Fire Pit Areas
There is something about a flame in the garden that makes people stay. A well-designed fire pit seating area extends the use of your outdoor space by months either side of summer, gives you somewhere to gather on a still autumn evening, and turns an ordinary patio into the spot everyone heads for after dinner. We design and install bespoke fire pit areas as a complete package, the pit itself, the surrounding hardscape, the seating, the lighting and the planting that ties it all together.
Our fire pit installation work is tailored to how you actually want to use the space. A young family will get something different from a couple who entertain regularly, and a small courtyard calls for a very different solution to a long lawned garden. We talk through fuel type, scale, materials and seating early on so the finished area suits the way you live, not a generic catalogue picture.

Fuel choice matters more than people expect. A wood-burning pit gives you the smell, the crackle and the proper bonfire feel, but needs a safe surround and a sensible distance from the house and fences. A gas or electric fire pit outdoor setup lights at the turn of a dial, throws clean heat without smoke, and is a much better fit for tighter urban gardens or covered seating zones. We will walk you through the pros and cons of each before any quote goes out.
Once the pit is decided, we build the seating area around it as a single, considered space. That usually means a circular or oval hardscape laid in a contrasting material to the main patio, fixed seating that follows the curve, a clean run of low lighting at ankle height and a soft planting backdrop to settle the whole thing into the garden. Get in touch for a free consultation and we will sketch out a fire pit seating area that works for your plot and your budget.
