A stone fire pit extends your outdoor season well into the fall and gives family and friends a natural place to gather. StoneForge Paving & Masonry builds custom wood-burning and gas fire pits in natural stone and segmental block, with fire-rated liners and finished caps.
A built-in masonry fire pit is safer and far more durable than a portable unit, with a proper fire-rated liner and a solid base. It becomes a focal point for your patio and pairs naturally with seating walls and lighting.
We build fire pits in Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk. Most are part of a paver patio or bluestone patio, often surrounded by seating walls.
Choose round or square designs, wood-burning or gas-fired, with natural stone, block or brick walls and bluestone or precast caps.
Cost depends on the size and shape, the wall and cap materials, wood or gas fuel (gas lines are run by licensed trades), and any patio or seating built around it. Local fire and setback rules apply, and we will advise during the estimate.
We position the fire pit for safety, views and comfortable seating.
Questions to consider before adding a built-in fire pit.
Local fire codes set minimum distances, and they vary by town. We confirm the requirements for your property and position the fire pit accordingly.
An interior of about three feet across suits most backyards and leaves room for several people to sit comfortably around it.
It is easier to plan for gas from the start. We can leave a sleeve in place so a licensed installer can add a gas line later.
A fire pit on a stone or paver surface is safer and cleaner than one surrounded by grass, and it is easier to arrange seating around.
Remove ash regularly, keep it covered when not in use and check the cap and liner each spring.
