Fire features bring warmth, ambiance, and a natural gathering space to your outdoor area. Whether you are looking for a simple fire pit or a fully built outdoor fireplace, they can transform how you use your space year round.
At Georgian Landscape Design, we design fire features that feel like a natural extension of your landscape. Understanding the cost is a helpful first step as you begin planning your project.
A fire feature is any built element designed to safely contain and display fire in your outdoor space. These can range from simple setups to more permanent structures that become the focal point of your yard.
Fire features are often integrated into patios, seating areas, or outdoor living spaces to create a comfortable place to relax and gather.
There are several options to consider depending on your style, space, and how you plan to use it.
Fire Pits
Fire pits are a popular and versatile option. They can be wood burning or gas powered and are typically designed for casual seating and gathering.
Outdoor Fireplaces
Outdoor fireplaces offer a more structured and permanent look. They provide a stronger visual focal point and can help direct heat outward, making them a great choice for larger seating areas.
Gas Fire Features
Gas fire features provide convenience and control. With the ability to turn the flame on and off easily, they are a low maintenance option that still delivers a clean and modern look.
Custom Fire Features
Custom designs can be built to match your space exactly. These may include built in seating, integration with patios, or unique shapes and materials that reflect your style.
Fire features do more than add warmth. They enhance how your outdoor space feels and functions.
Creates a gathering space
Encourages people to spend more time outside together.
Extends outdoor use
Makes your space comfortable during cooler evenings.
Adds visual impact
Creates a strong focal point within your landscape.
Increases property appeal

Enhances overall design

Fire feature costs can vary depending on several factors:
Type of feature
Fire pits are typically more affordable, while fireplaces require more materials and labor.
Fuel source
Gas systems may require additional installation for lines and connections.
Size and design
Larger or more detailed features increase both material and labor costs.
Material selection
Stone, brick, and premium finishes can raise the overall investment.
Site preparation
Leveling, base work, and integration with existing features can impact pricing.
Every project is different, but here are general ranges to help guide your expectations:
Simple installations fall on the lower end, while larger and more customized features will require a higher investment.
The right fire feature depends on how you plan to use your space.
If you want something casual and flexible, a fire pit is a great choice. If you are looking for a more defined and permanent focal point, an outdoor fireplace may be the better option. Gas features are ideal for convenience, while wood burning options offer a more traditional experience.
At Georgian Landscape Design, we design fire features as part of a complete outdoor experience. The goal is to create a space that feels natural, functional, and inviting.
We consider layout, materials, and how the feature will be used so it fits seamlessly into your landscape and enhances your outdoor living space.
Fire feature costs can vary based on the type of installation, materials, and the unique conditions of your property, but having a general idea is a great place to start. It helps you set expectations, explore your options, and plan your investment with confidence. That said, every project is different, and the most accurate way to understand your cost is to have an expert evaluate your space in person. A professional can factor in layout, fuel type, and material selection to provide a tailored solution that fits your vision and performs well over time.
