Install a Firepit in Your Phoenix Backyard

Phoenix is known for being hot and dry, which means people have plenty of heat and sun during the summer days.

At night and during the winter, though, time spent out in the yard can get a bit chilly. Even before the cold starts to creep in and you want the added warmth, there is something so visually satisfying about the dancing flames. There is something primal about gathering with friends or family around a fire and gazing into the flames.

Fire pits naturally lend themselves to circular seating arrangements, too, which makes it that much easier to exchange stories, jokes, and heartfelt conversation.

How to Design a Firepit for Your Yard

Investing in a fire pit for your yard is a great way to revamp the yard and potentially add resale value to the home. It creates an immediate focal point for your outdoor settings, and the type of fire pit you select can have a big impact on the overall aesthetic tone of your outdoor living space.

To make sure you’re building the best fire pit for your home, we normally recommend considering the following characteristics, among others:

• Size – First, consider how big you want the overall footprint of your firepit to be. Do you want a smaller one so you can build fires without taking up too much space, or a larger one to fit a lot of people around the edges?
• Shape – As you consider the size, you can also consider the shape. Some yards are suited for a circular firepit or a square, while a longer rectangle might be better for other yards.
• Materials – At this point, we recommend choosing material and color that complements your home as well as the rest of your yard.
