THE NATURAL GATHERING PLACE
A Fire Feature Changes the Way a Backyard Feels
There's something about a fire that naturally pulls people together. It creates a destination in the backyard and gives family and friends a reason to stay outside long after the sun goes down.
But the best fire features are designed as part of the space, not simply added wherever there's room. Placement, seating, fuel type, surrounding hardscape and how people move through the patio all affect the finished result.
Whether you want a simple fire pit for relaxed evenings or a dramatic outdoor fireplace that anchors the entire backyard, we'll help you create a feature that looks intentional and fits the way you want to use the space.
WHAT WE BUILD
Fire Features Designed Around Your Backyard
From a classic fire pit to a large architectural fireplace, the right fire feature depends on your space, style and how you want people to gather around it.
02
Wood-Burning Fire Pits
For homeowners who love the crackle, aroma and experience of a traditional wood fire surrounded by family and friends.
03
Outdoor Fireplaces
A substantial architectural feature that can anchor a patio, define an outdoor room and create a dramatic backdrop for seating.
04
Linear & Modern Fire Features
Long linear burners and contemporary designs create a bold focal point for modern patios, entertaining spaces and outdoor rooms.
PLACEMENT MATTERS
The Best Fire Feature Starts With the Right Location
The fire itself may be the focal point, but the surrounding layout determines whether the space actually works. We plan the feature around seating, circulation, views and the rest of the backyard.
✓
Thoughtful Placement
We consider the relationship between the fire feature, home, patio, seating areas and other outdoor elements.
✓
Fuel Type Planned Early
Gas and wood-burning designs create different experiences and may require different planning, so the decision should be made early in the project.
✓
Comfortable Seating
The size and position of the fire feature should allow people to gather comfortably without dominating the patio.
✓
Designed With the Whole Backyard
Pavers, walls, kitchens, structures, landscaping and lighting can all be coordinated so the fire feature feels like part of one complete space.
MATERIALS & DETAILS
Make the Fire Feature Feel Like Part of the Home
The materials and finishing details can make a fire feature feel traditional, modern, rustic or completely custom.
Stone & Masonry
Natural-looking stone, masonry and wall systems can coordinate the fire feature with the patio and architecture of your home.
Brick & Veneer
Brick and veneer finishes can tie a new fire feature into existing home materials or create a more traditional appearance.
Fire Glass & Media
Gas features can be finished with fire glass or other approved media to create anything from a subtle glow to a dramatic focal point.
Walls & Built-In Seating
Seat walls and surrounding hardscape can define the gathering area while adding practical seating and visual structure.
THINKING BIGGER?
Make the Fire Feature Part of the Entire Outdoor Space
Fire features are often most effective when they're planned alongside the patio, seating, kitchen, structure and lighting. Flores can bring those pieces together into one cohesive backyard.

GAS OR WOOD?
Two Different Ways to Enjoy the Fire
There isn't one right answer. The better choice depends on the experience you want, how often you'll use the feature and how much convenience matters to you.
Gas Fire Features
Gas is popular for convenience and control. There's no firewood to store or ash to clean up, making it easy to enjoy a fire for even a short evening outside.
Wood-Burning Fire Features
Wood provides the traditional crackle, aroma and feel of a real campfire experience. It's a great choice for homeowners who enjoy tending the fire itself.
HOW IT WORKS
From Backyard Idea to Fireside Gathering
You don't need to know the exact size, materials or fuel type before we meet. We'll help you work through those decisions.

2
Plan
We determine placement, size, fuel type, materials and how the feature fits with the surrounding patio.
3
Build
Our team coordinates the hardscape, fire feature and supporting elements needed for the finished space.
4
Gather
Light the fire, pull up a chair and enjoy a backyard that's much harder to leave when the evening gets cool.
FIRE FEATURE QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a gas or wood-burning fire pit?
Gas offers convenience and quick operation, while wood provides the traditional sound, aroma and experience of a real wood fire. Your preferences and the layout of the property can help determine the better fit.
Can you build an outdoor fireplace instead of a fire pit?
Yes. Outdoor fireplaces create a larger architectural focal point and can help define a patio or covered outdoor living area.
Can the fire feature be built with my patio?
Absolutely. Planning the patio and fire feature together often produces the best result because size, placement, utilities, seating and surrounding materials can all be coordinated.
Can you add built-in seating around a fire pit?
Yes. Seat walls and surrounding hardscape can help define the fire area and provide additional seating while complementing the overall patio design.
Can a fire feature be added to an existing patio?
In many cases, yes. We'll need to evaluate the existing patio, available space, fuel requirements and how the new feature will integrate with the current layout.
Can you build a modern linear fire feature?
Yes. Linear gas fire features can create a clean, contemporary focal point and work especially well in larger entertainment spaces and modern backyard designs.
