More and more families are asking us about adding a fire pit to their landscape design, and it’s no surprise. Fire pits give people a chance to enjoy the outdoors together, even into the cooler months here in Chantilly. Smart fire pit design takes safety into account, but also creates a stunning visual centerpiece that you and your family and friends can gather around. Contact AllGreen Landscape Co. to discuss our fire pit ideas today: (703) 992-8787

1. A Circle-Round Fire Pit

The circular fire pit shape is a logical choice with a lot of potential design elements that can make it stunning. A circle is easy for people to gather around, in wonderful static or movable yard furniture. Circular fire pits can be dug into the ground and ringed with stone or brick, or they can be raised and encased in stone, metal or brick. Some families stick with traditional firewood as fuel, but others are trying natural gas with fire glass.

2. The Half-Moon Fire Pit

We’ve done some beautiful half-moon shaped fire pits on terraced landscapes that allow family and friends to look out over a beautiful view while also enjoying the warming fire and roasting marshmallows. These can be installed at the top of a retaining wall deck, or in smaller spaces.

3. Fire Pit on the Table

We’ve worked with several clients on outdoor kitchens that have a more modern vibe with “fire tables” instead of fire pits. The table can be any shape at all, with an opening in the middle for a natural gas fire that comes out of stone or fire glass for a stunning effect. The tables are usually made of stone for fire safety.

4. Move Your Fireplace Outdoors

The outdoor fireplace is another very popular trend that brings a homey feeling to the yard. A free-standing fireplace in the yard guides the smoke away from guests, while still providing a place to gather, roast marshmallows, read books and enjoy the same atmosphere outside that you would enjoy in the living room.
