Why You Need Professional Fire Pit Contractors

While there are many do-it-yourself options available for fire pits, the fact is that professionally built fire pits will last longer and can be tailored to your overall landscape design. Working with gas lines can be dangerous if you are inexperienced with them, and it is also intricate work. So, while it is important for your fire pit to look stunning, it is also vital to make sure the entire structure is built safely and correctly.

Why an outdoor kitchen?

Fire pits offer many different benefits to home and business owners. Learn about how a fire pit could change the look and feel of your outdoor space:

Materials Used to Build Fire Pits

There are many types of durable, long-lasting materials that are used to build fire pits. Keep in mind, whatever material you want to use has to be fire-resistant. At Ware Landscaping, our fire pit experts use several different materials to create these custom fire features, such as:

Concrete block
Stacked stone
Natural stone
Metal
Glass

If there is a certain look and feel you want for your fire pit – i.e., your home has a modern feel to it, and you want the fire pit to mirror that – our landscape designers can plan that out for you. Fire pits can be made in any shape, but the common shapes are square, circular, or rectangular.
As far as the dimensions of your fire pit, they can also be any size, but typically smaller properties need one that is about three feet in diameter, while larger properties may best benefit from one that is six feet in diameter. If you want a larger fire pit or more than one located throughout your space, our designers can advise you on various options.

Gas-Burning vs. Wood-Burning Fire Pits

Another thing you’ll need to consider when creating your new fire pit is whether you want a gas-burning or wood-burning fire pit. Both have pros and cons to them, and if you are unsure which one to choose, our hardscape experts will discuss it with you to help determine which may be the best choice for you.

If your main goal is ambiance and visual effects, then you may want to consider gas-burning fire pits. With a gas-burning fire pit, you will not have to worry about smoke from the fire blowing into anyone’s face, and cleanup is minimal – simply turn off the gas when you are done using it, and the fire will disappear. These types of fire pits are also more environmentally friendly than wood-burning options, as they emit barely any emissions into the air. However, they do take more time to install and will cost more. You also will need to consider the addition to your gas bill for using it.

The draw of a wood-burning fire pit is tough to deny, as many of us love that traditional campfire feel. These fire pits are also a more economical choice if you are working on a tight budget for your project. Keep in mind, they will need to be cleaned out more than a gas-burning fire pit will. An added bonus from wood-burning fires is that the smoke is likely to drive away outdoor pests, such as mosquitoes that could ruin an otherwise enjoyable evening.

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

Michael Swider

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.

FAQs

Is a built-in outdoor kitchen worth it?

Investing in an outdoor kitchen can result in a 70% ROI when it comes time to sell your home. You shouldn’t just build an outdoor kitchen for the resale value, however. You should build one so you and your family can enjoy spending time eating and socializing outside.

Listing your home at a higher price when you sell is nice, but think about all the years of memories and good times ahead of you if you’re considering adding an outdoor kitchen to your Naperville property.

Are outdoor kitchens still popular?

Outdoor kitchens became extremely popular during the COVID-19 pandemic because people were spending more time at home and there was a desire to prepare and eat food in more open spaces to help slow the spread of the virus.

Although people don’t stay home as much as they did during the pandemic, outdoor kitchens are still going strong. Many people invest in them because they want to extend the livable space on their property and spend more time outdoors in the fresh air.

Do outdoor kitchens last?

Outdoor kitchens can last up to 20 years if they’re maintained properly. If you clean your outdoor kitchen countertops, grill, and other cooking surfaces and appliances regularly, you can lengthen the life of your outdoor kitchen. It’s also important to hire an outdoor kitchen expert who knows what they’re doing when they install it.

How long What is the average cost of an outdoor kitchen? sod installation take?

The average cost of building an outdoor kitchen from scratch is about $15,000. However, the cost varies significantly depending on what’s included in your project. Adding a simple cooking area next to your patio will be far less expensive than building a deluxe, fully-functional kitchen and living space to your backyard.
