Fire pits provide a natural gathering place. Since the ancient times people have loved to sit near a fire and spend time together. One of the biggest reasons to add a fire pit to your outdoor deck design is so that guests will have a natural place to gather and relax. Whether you are hosting a family barbeque or simply having some neighbors over for the evening, a fire pit will provide a place for people to simply be together.

Fire pits provide a grounding element to a landscape design. Landscapers will tell you that every landscape design needs some type of grounding element or focal point... A central area that starts the rest of the design. A Fire pit as a focal point not only offers that personal element but also brings atmosphere along with it. With today's hectic schedules, having a fire pit gives every member of the family a place to get away. A great place to read a book, spend time with family members catching up on their day, or just a place to sit and think, a fire pit area provides more than just a design element in the landscape. In essence, a fire pit becomes a vacation or sanctuary area in your own yard.

Fire pits can be used year-round. In most climates, a fire pit can be used much of the year, even in some less desirable weather. Providing heat and light, a fire pit can add a level of comfort to spring and fall’s chilliest days allowing family and friends to enjoy the outdoors for that much longer. Our highly skilled landscape technicians can help you to develop the size fire pit you'll need in order to use it year-round.

Fire pits can help introduce Creative Design Elements and materials to your yard. Fire pits can be made of a myriad of materials.

Whether made of stone or pavers, all fire pits should be constructed with fire brick unless a metal, kettle-style fire pit has been selected.

Fire pits do more than simply add a creative focus to your Landscaping Design. With so many options, fire pits provide a cozy spot for family and friends to relax during the spring, summer and fall. A natural gathering place, sitting around a fire pit is the perfect way to end a busy day.

At Shovel and Thumb we take great care in working with our Clients to select the atmosphere and style that makes their Landscape truly their own.
