Fire Feature Installation FAQs

How Big Should a Fire Pit or Fireplace Be?

The size of your fire pit or fireplace depends on two key factors: the scale of your outdoor space and how you plan to use it. A compact fire pit measuring 3 to 4 feet in diameter may suffice for smaller patios, while larger outdoor living areas can accommodate a fireplace or fire pit with more expansive dimensions.

Our design team will help you choose the ideal size to ensure comfort, safety, and aesthetic balance.

How to Determine Between a Fire Pit & an Outdoor Fireplace?

A fire pit is an excellent choice for social settings, as it allows people to gather around the flames. It’s perfect for casual gatherings and maximizing seating arrangements. On the other hand, an outdoor fireplace provides a more structured focal point.

It may be ideal for spaces requiring additional wind protection or for those who desire a more formal architectural statement. We’ll guide you in selecting the option that best suits your needs and outdoor aesthetic.

What's the Cost Difference Between a Fire Pit & Fireplace?

Generally, fire pits are more cost-effective than fireplaces, as they involve simpler construction and fewer materials. A fire pit can range from a few hundred dollars for a basic model to higher-end custom designs, while an outdoor fireplace is typically a more significant investment due to its size, complexity, and structural requirements.

During your consultation, we provide a transparent breakdown of costs based on your chosen design and materials.
