Attleboro, MA · Fire Pits

Fire pit installation in Attleboro, MA

A fire pit is the thing you end up using most, and the thing most often dropped onto a patio that wasn't planned for it. Building it into the layout from the start is what makes it feel like part of the yard instead of an afterthought.

In Attleboro that usually means older yards with mixed grades, so we work out where the water leaves before we set the first paver. Many of these lots were built up over time, and the high and low spots move around.

Older Attleboro yards often fit the pit into an existing corner so it needs the least new grade and the least new stone. Attleboro's older yards often already have a level corner worn into the lawn, which is usually the cheapest place to set a pit because it needs the least new grade.

A fire pit in Attleboro wants its own level pad and a clear ring around it, so the seating sits flat and the heat has somewhere to go. Building it into the patio layout from the start is cheaper and looks better than dropping one onto finished stone later.

Common questions

Fire Pits in Attleboro

What size fire pit should I build?

Most backyard pits land between three and four feet across inside; that's a comfortable circle for four to six people. Bigger looks impressive and then never gets a fire warm enough to enjoy.

Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio?

Often, yes. If the layout and the base will take it we can build one in. Sometimes the honest answer is that the patio was never graded for it, and we'll say so.

Wood or gas?

Wood is the classic and what most people picture. Gas is cleaner to start and stop. We build the bowl either way and can discuss the trade-off when we look at the yard.
