Ten Tips for an Ideal Fire Pit

  • Build your dream, and have a vision. This is your dream outdoor fire pit installation in Silver Spring, and you should take the sky as your limit in your wants and needs. Think big, and scale back as needed to find your ideal design.
  • Design your firepit to accommodate and work with your landscape, not fight it. The sky may be the limit here, but you certainly don’t want to end up with a garish design that sticks out like a sore thumb. Work with the firepit’s surroundings, not against them.
  • Decide if your firepit will be above, or below ground. This choice is partially an aesthetics choice, but many homeowners find below ground fire pits a bit less warm overall, as the ground tends to dampen the heat the pit provides. Keep this in mind in your design!
  • Know your fire pit’s purpose. Planning on some rustic cooking with your outdoor fire pit, or is this an eyes-only installation. The answer can have a lot to do with your overall design and the execution of the build.
  • Take growth into consideration. If you plan on expanding your landscape in the coming years, keep possible changes in mind while you’re designing. You don’t want your fire pit to end up as a nuisance two, three years down the road.
  • Research and choose your materials carefully. Each material carries a unique appearance, and many can alter the function of your pit entirely. Do your homeowner to find the best material for your build.
  • Size your pit according to your needs. Is this a family fire pit, a personal evening escape, or do you plan on hosting parties where your fire pit is the centerpiece?
  • Ensure your fire pit design is safe. Above beauty, above function, above all else is safety! Your wants and needs are important, but please always keep safety in mind when using/building fire pits.
  • Consider expanding to an outdoor kitchen. Fire pits are an excellent addition for your Maryland home, but have you ever considered implementing a full-scale outdoor kitchen? If not, you might find more of what you’re looking for by doing so!
  • Choose the right design team! Your fire pit installation specialists should be many things. They should be professional, certified, experienced, and just as importantly, they should put your wants and needs first and foremost! This is your fire pit, and you deserve to see your vision made into a reality.
