Stone outdoor fireplace beside a seating area at dusk

Fire pits, fire tables and masonry fireplaces

A stone fire ring starts around $6,000. A full masonry fireplace with a chimney runs up to about $55,000.

What are we building?

Choose a project, then a time for the designer to come out.

Decide how people will sit first. A ring with a seat wall keeps everyone facing in and talking. A tall fireplace makes a wall at one end of the terrace and hides a neighbor’s deck. A gas fire table belongs next to the dining set.

We work out distance from the house and the tree canopy, where a gas line can run and which way the evening breeze usually blows, then build it in stone that matches the rest of the yard.

  1. 1

    Walk the yard

    A designer spends about an hour on site with you, checking grades, soil, sun and where the water runs, and hearing how you want to use the space. The first visit is free.

  2. 2

    Plan at your table

    Right there at your table, the designer sketches the layout to scale, then comes back with a material board of real stone, brick and plant picks you can hold.

  3. 3

    Fixed price

    We adjust the plan until it fits how you live and what you want to spend, then send one fixed price that lists every material and quantity.

  4. 4

    Build and hand-over

    One crew lead runs the job from first stake to last plant, and a photo update lands in your inbox every Friday. Hardscape is covered for 5 years, plants for 1.

Our back lawn used to drain like a bathtub. Thornbury fixed the grade first, then laid the terrace and new sod, and it matches the plan we signed off on at our own table. Same crew every morning, and they swept up before they left.

Nobody could use our hillside. Graham sketched a terrace and a low wall right there on the patio, Luis ran the job, and the photos came every Friday. Three weeks later we were sitting around the fire.

Fire questions

Wood or gas?

Wood smells like a campfire and needs cleaning out. Gas starts with a switch and leaves no ash. Plenty of clients pick wood for the ring and gas for the table.

Will I need a permit?

Some towns and fuel types need one. We check for your address and handle it if so.

What does a fire feature cost?

A stone ring starts around $6,000. Gas tables run higher, and a masonry fireplace with a chimney can reach $55,000.

See where the fire should sit

Your designer walks the terrace with you and marks clearances before anything is priced.
