Integrating fire elements into your hardscape elevates outdoor living, creating focal points that extend usability into cooler evenings. Lark Landscape’s hardscaping service offers custom fire pits, fire tables, and built-in fireplaces crafted from natural stone, cast concrete, or steel fire rings. Our design team begins by determining safe clearances, fuel preferences (wood-burning vs. gas), and user lifestyles to select the ideal fire feature. Wood-burning fire pits evoke traditional campfire ambiance but require masonry liners and spark arrestors for safety. Propane or natural gas units provide instant flames with adjustable controls and minimal smoke. We surround fire features with seating walls, benches, or weather-resistant outdoor furniture, designing layouts that promote conversation and comfort. Integrated stone veneers, decorative coping stones, and custom metal accents reinforce thematic cohesion with nearby patios and walls. To ensure code compliance, our installations include gas line connections by licensed professionals, flame-retardant backer materials, and spark-proof seating surfaces. LED lighting under coping or within bench bases adds subtle illumination, while weatherproof covers protect fire units during idle seasons. Post-installation, we provide maintenance instructions for cleaning gas burners, removing ash, and inspecting structural elements.
