Bring Warmth to Your Backyard
There's something special about sitting around a fire. The warmth on your face, the crackle of the flames, the way it brings people together. A fire feature in your backyard gives you that feeling whenever you want it.
Here in Marshfield, we have beautiful fall evenings that are perfect for outdoor fires. With a fire pit or outdoor fireplace, you can enjoy your backyard for more months of the year. Spring, summer, and fall all become outdoor seasons.
Fire Pits
A fire pit is a round or square structure that holds a fire. People sit around it on all sides. This makes it perfect for groups and conversations. Everyone faces each other, and the fire is at the center.
Fire pits can be simple or fancy. A basic pit is just stones stacked in a circle. A high-end pit might have a gas burner, decorative stone, and built-in seating walls. We build both kinds and everything in between.
Outdoor Fireplaces
An outdoor fireplace is more like what you'd have inside your home, but built for the outdoors. It has a back and sides, with the opening facing one direction. This focuses the heat and creates a more dramatic look.
Fireplaces work great as a focal point for a patio area. You can put chairs and couches facing the fireplace, just like a living room. Many of our customers add a TV mount above the fireplace for outdoor movie nights.
Wood or Gas?
Wood-Burning: Nothing beats the smell and sound of a real wood fire. You get that campfire feeling right in your backyard. The downside is you need to buy and store firewood, and there's smoke.
Gas-Burning: Gas fire features start with the flip of a switch. No smoke, no ash, no hauling firewood. They cost more to install because of the gas line, but they're very easy to use.
We can build either type. Many families with young kids prefer gas because there are no sparks and the fire goes out immediately when you turn it off.
Safety First
We build all our fire features to be safe. We use fire-rated materials that can handle high heat. We put the fire a safe distance from your house and any trees. And we make sure you know how to use your fire feature safely.
Marshfield has rules about outdoor fires. We know these rules and make sure your fire feature meets all requirements. We can help with any permits you need.
Part of Your Outdoor Living Space
A fire feature works best when it's part of a complete outdoor area. Combine it with a patio, seating walls, and maybe an outdoor kitchen. We can design the whole space so everything fits together.
"Our fire pit is the heart of our backyard now. The kids roast marshmallows, we have friends over for drinks around the fire. It gets used almost every weekend from April to November."
"We went with an outdoor fireplace and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's like having an extra room in our house. Even on cool nights, we sit out there by the fire and enjoy the evening."
