Add Warmth and Gathering Space Outside

Custom fire pit design and installation in Knoxville, built for safe, comfortable use in your backyard or patio area.

A fire pit gives you a central gathering spot in Knoxville where you can sit outside on cool evenings without huddling around a portable heater or dragging chairs across the yard. You get a permanent structure with seating arranged around it, a controlled burn area that keeps embers from blowing into the grass, and a space that works for small groups or larger gatherings. Fire pits can be wood-burning or gas-fed, built into the ground or raised above grade, and finished with stone, brick, or metal depending on the look and function you want.

Each fire pit is built with proper ventilation, drainage, and clearance from structures and plants. You receive a finished feature that fits your yard and meets local fire codes.

How Fire Pits Are Built for Long-Term Use

Fire pit installation in Knoxville starts with selecting a location that is level, away from overhanging branches, and at least ten feet from any structure. A hole is dug for in-ground pits or a gravel base is laid for raised designs. If you are adding a gas fire pit, a trench is dug for the gas line, which is run from your home's supply and tested for leaks before the pit is finished.

Once the base is ready, the fire ring or burner is set in place, and the surround is built using stone, pavers, or firebrick. You will see clean mortar joints, a level seating wall or cap if included, and a finished pit that does not wobble or shift when you add wood or adjust the flame. Gas pits include a control valve and ignition system, while wood-burning pits have a metal liner or fire-rated insert.

The installation does not include seating, landscaping around the pit, or firewood storage, but it leaves you with a functional fire feature ready for use. Wood-burning pits need ash removal and occasional cleaning. Gas pits require annual inspections of the burner and gas line to ensure safe operation.
