Wood-burning or gas fire pits built into your patio, with seating, spacing and materials planned so the space works on cool Minnesota evenings.
A fire pit is often the reason people use their yard into October. At Peters’ Patio and Landscape, we build fire pits for homeowners in Rochester and southern Minnesota, usually as part of a paver patio with seating walls wrapped around them.
Most of our fire pits are built from wall block with a steel liner, in colors that match the patio. A round patio with the fire pit in the center is a classic layout, but a fire pit can also sit at the end of a larger patio next to the dining area.
You can choose wood-burning or gas. Wood gives the crackle and smell. Gas lights with a switch and has no smoke or ash. Our post on gas vs. wood-burning covers the trade-offs.
For a bigger centerpiece, an outdoor fireplace gives you a taller wall of stone and blocks wind.
We plan the fire pit location around the house, trees, wind and local rules on distance from structures, then size the patio so there is room for chairs and walking space around the fire.
Fire pits are usually built with a new patio. If you already have a patio, we can often add a fire pit to it or extend it.
