Times have changed, and adding outdoor fire features is a hot addition to any backyard. Where once having a patio and a couple chairs was considered a backyard retreat, to now much more elaborate outdoor living spaces. These outdoor living spaces are an extension of your home and provide additional space to entertain guests or just to spend memorable time with your family.
Fire features like firepits, fireplaces, grills and even outdoor pizza ovens help turn your backyard from drab into a special place the family wants to hang out together. These fire features bring a cozy warmth, are functional, and create an inviting gathering space to any outdoor area.
Firepits are an inviting feature in anyone’s yard, but they are exceptionally popular in northeastern Wisconsin because of the cooler temperatures. Firepits can extend the amount of time families gather together outside. Imagine a crackling fire, marshmallows being toasted into tasty s’mores and the sound of laughter from your family enjoying time spent making memories. Firepits can be built with materials that compliment your home. Brick, natural stone or manufactured pavers can all be used to create a firepit for your backyard enjoyment. They can also be wood-burning or there are gas options with instant ignition if you are looking for a low-maintenance firepit. Whichever you choose, having a firepit professionally installed ensures safety, and that there is proper ventilation and drainage. This is important
Another fire feature option is an outdoor grill. Grills can be built as a standalone or can be incorporated into a full outdoor kitchen bringing outdoor entertainment to you and your guests. Varieties of grills include gas or charcoal and there is even a pellet option depending on how you like to grill. For convenience, gas is the option allowing fast heat-up times. Charcoal and pellet grills can add a smokey flavor to your cooking. Some homeowners go for both options, making their grilling area a focal point. Your outdoor grill can be designed and built to include countertops, storage and even a refrigeration unit. Options are endless.
If an outdoor fireplace is more your style, we can design a customized fireplace that will compliment your home and outdoor space. Your fireplace can be designed to be wood-burning or gas powered. The fireplace itself can be designed with natural stone to withstand the elements. Often fireplaces are built as part of an entire outdoor entertainment space combining an outdoor kitchen with an area to lounge in front of the fireplace. You dream it, we can build it for you.
When professionally installed, any or all of the fire features above add personality to your backyard. Create a space that is truly unique and can be enjoyed all year long making your backyard a destination spot.
