Fire Pit Installation

Custom and kit fire pits designed to fit naturally within your patio and outdoor living space.

Fire pits are often placed at the center of an outdoor gathering area. Whether it’s part of a patio or a separate seating space in the yard, a fire pit creates a place where people naturally gather during cooler evenings.

At Himmel’s Landscape and Garden Center, we install both custom fire pits and pre-designed fire pit kits that can be integrated into patios and surrounding landscape features.

Custom Fire Pits & Pre-Designed Fire Pit Kits

Fire pits can be built from scratch or installed using pre-designed kits depending on the style of the patio and the homeowner’s preferences.

Many homeowners choose fire pit kits, which provide a clean and consistent appearance that pairs well with paver patios. Others prefer a custom fire pit built using wall block or finished with natural stone veneer.

What Materials Can Be Used to Build Your Fire Pit?

Fire pits can be constructed using several materials depending on the look you want to create in the outdoor space.

Wall block systems from manufacturers such as Nicolock, Cambridge, and Techo-Bloc are commonly used because they match nearby patios and seating walls. For a more natural or rustic appearance, some homeowners choose fire pits finished with natural stone veneer, stacked stone, or large boulders.

These materials allow the fire pit to feel consistent with the surrounding patio and landscape design.

What Shapes Are Available for Your Fire Pit?

Fire pits can be built in several shapes and sizes depending on the layout of the patio.

Circular fire pits are the most common because they are easy to incorporate into many patio layouts and allow seating to be arranged evenly around the fire. Square fire pits have also become popular and can work well in patios with more structured layouts.

What Fuel Options Are Available for Your Fire Pit?

Fire pits can be designed to burn wood, natural gas, or propane. Each option works well, and the best choice usually depends on how you plan to use the fire pit.

During the planning process, we talk through how the fire pit will be used—whether you’re looking for a traditional fire experience, something primarily for ambiance, or a feature that can be turned on quickly for gatherings.

• Wood-burning: A wood-burning fire pit creates the classic campfire experience. Many homeowners enjoy the sound, smell, and atmosphere of a traditional fire, especially if they plan to cook or roast food over the flames.
• Natural gas: Gas fire pits are a convenient option that can be turned on and off quickly. With a built-in gas line, the fire is ready whenever you want to enjoy the space without the process of starting and maintaining a wood fire.
• Propane: Propane fire pits offer similar convenience to gas but use a propane tank instead of a permanent gas line. This option can be easier to install in areas where a gas connection is not available.
