Custom Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces in Columbus, Ohio
Flores designs and builds custom fire pits, outdoor fireplaces and gas fire features for Columbus-area homes. Start with the patio and seating you already use, then plan a feature that adds a comfortable gathering point.
Outdoor living inspiration
Designed for the way you gather
Add a gathering point to an existing patio
A fire feature should improve the evening layout without turning the route from the house into a narrow passage. Sketch the table, grill, lounge chairs and doors before deciding where the new focal point belongs.
For an existing patio, bring photographs of the surface and its edges. We discuss what can remain, what supporting hardscape work is needed and how the selected equipment and fuel would be installed. The assessment defines the actual retrofit scope.

Upper Arlington Fireside Patio
This Upper Arlington project includes a custom gas fire pit built from dimensional stone, with a flame ring and fire glass, as the centerpiece of a paver patio. Steps, retaining walls and landscape beds connect the gathering area with the yard.
Discuss the details you like, then compare the seating, site conditions and selected equipment for your own home.

The ownership experience
Choose gas or wood around your routine
Gas fire features
Gas offers quick operation without firewood storage or ash cleanup. Discuss the selected equipment, fuel supply and qualified installation work as part of the full scope.
Wood-burning features
Wood provides the traditional experience of tending a fire. Consider storage, cleanup, smoke and applicable property rules before deciding it fits your yard and routine.
Before construction
Plan the site and review path first
Keep the useful parts of your patio
Review the existing surface, access and proposed feature together. An estimate for a fire feature may also include supporting pavers or utility work; compare those items explicitly instead of treating a retrofit as a standard package.
Confirm the selected equipment’s installation and operating requirements, specified clearances and suitability for surrounding materials. Placement must be assessed for the actual product and property.
Confirm the responsible authority
Columbus provides Building and Zoning Services resources, but a Columbus mailing address does not by itself confirm municipal jurisdiction. Establish the property’s authority and ask about the actual utility, structural and site work proposed. Do not assume one citywide approval or price fits every fire-feature project.

Helpful answers
Columbus fire-feature questions
Can you add a fire pit to an existing Columbus patio?
We can assess the patio, equipment, fuel and supporting work. Suitability depends on the actual surface, layout and installation requirements, so bring photos and measurements.
Should the fire feature replace my dining area?
It does not have to. Compare a separate gathering zone with a shared furniture layout, keeping the house-to-yard route clear in either option.
What affects the cost of a Columbus fire-feature project?
Feature type, equipment, fuel, dimensions, finishes, utilities, construction access and supporting hardscape work influence the estimate. A free assessment helps define the scope for your home.
