Fire Pit Installation & Backyard Features

Backyard fun doesn’t need to end when the sun goes down. At EA Proscapes, we design and build fire pits and custom backyard features that become the focal point of outdoor living — the place where your yard truly comes alive.

With more than 20 years serving Longmont homeowners, we build features that are designed to fit your yard, your lifestyle, and Colorado’s specific conditions.

How a Fire Pit Revitalizes Your Backyard

A fire pit extends the usable season of your outdoor space significantly — in a Colorado climate where evenings can be cool even through September and October, a fire pit means more time outside. It creates a natural gathering point for family and friends, adds a visual anchor to the landscape, and provides warmth that makes outdoor entertaining possible on nights when it otherwise wouldn’t be.

Whether you prefer a rustic stone ring, a structured raised fire pit with seating walls, a gas-powered fire feature with clean modern lines, or a custom fire pit table built into an outdoor living space, EA Proscapes designs and builds it to your specifications.

Fire Pit Styles & Options

Wood-Burning Fire Pits

The classic choice. A wood-burning fire pit delivers the authentic crackling fire experience — the sounds, the smells, the visual depth of real flame. We build wood-burning fire pits in a range of styles, from natural stone designs that complement a rustic Colorado aesthetic to more structured built-in designs with integrated seating walls and storage.

Gas Fire Pits & Fire Features

Gas fire pits offer convenience that wood-burning pits can’t match — instant ignition, adjustable flame height, and no ash cleanup. They’re an excellent choice for homeowners who want the ambiance of a fire feature with minimal effort. Gas fire pits can be designed in a wide range of styles, including contemporary linear burners, round fire bowls, and fire pit tables.

Custom Fire Pit Designs

We also build fully custom fire pit installations — integrated into patios, surrounded by built-in seating walls, combined with outdoor kitchen features, or designed as a central element of a larger backyard transformation. If you have a vision, we want to hear it.

Additional Backyard Features

Fire pits are one of our most popular backyard features, but they’re far from the only ones we install. EA Proscapes builds a range of custom outdoor elements that enhance how you use and enjoy your yard.

Seating Walls

Built-in seating walls serve double duty — they provide casual seating around fire pits or throughout an outdoor living space, and they add visual structure and definition to the landscape. We build seating walls from natural stone, manufactured block, or brick, selected to complement your home and hardscape materials.

Outdoor Kitchen Elements

We install outdoor kitchen features including built-in grills, countertop areas, and storage — creating outdoor cooking and entertaining spaces that make backyard hosting genuinely easy.

Pergolas & Shade Structures

A pergola adds architectural definition to an outdoor space and provides partial shade that makes patios usable even on hot Colorado afternoons. We build pergolas as standalone features or integrated with patios and decks.

Designed to Complement Your Landscape

The best backyard features don’t look like they were added without thought — they look like they were always meant to be there. When we design fire pits and other features for your yard, we consider the overall landscape context: the style of your home, the materials used in existing hardscape elements, the surrounding plantings, and how the feature will be viewed and used from different parts of the yard.

The result is a backyard feature that enhances the whole property, not just the spot where it sits.

Built for Safety and Longevity

Fire features need to be built properly. We follow best practices for fire pit construction and, where applicable, all relevant local codes and permit requirements. We use materials that handle heat cycling and Colorado’s seasonal temperature swings, and we design installations with appropriate clearances from structures, vegetation, and property lines.

When we build a fire feature, we build it to last — and to be safe.

Fire Pits & Backyard Features FAQs

What Does Fire Pit Installation Include?

Installation includes site excavation, compacted gravel base preparation, fire pit wall construction using your selected materials, and finishing with cap stones and interior media like lava rock or fire glass. Gas fire pits & backyard features include underground gas line installation from your home’s supply, burner assembly connection, and ignition system testing. Wood-burning fire pits & backyard features receive proper ventilation design, ash removal access, and spark screen installation to contain embers safely.

How Long Does Fire Pit Construction Take?

Most fire pit installations require two to five days depending on size, complexity, and whether gas line trenching is necessary. Simple wood-burning fire pits using stacked stone or block complete faster than elaborate gas fire pits with integrated seating walls and landscape lighting. Weather delays affect masonry work, as mortar requires temperatures above freezing for proper curing. Service professionals schedule fire pits & backyard features during dry weather periods to ensure quality results and minimize delays.

What Maintenance Do Fire Pits & Backyard Features Require?

Wood-burning designs require regular ash removal before ash accumulation blocks drainage holes or creates cleaning difficulty. Annual mortar joint inspection identifies cracks that need repair before water penetration causes damage. Gas fire pits & backyard features need burner cleaning to remove debris, spider web inspection inside burner ports, and leak testing of all gas connections. Cap stones may require re-sealing every few years to maintain water resistance, and lava rock or fire glass occasionally needs rinsing to remove soot buildup.

Can Fire Pits Be Added to Existing Patios?

Fire pits can be incorporated into existing patio areas when sufficient clearances exist from structures and the patio surface consists of non-combustible materials like concrete pavers or natural stone. Service professionals verify the patio base can support additional fire pit weight without settling and that no underground utilities run through the proposed location. Some fire pits & backyard features require patio section removal to create proper excavation depth for base materials, while others use surface-mount designs that require minimal excavation but may need heat shields depending on patio composition.
