Have you been dreaming of Virginia’s summer nights with family and friends around your own backyard fire pit? What’s stopping you from making it a reality?
Add some summer spice to your yard and make entertaining more enjoyable with a custom designed fire pit. Here are a few creative suggestions from the team at Covis Stone:
Rustic Stone Circle:
Do you prefer the feel of the countryside in your landscaping? A rustic stone fire pit is a charming and natural outdoor feature, typically designed in a circular or square shape. It often consists of various types of stones, arranged in a casual manner enclosing the fire. Using natural stones that are rough and irregular in shape and built in stacked tiers adds to the cozy and earthy design.
To complete this rustic charm, add some wooden log seating around the fire pit and surround it with other natural elements such as gravel, pebbles, or native vegetation.
Beach-Inspired Fire pit:
Bring ocean vibes to your backyard with a beach-inspired fire pit that captures the coastal environment and its relaxed and warm atmosphere. Crafting the outer walls with weathered and textured stones can mimic the rugged shoreline while the center of the fire pit can feature colored flames providing an enchanting coastal touch.
To complete the beach-inspired ambiance, surround the fire pit with seating options, including Adirondack chairs, wooden benches, or lounge chairs with nautical-themed cushions. Tasteful additions such as coastal lanterns complete the overall beach aesthetic.
Modern Concrete Design:
For a sleek and contemporary fire pit, the exterior wall is where the modern design truly shines. It can be a low-profile structure, featuring a sleek, seamless surface, sometimes incorporating geometric patterns and textured finishes, such as ridges or grooves. These designs typically use a polished concrete finish and are designed in a square or rectangular shape. These fire pits are equally appealing on a small patio or in larger spaces as the main focal point.
Modern concrete fire pits can also include built-in gas ignition systems for convenient, safe, and effortless fire starting. Add built-in seating with comfortable cushions or other accessories to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and you’ll have the feeling of an urban highrise in no time!
Bonus Ambiance:
Adjacent to the fire pit, a serene waterfall and custom landscaping can be integrated into a retaining wall design, creating a tranquil ambiance as well as extra seating. Adding custom lighting features provides warm illumination during nighttime gatherings. This combination of fire and water creates a sense of balance and serenity.
