When planning outdoor firepit construction for your backyard, there are several factors to consider to ensure safety, functionality, and aesthetics. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:

#1.  Location: Choose a level and stable area for your firepit, far away from flammable structures, overhanging tree branches, or vegetation. Ensure there's ample space for seating and circulation around the firepit.

#2.  Local regulations: We are familiar with local building codes and regulations for any restrictions or requirements related to firepit construction, such as permits, property setbacks, and approved materials.

#3.  Fuel type: Determine whether you prefer a wood-burning, gas, or propane firepit. Each type has its advantages and drawbacks. Wood-burning firepits create a traditional ambiance but may require more maintenance, while gas and propane firepits are often cleaner and easier to use but do require additional utility work to connect the gas.

#4.  Materials: Select materials that are heat-resistant, durable, and complement the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Common firepit materials include natural stone, concrete blocks, bricks, and metal inserts.  As professionals we're not going to use an unsafe materials.

#5. Design and style: Consider the design and style of your firepit, such as in-ground, above-ground, or fire table, and whether you want a simple or elaborate design. Your firepit's style should complement your home's architecture and the surrounding landscape.

#6.  Size: Determine the appropriate size of your firepit, taking into account the size of your backyard, the number of people you typically entertain, and the desired intensity of the fire. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable seating and circulation around the firepit.

#7.  Safety features: Incorporate safety features such as a spark guard or screen for wood-burning firepits, proper ventilation for gas or propane firepits, and a fire extinguisher or water source nearby for emergency situations.

#8.  Seating and landscaping: Plan the surrounding landscaping and seating to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Consider built-in seating, freestanding chairs, or a combination of both. Incorporate plants, pathways, and lighting to enhance the overall ambiance.

#9.  Budget: Establish a budget for your firepit project, taking into account the costs of materials, labor, and any additional landscaping or seating.  Typically pricing can be anywhere from $2500 to $10,000 or more.  We don't want to show you options that you cannot afford.

#10.  Maintenance: Plan for ongoing maintenance of your firepit, such as cleaning out the ashes for wood-burning firepits, inspecting gas or propane lines, and protecting the firepit from the elements with a cover.

By carefully considering these factors, you can create a safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor firepit that enhances your backyard and provides a welcoming space for gathering and relaxation.

FAQ's About Firepit Construction

Firepit designs can range from very simple designs to more elaborate, custom-built structures.  We work with local suppliers that also offer pre-designed firepits that come in a kit form for a professional to install.

The most common and popular design options include in-ground firepits, above-ground firepits, fire tables, and fire rocks. We can help you choose a firepit design that best suits your backyard space, aesthetic preferences, and your budget.

Yes, we can certainly design and install gas or propane firepits in addition to traditional wood-burning firepits. Typically we'll subcontract with a qualified plumber to install any required gas lines or connections.  Gas and propane firepits offer benefits such as ease of use, cleaner burning, and fewer restrictions in some areas.  If you would like to discuss gas or propane options for your firepit we'd be happy to provide you with those options.

The construction time for a backyard firepit depends on factors like the size, design complexity, and the materials used. On average, we can complete a firepit project within a few days to a week.  We do however book up quickly for these types of projects so it's a good idea to contact us several weeks if not months ahead of time if this is a project you plan on doing.  We generally cannot accommodate requests to build a firepit on short notice.

Permit requirements for firepit construction vary depending on your local municipal regulations. Some areas may require a permit, while others do not.  Generally a permit is not required for a wood burning fire-pit but for gas or propane firepits a permit is often required and can be handled by the plumber who is hired to install the gas piping.

Common materials used for firepit construction include natural stone, landscape blocks, bricks, and metal inserts. Each material offers different aesthetics, durability, and cost. We can help you choose the most suitable material for your specific needs and design preferences.

When choosing seating options for your backyard firepit, consider factors such as comfort, durability, maintenance, and style.  You'll also want to consider how many people do you expect to enjoy your firepit?  You'll want enough seating for your family and possibly some overflow if you have guests or host an outdoor gathering. Seating options range from built-in benches to seat walls to freestanding chairs or even outdoor furniture. We can discuss seating options with you during our on-site consultation.

My wife and I called Matt's company, Razor Sharp Lawn and Landscape after reading some testimonials. We had a retaining wall project and we had specific plans on how we wanted it to look. Matt showed up On Time. That, in itself showed he was professional. When we all agreed on the landscape of the project, we hired him. The pictures show and exemplify the workmanship his team possessed when the job was completed. We highly recommend Matt for all your outdoor projects. Gregory and Bernarda Johnson

Matt and company did a fantastic job on our new privacy fence. We were in dyer need for our new home to provide safety and security for our fur babies. The other companies I contacted were 4-6 weeks out, or more! Razor Sharp got us worked in within a week! On time, professional, and made us feel important to their business. Love the small-town service feel Razor Sharp Lawn & Landscape provided. Thanks a bunch!

Matt and his team do a terrific job, and will more than likely exceed your expectations. I know they did mine! He's quick to respond and has proven that he will back up his work. They also don't put you off or avoid you after you make payment. You become their top priority the moment you leave a message. I have nothing but great things to say about them and I will refer them every chance I get. My sprinkler system was a little more complicated than some and they had no problems. Why would you take a chance on someone else when you know these are the guys that can do it the right way the first time!
