Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits

Yes, we can integrate an outdoor fireplace into your existing outdoor living area, ensuring it complements your current design and layout.

Either is an excellent addition to enjoy the space by fire light!

We request an initial appointment timeline of two hours. While it may not take this long, we always strive to accomplish & you should expect certain procedures that happen at the initial appointment:

• Your designer will walk the space with you.
• He or she listens to understand how you envision using your outdoor living area.
• We will take detailed measurements of the current existing structures and those areas in which we will build.
• The team member will then sit with you all inside, at a table, to discuss design choices, pros and cons of each and make recommendations for your unique home, goals and budget.
• As you make choices, the designer will create detailed drawings of the project and price based on your selections.

We do not give 'ballpark' estimates, price per square foot or price ranges as there are a variety of factors that go into designing and pricing your project.

For example, your home may be on a slope - impacting deck height or concrete depth.

The material choices you make, even down to the color, can also significantly influence price. For example, composite wood may be more expensive but has a longer life than natural wood.

Even factors such as location of gates and access to the property can impact pricing. For example, the price to pump concrete in varies from the price it costs when material must be hand-carted or carried into the backyard.

For this reason, we design and price projects at the property with all homeowners' present.

We love projects of all sizes! Our project minimum investment is typically $3,000 (for wood) and $5,500 (for concrete). As quality is our number one value, most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals - so many clients have chosen to complete multiple projects with us and at higher investment levels. We are also happy to phase out your project(s), if that is best for you. No matter the size, we believe you will be creating additional property value and meaningful space for your family to make joyful memories.
