Extend your outdoor season with stylish, functional heat elements built to last.
Suppose you want to spend more time outside — even when the temperature dips — adding a fire feature to your backyard is one of the best upgrades you can make. From cozy nights with family to hosting friends under the stars, a well-placed fire pit or fireplace transforms your outdoor living space into a true four-season retreat.
At DM Landscaping, we design and build fire features that are safe, beautiful, and built to match your landscape. Here’s what to consider when adding warmth and ambiance to your yard.
Pick the Right Fire Feature for Your Space
Choosing the correct type of fire element depends on how you use your space and the style you’re going for. Each option offers different benefits:
- Fire pits are great for groups, offering 360° seating and casual, campfire-style vibes.
- Outdoor fireplaces create a strong visual focal point and help block wind, which is ideal for more formal settings.
- Fire tables add a modern look and double as functional surfaces for drinks and décor.
We help you select the best option based on layout, wind patterns, and the number of guests you typically entertain.
Built with Safety and Style in Mind
Whether you’re burning wood or using a gas system, safety and durability are key. Our fire features are built using high-quality materials and proper ventilation to ensure long-term, worry-free use.
Popular materials include:
- Natural stone or block for rustic appeal
- Smooth pavers or veneer stone for a modern finish
- Steel or powder-coated elements for sleek contrast
We also integrate seating walls, built-in steps, and surrounding hardscaping to ensure your fire feature feels part of the whole environment, not just an add-on.
Consider Gas vs. Wood-Burning
One of the first decisions you’ll make is fuel type. Here’s a quick comparison:
- Gas: Easy to start, low-maintenance, and smoke-free. Best for convenience and clean aesthetics.
- Wood has a classic look and sound, great heat output, and no utility hookup. It is ideal for traditional backyard atmospheres.
We’ll explain local regulations and help you decide which system best suits your lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and budget.
Extend the Season with Heat & Light
Fire features do more than look great—they also let you enjoy your yard for more months of the year. Pairing your fire pit or fireplace with a pergola, overhead lighting, or a seating area allows you to use your outdoor space well into the evening and the cooler months.
We often pair heating features with:
- Covered patios or pavilions
- Outdoor kitchens and dining areas
- Retaining walls and privacy screens
These design elements combine to create an inviting, year-round backyard experience.
