Custom Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces in Upper Arlington
Make the evening gathering area part of your backyard plan. Flores designs and builds fire pits, outdoor fireplaces and gas fire features around the seating, patio and experience you want.
Outdoor living inspiration
Designed for your evenings
Start with the way you want to gather
A fire pit invites seating around a shared center. An outdoor fireplace provides a stronger architectural focal point. Compare where people will sit, what they will see from the house and how they will move around the gathering area before choosing a style.
Decide how you want to use the feature: a short evening outside, conversations after dinner or a traditional wood-fire experience. Fuel, location and surrounding hardscapes should be discussed together rather than added after the patio is finished.
Local project evidence
A real Upper Arlington fireside gathering space
Upper Arlington Fireside Patio
A custom gas fire pit built from dimensional stone, with a flame ring and fire glass, forms the centerpiece of this completed paver patio. Steps, retaining walls and landscape beds connect the feature with the rest of the yard.
Use the project to discuss the relationship between the fire feature, chairs and walking routes. Your property needs its own plan for placement, utilities and the selected equipment.

Outdoor fireplaces
Compare a larger architectural focal point with a lower fire pit and the seating each supports.
Linear gas features
Explore an elongated feature when the patio layout calls for a defined edge or contemporary focal point.
Stone, brick and veneer
Choose finishes as part of the larger hardscape and architecture rather than from one sample alone.
Seating and surrounding pavers
Resolve chair placement, open routes and any seat walls with the feature footprint.
Fuel and supporting work

Your preferences
Gas or wood: compare the ownership experience
Gas fire features
Gas offers quick operation and avoids firewood storage and ash cleanup. The plan needs to address the selected equipment, fuel supply and qualified installation work.
Wood-burning features
Wood provides the traditional experience of tending a fire. Discuss storage, cleanup, smoke and the applicable property rules before deciding it fits your yard and routine.
Before installation
Plan placement and approvals before construction
Give the seating and routes room
Bring a sketch of the patio, doors, planting and any covered structure. Discuss the equipment’s specified clearances, nearby materials, utilities and installation requirements before finalizing placement. No single spacing rule fits every product or property.
Confirm the actual project requirements
Check the property jurisdiction and ask the responsible authority about the proposed fire feature, gas work and any related structures. A backyard photo or another project’s approval does not establish the requirements for your home.
