Our Fire Pit & Fireplace Services
Custom Fire Pits
From rustic natural stone fire pits to sleek modern gas fire bowls, we build every style. Our custom fire pits are constructed with premium materials — including natural stone, Techo-Bloc pavers, Unilock products, granite, and armour stone — and are engineered to last through Ontario’s harsh winters. Whether you want a simple round fire pit surrounded by Muskoka chairs or an elaborate sunken fire pit with built-in seating walls, we handle every detail from design through construction.
Outdoor Fireplaces
An outdoor fireplace makes a bold architectural statement. We build freestanding and wall-integrated fireplaces using natural stone, cultured stone, brick, and custom masonry. Many of our clients pair their fireplace with a covered patio or pergola to create a true outdoor living room. We offer both wood-burning and natural gas options to suit your lifestyle and local bylaws.
Fire Tables & Fire Bowls
For a more contemporary look, our custom fire tables and fire bowls add warmth and style to any patio or deck. These gas-powered features are low-maintenance, easy to use, and available in a wide range of finishes — from polished concrete to natural stone tops.
Complete Outdoor Living Packages
A fire pit or fireplace is often just one piece of the puzzle. We frequently integrate fire features into larger outdoor living projects that include patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, water features, and landscape lighting. Our design-build approach means one team handles everything — no subcontractors, no finger-pointing, just a seamless result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Pits & Fireplaces
How much does a custom fire pit cost?
Custom fire pits typically range from $3,000 to $15,000+ depending on size, materials, and complexity. A simple round stone fire pit starts at the lower end, while a large sunken fire pit with built-in seating walls and gas hookup will be at the higher end. We provide detailed quotes after an on-site consultation so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit for a fire pit in Hamilton?
In most cases, a basic backyard fire pit does not require a building permit in Hamilton, Burlington, or surrounding municipalities. However, gas-line installations and larger outdoor fireplaces may require permits and inspections. We handle all permit requirements as part of our service so you don’t have to worry about compliance.
Gas or wood-burning — which is better?
Gas fire pits are convenient (push-button start, no smoke, no cleanup) and work well in covered or semi-enclosed spaces. Wood-burning fire pits offer the authentic experience — the crackle, the aroma, the tradition. Many of our clients choose gas for everyday use and keep a separate wood-burning option for special occasions. We’ll help you decide based on your lifestyle, budget, and local bylaws.
Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio?
Absolutely. We regularly retrofit fire pits and fireplaces into existing patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces. Whether your patio is concrete, interlock, or natural stone, we can design a fire feature that integrates seamlessly with your current setup.
How long does it take to build a fire pit?
A standard fire pit installation takes 2–5 days depending on complexity. Larger projects that include seating walls, patios, or gas lines may take 1–2 weeks. We provide a clear timeline during the quoting process.
