Patio & fire feature design

Rooms without walls

A patio people actually use is never a slab with furniture on it. It is a sequence of decisions — where the fire sits, where water goes, where the light falls — made before the first stone. Four spaces below show how those decisions come together.

  1. 01The centerpiece
  2. 02The pavilion
  3. 03The modern line
  4. 04The fire pad

01 — The centerpiece

The seat everyone drifts toward

Ask people what they remember about a great property and it is never the square footage — it is where the evening happened. A fire circle gives a courtyard, pool deck, or common green that place: one warm point that pulls people out of their routines and into conversation.

02 — The pavilion

Cooking moves outdoors

The strongest outdoor spaces are planned like rooms — a kitchen with a roof over it, a hearth to face, a floor that sheds water. A timber pavilion turns a patio from fair-weather space into the address of every gathering from April to November.

03 — The modern line

Shade that moves with the day

For contemporary buildings, the same idea in a different language: a powder-coated steel pergola with louvers that angle with the sun, large-format pavers with tight joints, and a single stone hearth anchoring the room. Clean lines — and nothing that rattles in the wind.

04 — The fire pad

Not every space needs a roof

Sometimes the right answer is the quiet one: a level gravel pad, a stone fire ring, and chairs in an arc. Done properly it is not a compromise — it is a deliberate, low-maintenance room at the edge of the lawn that people actually use.

Questions

Answered before you ask

Straight answers on scope, process, and documentation — the same terms that go into your service agreement.

  1. What materials do you work with?

    Pavers, natural stone, and block are our standard material families. The specific materials, colors, and finishes for your project are confirmed per project during the concept phase — we don't substitute materials after approval.

  2. Do you handle drainage as part of hardscape work?

    Yes. Drainage is assessed during site measurement and planned before installation. Water management is part of the scope, because hardscape that ignores drainage fails early.

  3. Do you design and install fire pits and fire features?

    Yes — fire pits, fire circles, and outdoor fireplaces are designed as part of the patio plan, not dropped in afterward. Fuel choice (gas or wood), clearances, seating radius, and lighting are settled during the concept phase, so the fire fits the space and the way you'll use it.

  4. How long does a hardscape project take?

    The timeline is defined per project in your proposal, based on scope, site conditions, and phasing. You approve the schedule along with the scope — we don't quote durations before measuring the site.

  5. Can a project be phased?

    Yes. Larger projects can be phased across seasons or budget cycles, with each phase scoped and documented separately.

  6. Is a final walkthrough included?

    Always. Every project closes with a final walkthrough and a care plan, so you know exactly what was built and how to keep it that way.
