Adding A Fire Pit To Your Outdoor Living Space

Here in Kansas City, we experience extreme temperatures on both ends of the spectrum. Our summers are hot and humid, but our autumn and winter can be very cold. One of the best ways to create a backyard retreat that will serve your family year-round is adding a fire pit to your design.

Fire pits can serve many purposes in your backyard. These beautiful hardscaping creations make time outside with your guests even more enjoyable by adding the comfort of warmth to your patio. Fire pits create an inviting atmosphere, inviting guests to gather close and share stories or socialize. The addition of a fire pit to your backyard retreat also gives you the option to cook outside, roasting hot dogs or toasting marshmallows for s’mores.

Fire pits are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes. With the help of our design team at Kansas City Hardscapes, you can literally dream up whatever fire pit you feel will fit best in your outdoor space. At Kansas City Hardscapes, we create three different categories of fire pits, and each can be further customized based on your own personal preferences.

Block Fire Pits

A custom block fire pits is probably what you imagined when you first read the title of this blog post. These fire pits are encased by a wall of stone blocks or bricks, and are most commonly designed as a circle or or a square.

Custom Build Fireplace

These hardscaping features are often central to the design of the entire backyard retreat. Built to resemble a traditional fireplace, these can be created from a wide variety of stones or bricks.

Natural or Liquid Propane Gas

If you would prefer to skip to hassle of using wood to fuel the fires in your fire pit or fireplace, we can arrange for a gas line to be installed instead. At Kansas City Hardscapes, we have burners, log sets, and gas igniters in varying designs and price ranges.

Pizza Ovens

Nothing completes an outdoor kitchen quite like a beautifully built pizza oven. Cook outside with family and friends, impressing your guests with amazing, gourmet pizzas prepared in your backyard retreat.

With the help of one of our team members, you can create a custom designed fire pit or fireplace for your backyard. Because these features are highly customizable, we encourage all potential clients to schedule an initial hardscaping design consultation before creating a plan or budget for their hardscaping project.
