Why Choose a Paver Fire Pit?
Choosing a fire pit for your outdoor space adds warmth, ambiance, and a central gathering point for family and friends. Fire pits provide a cozy atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy your backyard even on cooler evenings. They are versatile in design, available in various styles, sizes, and materials to match your outdoor decor.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, fire pits are functional, offering a place to cook, roast marshmallows, or simply relax around the fire. They also enhance the value of your property by creating an inviting outdoor living area. Easy to install and maintain, fire pits are a practical and stylish addition that transforms your outdoor space into a welcoming retreat.
Paver Fire Pit Construction
Fire pits are a quick and easy addition to enhance the beauty of your project. Often, we can build them directly over your patio pavers. However, if you prefer the fire pit to be integrated into the patio, we will install it over a small concrete footing. Whether we are constructing a round, square, wood-burning, or gas fire pit, we always adhere to manufacturer specifications. This includes ensuring gas fire pits are properly ventilated and wood-burning pits have the necessary heat protection on the blocks.
While the installation process may seem complex, rest assured that our expert fire pit installers handle every detail with precision. We ensure that each element is meticulously executed to provide you with a durable and stunning walkway.
Fire Pit Location
Step one is strategically choosing a location for your fire pit. Selecting the right spot involves several considerations, which we can discuss during your free consultation and estimate. When planning, it’s important to consider the contractors who will install your fire pit.
Although the fire pit itself is only about 3-4 feet in diameter, you will need at least a 100 square foot area around it (10ft x 10ft) to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable space. Additionally, avoid placing it near trees and ensure it’s not too close or too far from your home. Local fire pit installers can guide you in making the best decision for your specific situation.
Installation or Excavation
Our standard practice is to build the fire pit on top of the pavers if they are already present – if not we start from scratch with excavation. However, some clients prefer it to be integrated into the patio. In this case, we mix a small concrete footing for the fire pit to sit on and add a border around the base. This option is more costly due to the additional time and labor required. Each course of the fire pit is glued together for stability. Once the fire pit is constructed, we install a metal ring to protect the blocks from heat, preventing them from cracking.
Final Phase
The fire pit is then filled with sand up to the bottom of the ring, creating a bed for placing logs and keeping the fire elevated. Adding caps to the top can enhance the appearance of your fire pit, though it does increase the cost due to additional materials and labor.

Fire Pit Best Practices
When installing a fire pit, it’s crucial to follow best practices to ensure safety and longevity. Always choose a level, non-combustible surface for your fire pit location, and maintain a safe distance from structures, trees, and overhanging branches. Incorporate proper ventilation, especially for gas fire pits, to prevent gas buildup. Use high-quality, heat-resistant materials, and install a metal ring to protect the structure from heat damage. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning out ash and inspecting for cracks, will keep your fire pit in optimal condition. Lastly, always have safety measures in place, like a fire extinguisher or water source, to handle any unexpected emergencies.
