Creating the Perfect Fire Pit for Your Backyard

One of the best features you can add to your outdoor living space is a classic stone fire pit. Perfect for late nights on the patio with friends and family, a fire pit brings the beauty of camping right to the comfort of your own home and backyard. In addition to adding heat and a warm glow to your patio while in use, a fire pit can also be a beautiful addition to your home. Here are some tips to create the perfect fire pit out of natural stone for your backyard.

  • Choose your style. Fire pits are usually built in a campfire or table-style for the backyard. However, some people prefer an actual fireplace they can gather around, or a completely custom design. Stone can be cut in a variety of shapes, or left in its natural state to be used for any style.
  • Choose your stones. Natural stone fire pits can have either a finished look or a rustic appeal, depending on the stones you choose. Pick out random, naturally shaped stones like river rock for a rustic look, cut stones like Tennessee fieldstone for a more finished style.
  • Create a base. In addition to your fire pit, a natural stone patio or base around the pit can add beauty while offering fire protection from sparks. Fire pits should not be placed on wooden decks or close to any flammable materials.

This summer, plan for late nights sitting around the warmth of your own natural stone fire pit. It is the perfect centerpiece for any backyard. Talk to your local quarry about what natural stone options are available to create the ultimate fire pit for your home.
