Easy to Create
A stone fire pit is a fantastic and inexpensive way to add warmth to your outdoor space. To create one, dig a hole at least seven inches deep. Then, fill the hole with gravel to form a five-inch base. After you’ve filled the hole with gravel, you’ll need to level it by wetting the gravel with a garden hose and compacting it with a hand tamper. Of course, if you’d prefer to trust the experts, we’ve provided landscaping in Parry Sound and Muskoka since 1986 with countless beautiful hardscape designs in our portfolio.
One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a stone fire pit is its safety. Stone pits have a lower risk of catching fire than others. At the same time, sand is an excellent, inexpensive way to cover a fire pit and prevent ash buildup. A steel liner will also keep the fire pit from degrading too quickly. Refer to our blog on How to Safely Build a Fire Pit on Natural Stone for more fire pit considerations before you begin the design-build process.

Building an attractive and functional fire pit is essential for your outdoor space. Whether you want a portable model or a patio one, a fire pit should have enough storage space for your firewood, with practicality and quality aesthetic appeal.
A creative way to store firewood is to put it inside an outdoor trunk. The trunk can be used as a seating area, but it will also serve as a storage space when you’re not using it. If you’re concerned about privacy, landscaping around the pit can help. For example, you can plant waist-high native grasses and white hydrangeas to create seclusion.
