The stone fire pit designs featured here are veritable works of art. Rang- ing from traditional to contemporary in style, each design is unique and distinctive, and bears the stamp of its creator!
Stunning Design Above By California SmartScape
For example, the built-in design at right incorporates a seating area that is perched high on a mountainside overlooking a pristine waterway . . .
. . . . . as does the striking hillside design pictured below by California SmartScape, based in San Diego, California.
Though a number of manufacturers now produce "portable" designs in both
natural
and
manufactured stone
(right) -- some of which can be completed on site by do-it-yourselfers -- the stone fire pit designs that follow are custom tailored for their individual sites. In ad- dition, they reflect the creativity of the designers and stone artisans that crafted them . . . . . . . as well as the tastes and preferences of the home- owners that commissioned them. Pic- tured below, left, is a natural stone de- sign by P.O.P.S. Landscaping of Mariet- ta, Georgia.
The contemporary design pictured at right uses stones of varying heights and thicknesses that have been posi- tioned vertically to create this unique composition.
Conversely, the unusual hand-sculpt- ed fire pit with matching "chairs" in the image that follows looks like some- thing out of the Flintstones! Sculpted by Roger Hopkins of Rocksculptors.com in Southern California, it is just one ex- ample of a large and impressive body of work that includes fountains, sinks, and hot tubs, in addition to fire pits!
The striking design pictured below was crafted using a
dry stone
technique (without mortar).The elaborate, eye-catching stone surround cleverly con- ceals a simple portable fire
pit made of metal that can be removed for easy cleaning and simply dropped back into place.
Unlike the above-ground designs pictured up to this point, the stone fire pit designs at right and below, (with close-up beneath it), have been sunken in the ground.
Though each design incorporates a stone seating
area, the design that follows uses a variety of contrasting stone sizes, types and colors for add- ed interest --
crushed stone for the substrate or base,
flagstone
for walk- ing, and boulders for seating.
Pictured at right is a gas-fueled fire pit that can be safely operated on a wood deck.
And finally, the poolside fire pit pictured below is a great example of the numerous creative options
available in outdoor fire spaces. Designed to look like an active volcano, it adds a dramatic night
time focal point to an equally dramatic backdrop!
