that happen. Let’s get that started today.
