Fire features
Fire pits and fire features for long Florida evenings
Fire pulls people outside, even on a mild January night. We design fire pits, fire bowls and linear fire features into patios, pool decks and gardens, with the seating, lighting and clearances that make them comfortable and safe.
Warmth and ambiance
The feature people gather around
A fire feature is a destination. Placed well, it anchors a terrace, frames a canal view or glows across the pool. Placed badly, it blows smoke into the lanai. That is why we design it with the space around it.

Fire feature styles
Four ways to bring fire into the landscape
- 01
Fire pit terraces
A circular paver or stone fire pit at the center of a terrace, like this one on a canal.
- 02
Stone fire pits
Stacked stone with a travertine cap on a flagstone patio, a Fort Myers favorite.
- 03
Fire and water bowls
Bowls on a pool wall that alternate fire and water, the most dramatic way to light a pool at night.
- 04
Linear fire features
Long, low flames along a wall or in a table for clean, contemporary spaces.

FAQ
Questions we hear most
Gas or wood-burning: which is better?
Gas is instant, clean and controllable, which is why most homeowners choose it. Wood gives a crackle and smell some people will not give up. We plan gas lines into the hardscape so nothing is trenched later.
Can I have a fire feature in a screened lanai?
It depends on the enclosure, the roof and the feature. Clearances matter, and many linear and tabletop gas features are designed for covered spaces. We will advise what is safe for your lanai.
Do fire features need permits?
Gas connections generally need permitting, and HOAs may have rules on open flames. We design within the requirements that apply to your property.
Can fire and water be combined?
Yes. Fire bowls that spill water into the pool are one of the most striking features you can add to a pool wall, and we design them with your pool and lighting.
