Can I add a firepit to an existing patio?

Yes — a standalone firepit or seating wall can usually be added to an existing patio without redoing the whole space, as long as the surrounding base can support the additional footing.

What's the difference between a firepit and an outdoor fireplace?

A firepit is typically a lower, open feature for a seating area; an outdoor fireplace includes a vertical structure, often with a mantle, that functions more like an outdoor room anchor. Both use fire-rated materials and proper clearances.

Do you install gas firepits or only wood-burning?

We build both — gas line coordination is part of the process if you want a gas firepit or fireplace instead of wood-burning.
