Fire Pits & Fire Features
Custom-built fire pits and fire features: the centerpiece of a great outdoor space, built in stone and block to match your patio.
Custom fire pits that anchor the backyard
A fire feature turns an ordinary patio into a destination, the spot everyone gathers around once the sun goes down. Mex Landscaping designs and builds custom fire pits and fire features for homes across Norristown and the Main Line. These are not drop-in kits; we build permanent, custom features in stone, block, and brick, sized and finished to match your patio and the way you want to use the space.
Wood-burning and gas fire features
We build both wood-burning and gas fire features, and the right choice comes down to how you like to use it. Wood-burning pits deliver the classic crackle, aroma, and bigger flame that many people love. Gas fire pits and fireplaces light instantly, burn cleanly, and shut off with a switch, which makes them effortless for a quick evening outside. We will walk you through the trade-offs and handle the gas line where one is needed.
In-ground pits, built-up features, and fireplaces
From a simple in-ground fire pit to a built-up circular feature with a sitting ledge to a full outdoor fireplace, we build the format that fits your space. We match the stone, block, or brick to your patio and surrounding hardscape so the feature looks original to the design rather than added on afterward, and we can pair it with a surrounding seating wall for built-in seating.
Built safely, sited correctly
A fire feature has to be built right to be enjoyed without worry. We handle proper siting and clearances from the house and plantings, fire-rated materials and liners, drainage so the pit does not hold water, and code-aware gas work where applicable. Done correctly, your fire feature is as safe as it is beautiful, and it pairs naturally with seating walls, patio lighting, and the rest of your outdoor space.

Fire Pits & Fire Features FAQs
Should I get a wood-burning or gas fire pit?
It comes down to how you will use it. Wood-burning gives you the traditional crackle, scent, and larger flame, but takes fuel, tending, and cleanup. Gas lights instantly, burns clean, and turns off with a switch, which makes it far more convenient for spur-of-the-moment evenings. We build both and will help you choose based on your habits and the space.
How much does a custom fire pit cost?
A simple in-ground wood-burning pit is the most affordable option, while a built-up gas feature or full outdoor fireplace with a gas line and matching stonework costs more. Pricing depends on size, materials, and whether gas needs to be run. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate after seeing your space.
Can you add a fire pit to my existing patio?
Usually, yes. We assess your patio and its base, then build the fire feature so it integrates with the existing hardscape and drainage. If gas is involved, we coordinate the line. If the patio needs reinforcement to carry a built-up feature, we will tell you up front.
Are custom-built fire pits safe near the house?
When they are built and sited correctly, yes. We follow proper clearances from structures and plantings, use fire-rated materials and liners, build in drainage, and keep gas work code-aware. Correct siting and materials are exactly what makes the difference between a safe permanent feature and a hazard.
Can a fire pit include built-in seating?
Yes. A seating wall built around the fire feature is one of the most popular combinations we install. It rings the fire with permanent seating, defines the space, and adds capacity without filling the patio with furniture. We design the two together so the proportions and materials match.
