Looking for a way to enjoy your backyard more often—even on cool nights? A custom fire pit is the perfect solution. Whether you're roasting marshmallows with the kids or hosting friends for evening drinks, a fire pit adds warmth, style, and a focal point to your outdoor space.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we specialize in designing fire pit areas that are both beautiful and built to last. Here are our favorite fire pit ideas to help you transform your backyard into a cozy gathering spot.

1. Classic Circular Fire Pits for Conversation

The circle is a timeless shape that naturally brings people together.

Why it works:

• Encourages group seating and conversation
• Ideal for round paver patios or turf inlays
• Can be built with stone, brick, or modern concrete
• Pairs perfectly with built-in or moveable seating

We design fire pits that serve as the heart of your backyard.

2. Square or Rectangular Fire Pits for a Modern Look

Want something sleek and contemporary? Go with a geometric design.

Benefits:

• Clean lines match modern paver layouts
• Fits well with structured spaces or near pergolas
• Works for smaller yards or built-in seating arrangements
• Can double as a table when not in use

Our custom fire pits are tailored to your space and style preferences.

3. Built-In Seating for a Polished Touch

Adding seating around your fire pit makes it feel intentional and complete.

Options:

• Retaining walls with bench-style seating
• Stone or concrete seat walls with cushions
• Raised planters that double as seating
• Wood or composite benches for contrast

We integrate seating that’s functional and visually balanced.

4. Combine with Pavers for a Clean Foundation

The area around your fire pit matters just as much as the pit itself.

Paver advantages:

• Durable and easy to clean
• Available in patterns and tones that match your home
• Safe surface that handles heat and sparks
• Defines the fire zone and enhances the look

We install high-quality paver patios that work seamlessly with your fire feature.

5. Light the Area for Nighttime Vibes

A fire pit naturally glows—but added lighting brings it to life.

Lighting ideas:

• Paver lights embedded in the patio
• Downlights on surrounding fencing or walls
• String lights overhead from a pergola
• Spotlights or path lighting for safe access

We design lighting systems that create ambiance and visibility.

6. Create Multi-Use Zones Around the Fire Pit

Your fire pit doesn’t have to stand alone—make it part of a larger plan.

Add-ons:

• A turf zone nearby for games or relaxing
• A bar or grill area for entertaining
• Lounge chairs or hammocks for daytime use
• Privacy from neighbors with fencing or landscaping

We build outdoor spaces that are cohesive, practical, and personal.

7. Choose Between Wood and Gas Options

What type of fire pit suits your lifestyle?

Consider:

• Wood-burning for a traditional, crackling experience
• Gas fire pits for convenience and clean burning
• Options to match your budget, usage, and safety preferences

We offer custom builds with either option, always installed to code.
