Fire Pit & Outdoor Fireplace Installation

A well-built fire feature can change the way you use your yard. It adds warmth, light, and a natural place for people to gather. At Brothers Landscaping Services, we install custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that make outdoor living spaces more comfortable, more inviting, and more useful through more of the year.

We are a hands-on landscape company led by brothers Matthew and Alex Allard. We built this business on trust, clear communication, and doing the job the right way. When we install a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, we do not treat it like a simple add-on. We look at the full outdoor space, how your family will use it, and how the feature should fit with your patio, seating area, lighting, grading, drainage, and overall landscape design.

What We Install

We design and build both fire pits and outdoor fireplaces for residential outdoor spaces. Every project is planned around the layout of your property, your style, and how you want to use the space.

• Wood-burning fire pits for a classic backyard experience with real flame, crackle, and heat
• Gas fire pits for easy startup, cleaner burning, and simple operation
• Custom outdoor fireplaces that create a strong focal point and help define a patio or outdoor room
• Built-in seating areas around the fire feature for comfort and function
• Integrated hardscape designs that tie the feature into existing or new patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens

Some clients want a simple circular fire pit for casual evenings with family. Others want a larger outdoor fireplace with stone veneer, seat walls, and a finished patio for entertaining. We can help with both.

Fire Pit Installation

Fire pits are one of the most popular ways to add warmth and atmosphere to a backyard. They work well in many settings, from smaller patios to large outdoor entertaining areas. We install fire pits in a range of shapes, sizes, and finishes, including natural stone, concrete block systems, pavers, and other durable hardscape materials.

Our fire pit installation service can include:

• Site planning and layout
• Excavation and proper base preparation
• Stone, block, or paver fire pit construction
• Gas line coordination for natural gas or propane systems
• Fire-rated materials and heat-resistant components
• Surrounding patio extensions or sitting areas
• Seat walls, built-in benches, and landscape enhancements

We pay close attention to spacing, surface materials, and safe placement. A fire pit should feel natural in the yard, but it also needs the right clearance from structures, fences, plantings, and overhead elements.

Outdoor Fireplace Installation

An outdoor fireplace adds a more architectural look and can make a backyard feel like a finished outdoor room. Fireplaces are great for patios where you want a stronger visual centerpiece, more directional heat, and a sense of enclosure. They are especially popular in larger backyard living areas and custom landscape installations.

We build outdoor fireplaces with long-term durability in mind. Depending on the design, projects may include:

• Custom masonry or modular fireplace construction
• Stone veneer, brick, block, or other premium exterior finishes
• Wood-burning or gas-burning systems
• Chimney and venting components where required
• Hearth extensions and decorative facing
• Patio integration and surrounding hardscape work
• Accent lighting and nearby planting design

Because outdoor fireplaces are larger and more detailed than basic fire pits, careful planning matters. We help clients think through size, scale, sightlines, wind direction, seating placement, and how the fireplace will tie into the full landscape design.

Our Design and Planning Process

The best fire feature projects start with smart planning. We take the time to understand your goals, your property, and your budget before construction begins. Our job is not just to build something that looks good on day one. Our job is to build a fire feature that fits the space, performs well, and lasts.

During planning, we look at:

• The size and layout of the yard
• How close the feature is to the house and other structures
• Patio size and traffic flow
• Seating capacity and entertaining needs
• Material choices and finish options
• Fuel type preferences
• Safety clearances and local code requirements
• Drainage, grading, and base stability

If your project is part of a bigger backyard renovation, we can build the fire feature as part of a complete outdoor living plan. That may include paver patios, retaining walls, planting beds, lighting, lawn areas, drainage improvements, and more.

Materials and Finish Options

The materials you choose have a big impact on the final look and long-term performance of your fire feature. We guide clients through options that fit their home style, maintenance goals, and budget. We focus on materials that are durable, weather-resistant, and suitable for outdoor heat exposure.

Common material and finish options include:

• Natural stone for a timeless, high-end appearance
• Concrete wall block systems for strength and clean lines
• Brick for a classic, traditional look
• Paver and hardscape products that match nearby patios and walkways
• Stone veneer finishes for custom outdoor fireplaces
• Metal burner systems and fire rings designed for outdoor use
• Decorative caps, hearthstones, and seating wall components

We help make sure the finished fire pit or fireplace looks like it belongs on your property, not like an afterthought.

Gas vs. Wood-Burning Fire Features

Many homeowners want help choosing between gas and wood-burning systems. Both can be excellent options. The right choice depends on how you want to use the space and what type of experience you want.

Wood-burning fire pits and fireplaces offer a traditional feel, stronger campfire atmosphere, and the sound and smell many people enjoy. They can be a great fit for homeowners who want a rustic, natural outdoor gathering space.

Gas fire pits and fireplaces are popular for convenience. They start quickly, burn cleaner, and are easier to manage. They are often a smart choice for clients who entertain often and want a simple, low-maintenance option.

We walk you through the pros, limitations, and installation requirements of each so you can make a confident decision.

Safety and Proper Construction Matter

Fire feature installation is not just about appearance. It also requires proper construction methods, safe placement, and attention to code and material standards. We take that responsibility seriously. A poorly installed fire pit or fireplace can create safety issues, drainage problems, or premature failure.

That is why we focus on:

• Proper excavation and base preparation
• Stable, level construction
• Use of appropriate fire-rated and exterior-grade materials
• Safe distances from structures and combustible surfaces
• Thoughtful placement for smoke, wind, and user comfort
• Coordination with gas professionals when fuel lines are involved
• A clean, durable final build that is made for long-term use

Our experience with complex landscape and hardscape projects helps us think beyond the fire feature itself. We look at the full environment so the result is functional, attractive, and built the right way.

Benefits of a Custom Fire Pit or Outdoor Fireplace

Adding a backyard fire feature offers more than visual appeal. It can improve how you use your outdoor space and increase the value of your investment in the landscape.

• Creates a natural gathering place for family and guests
• Extends the use of your patio into cooler evenings and seasons
• Adds warmth, ambiance, and visual interest
• Enhances outdoor entertaining areas
• Helps define a backyard living space
• Can increase curb appeal and overall property value
• Pairs well with patios, seating walls, outdoor kitchens, and landscape lighting

For many homeowners, a fire pit or fireplace becomes one of the most used features in the yard.
