Warm Up Your Winter Yard: 5 Fire Pit Design Ideas

You don’t have to stay indoors all winter; enjoy those milder Northern Virginia winter evenings, gathering around a toasty new fire pit. AllGreen Landscape Co. specializes in fire pit design and installation and can help you choose a design you’ll love:

1. Round in the Ground

You can choose many variations on this theme where you install a round-shaped firepit in the ground. What you encircle it with is up to you: Line it with various styles of stone or brick and create circular or swirl patterns in the brick or stone surrounding it where you gather the outdoor furniture.

2. Above Ground Bowl-Shaped Fire Pit

Instead of digging your fire pit into the ground, you can have a large, sturdy bowl-shaped firepit installed above ground. There are many variations from lava rock and stone to cement and metal. Unlike the round-in-the-ground fire pits, you won’t have to bend down so far to clean them out.

3. Raised-Stone or Brick Fire Pit

This sturdy design uses a stone or brick base that emerges from the ground for an above-ground fire pit. It can be built into any shape from circular or oval to square or rectangular, depending on the design you want and the number of people you want to gather around for roasting marshmallows.

4. Lantern-Like Raised Metal Fire Pit

If your yard is situated where it’s particularly windy, there are several wonderful metal, lantern-like fire pit designs that you can install in the backyard. They have glass and metal work enclosures that keep sparks and smoke from getting carried away on the wind.

5 Natural Gas or Liquid Propane Fire

Not all fire pits need to use firewood. These natural gas or liquid propane-powered fire pits usually have a metal base and can be filled with gorgeous colored fire glass that pops as a beautiful focal point.
