Fire Features & Fireplaces

Custom fire pit and outdoor fireplace installation in Ann Arbor, MI. A fire feature extends the life of your outdoor space into the cooler months and creates a natural gathering point for family and guests. We design and build fire features that are safe, durable, and built to complement your existing hardscape.

  • Fire pits are open on all sides, making them ideal for groups — everyone can gather around. Outdoor fireplaces are more directional and architectural, functioning more like an indoor fireplace brought outside. Fireplaces also tend to produce less smoke directed at guests. The right choice depends on how you'll use the space and the overall design of your outdoor area.

  • Both options are available. Natural gas and propane fire features offer convenience — instant ignition, no wood to store, no ash to clean. Wood-burning fire pits and fireplaces deliver a more traditional experience. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your preferences and what's feasible for your property.

  • Permit requirements vary depending on the type of feature and whether it involves gas lines or permanent masonry construction. Built-in fireplaces and gas-connected features typically require permits. We handle the research and permitting process on every project.

A fire feature brings warmth, atmosphere, and a natural gathering point to your outdoor space. Whether it’s a simple fire pit or a fully built outdoor fireplace, adding fire creates a space where family and friends naturally come together.

We offer a wide range of options, including traditional wood-burning fire pits, smokeless systems, custom gas fire pits, and fully built masonry fireplaces. Each feature is designed to complement the surrounding hardscape and fit the way you plan to use your space — whether that’s casual evenings with family or entertaining larger groups.

Our fire features are built with durability, safety, and clean aesthetics in mind. From material selection to proper base preparation and gas line coordination (when applicable), every detail is handled carefully to ensure long-term performance.

Your outdoor space should feel special — a place you want to spend time in. A thoughtfully designed fire feature adds comfort, extends the usable season in Michigan, and creates a natural focal point that enhances the entire environment.
