When planning outdoor firepit construction for your backyard, there are several factors to consider to ensure safety, functionality, and aesthetics. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:

#1.  Location: Choose a level and stable area for your firepit, far away from flammable structures, overhanging tree branches, or vegetation. Ensure there's ample space for seating and circulation around the firepit.

#2.  Local regulations: We are familiar with local building codes and regulations for any restrictions or requirements related to firepit construction, such as permits, property setbacks, and approved materials.

#3.  Fuel type: Determine whether you prefer a wood-burning, gas, or propane firepit. Each type has its advantages and drawbacks. Wood-burning firepits create a traditional ambiance but may require more maintenance, while gas and propane firepits are often cleaner and easier to use but do require additional utility work to connect the gas.

#4.  Materials: Select materials that are heat-resistant, durable, and complement the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Common firepit materials include natural stone, concrete blocks, bricks, and metal inserts.  As professionals we're not going to use an unsafe materials.

#5. Design and style: Consider the design and style of your firepit, such as in-ground, above-ground, or fire table, and whether you want a simple or elaborate design. Your firepit's style should complement your home's architecture and the surrounding landscape.

#6.  Size: Determine the appropriate size of your firepit, taking into account the size of your backyard, the number of people you typically entertain, and the desired intensity of the fire. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable seating and circulation around the firepit.

#7.  Safety features: Incorporate safety features such as a spark guard or screen for wood-burning firepits, proper ventilation for gas or propane firepits, and a fire extinguisher or water source nearby for emergency situations.

#8.  Seating and landscaping: Plan the surrounding landscaping and seating to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Consider built-in seating, freestanding chairs, or a combination of both. Incorporate plants, pathways, and lighting to enhance the overall ambiance.

#9.  Budget: Establish a budget for your firepit project, taking into account the costs of materials, labor, and any additional landscaping or seating.  Typically pricing can be anywhere from $2500 to $10,000 or more.  We don't want to show you options that you cannot afford.

#10.  Maintenance: Plan for ongoing maintenance of your firepit, such as cleaning out the ashes for wood-burning firepits, inspecting gas or propane lines, and protecting the firepit from the elements with a cover.

By carefully considering these factors, you can create a safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor firepit that enhances your backyard and provides a welcoming space for gathering and relaxation.

FAQ's About Firepit Construction

Firepit designs can range from very simple designs to more elaborate, custom-built structures.  We work with local suppliers that also offer pre-designed firepits that come in a kit form for a professional to install.

The most common and popular design options include in-ground firepits, above-ground firepits, fire tables, and fire rocks. We can help you choose a firepit design that best suits your backyard space, aesthetic preferences, and your budget.

Yes, we can certainly design and install gas or propane firepits in addition to traditional wood-burning firepits. Typically we'll subcontract with a qualified plumber to install any required gas lines or connections.  Gas and propane firepits offer benefits such as ease of use, cleaner burning, and fewer restrictions in some areas.  If you would like to discuss gas or propane options for your firepit we'd be happy to provide you with those options.

The construction time for a backyard firepit depends on factors like the size, design complexity, and the materials used. On average, we can complete a firepit project within a few days to a week.  We do however book up quickly for these types of projects so it's a good idea to contact us several weeks if not months ahead of time if this is a project you plan on doing.  We generally cannot accommodate requests to build a firepit on short notice.

Permit requirements for firepit construction vary depending on your local municipal regulations. Some areas may require a permit, while others do not.  Generally a permit is not required for a wood burning fire-pit but for gas or propane firepits a permit is often required and can be handled by the plumber who is hired to install the gas piping.

Common materials used for firepit construction include natural stone, landscape blocks, bricks, and metal inserts. Each material offers different aesthetics, durability, and cost. We can help you choose the most suitable material for your specific needs and design preferences.

When choosing seating options for your backyard firepit, consider factors such as comfort, durability, maintenance, and style.  You'll also want to consider how many people do you expect to enjoy your firepit?  You'll want enough seating for your family and possibly some overflow if you have guests or host an outdoor gathering. Seating options range from built-in benches to seat walls to freestanding chairs or even outdoor furniture. We can discuss seating options with you during our on-site consultation.

I called Matt at Razor Sharp Landscaping to consult on a drainage issue I had in my backyard. He gave me a couple of options, and I decided to go with landscaping the area with flowering bushes and plants, river rocks and small boulders. His quote was timely, included a sketch and plant recommendations at a reasonable cost. He and his staff arrived on time, on the day expected and completed the work very quickly. I am very happy with the results and definitely recommend them!

If you are like me, our weekends are swamped with youth sports and busy schedules. We typically do a lot of projects ourselves, but for a retaining wall and gravel rock around the back deck it would have taken us all summer to do ourselves. We are so glad we called Razor Sharp Lawn and Landscape, they knocked it out in 3 days and could not be happier with the results the team did. Their team is polite and accommodating to getting our backyard in order I can't thank them enough. They are way more creative than me and do the job right. Their pricing hit our budget perfectly and didn't try to oversell the job. They are honest, have all the right tools to complete large jobs quickly. If you are in the same boat as I was, I encourage you to check them out. You will not be disappointed!

Matt was always prompt on returning texts and always showed up when he said he would. Matt and Kelley worked hard everyday leveling our yard moving dirt cutting down trees and digging up stumps. They prepped everything, built a curved retaining wall, built a fence, put down sod, and put down gravel for a cornhole court. They turned our ugly backyard into a yard we can now truly enjoy. Great to work with. Thanks!

10/10. I had an erosion issue and wanted to make it pretty and functional. Needed a retaining wall and pavers. Being in Real Estate we see all kinds of work and craftsmanship. I work with contractors 24/7. Matt answered my call right away and came to estimate my project within 24 hours. He was knowledgeable and professional. The price was better than the 2 other quotes I received. He was prompt everyday during the project. No complaints from them even when I asked 100 questions. I will be using this company for all my lawn and landscape needs. Great job guys!!
