Fire Pit Options for your Backyard

Written by csDevTeam on . Posted in Fire Pits, Landscaping.

Adding a fire pit into your landscape design adds another detail to your backyard for entertaining. Here are some fire pit design ideas that can instantly enhance your backyard.

A Covered Fire Pit

A covered fire pit allows people to sit around and enjoy the warmth of the fire no matter what the weather. A gazebo will create a new layer of design for your outdoor area.

A Stone Fire Pit

A stone fit pit will complement features in your hardscape. Its natural appeal creates a visually stimulating outdoor area that is perfect for entertaining anyone from a single friend to a party full of people.

A Rectangular Fire Box

If you want to set up a seating area around your fire pit, the rectangular firebox is a good option. Whether you want an L-shaped outdoor sofa or a lot of comfortable chairs, this feature makes it easy to achieve your ideal outdoor aesthetic.

Round Firepit

Round firepits work well if you want a less formal design. All you need to do is pull up your chairs and enjoy the warmth.

A Large, Square Fire Pit

If you are looking at a fire pit to be the focal point of your entire yard, choose a large, square design. When it sits in the center of your backyard, it is easy to choose the perfect landscape design to go around it.

Heating Options

Firepit flames can be fueled by natural gas, propane, or wood. For the gas and propane option, there are round or square burners. Burners can be covered with lava (cinder) rocks or beautiful colored glass.

Whether you want to add a fire pit to a yard that is almost complete or you want to completely transform your current landscape design, Santa Rita Landscaping is here to help.

BACKYARD FEATURES YOU CAN ENJOY THIS SPRING

Springtime is the perfect time of year for you to enjoy outdoor living with comfortable temperatures and new blooming plants and trees. Enjoy more time in your backyard this spring by adding the following features into your home landscape.

Artificial Turf for Outdoor Play

Just because we live in the desert, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the look of grass! Real grass can be difficult and expensive to maintain.  That’s why many homeowners have chosen to add artificial turf to their landscaping. Artificial turf gives your backyard that green welcoming look and offers children and pets a great area to play on a soft service. Do you like to golf? You can add a personal putting green to your outdoor oasis.

 

Fire Pits for Warm Nights

Desert temperatures can drop by 20 degrees in the evening during the spring and summer. Make the most out of these evenings by adding a fire pit to roast marshmallows or just enjoy sitting around the fire.  There are fire pits to match every type of home style from more natural-looking rock pits to modern, sleek sculptural designs. Note that natural gas designs are extremely easy to use and maintain.

 

Relax with Water Features

Who doesn’t enjoy the relaxing sound of water falling and traveling over rocks or a bubbling spring?  Water features are guaranteed to add soothing sights and sound to your home.

Incorporating a water feature is easy. Similar to fire pits, water features are available in a variety of custom natural or architectural designs. Recreate the essence of a natural pond in your backyard or install a Mediterranean style fountain.
