You likely want a fire pit that fits well on your paver patio or next to your backyard pavilion.
Eye-Catching Materials
When you start brainstorming as to the material choices for your fire pit, you’ll have a lot of options.

The masonry materials can be all one color or a variety of colors, to give the fire feature more character.
Creative Style
When you choose your fire pit design, don’t be afraid to go with a creative style. Your fire pit can have a metal fire bowl placed inside a masonry structure fire pit surrounded by large rocks for a natural look. You can also give your fire pit style added flair by potentially including mosaic tile around the outside of the fire pit for a modern look. Pick colorful masonry features to give your fire pit a unique touch. You can build a creative paver patio to put the fire pit on and have a complete outdoor fire feature area.
Gas- and Wood-Fired Options
You have different options regarding how your fire pit is powered. You can add a gas fire pit to your backyard or opt for a wood fired fire pit. The type of fire pit you choose depends on your fuel preference and whether you like the invigorating smell of wood burning in the fire pit or opt for the easy cleanup option of a gas fire pit.
Accompanying Fire Pit Area Features
A custom fire pit area can include unique add-on features. For example, add a retaining wall next to the fire pit for extra seating and include plantings in the scenery to give the area a natural touch. You can also have a pergola or pavilion built next to the fire pit area to create an ideal entertaining spot to gather with friends and family members as the fire crackles and glows in your yard. Depending on where your fire pit is located, you may want a paver walkway leading out to this ambient fire feature.
