Outdoor Fire Pits

Outdoor Fire Pits

There is no better way to get back to the normalcy of life and say goodbye to social distancing than an evening around a fire with family and friends. Even before the pandemic struck, a Houzz poll found that there was an increase of almost 20% in interactions with neighbors after a new outdoor project. The same poll found fire pits accounted for more than 30% of outdoor living space additions.

This is one landscape feature that is not limited to a particular size space. We can create a unit small enough to spend a cozy evening for two or large enough to entertain 20 or more. And while you shouldn’t overlook the intrinsic value, they offer much more. They provide an additional cooking area while diverting use away from the indoor oven and reducing the amount of heat inside. Food tastes great cooked over an open flame, and you can choose a fuel from gas, wood, or wood pellets.

They may also serve as the focal point of your landscape design, be the setting for intimate get-togethers or professional corporate outings and be used throughout the year. On top of that, your money is well spent. According to the National Association of Landscape Professionals, you can expect a return on your investment dollars of almost 78%. When the time comes to sell your property, Zillow reports that similar homes with fire pits sold for about 2.8% more. This is one project you’ll get your money’s worth on because it can be used year-round.
