Fire Pits are one of the most popular hardscaping elements homeowners enjoy today. They can add a visually stunning focal point to your outdoor space and create a great place to gather, relax, and entertain. They add warmth, functionality, and cozy ambiance in a way that only a fire element can. From a quiet evening gathering toasting s'mores to a big celebratory event, nothing compares to having one.
They even add significant value to your home and provide an excellent return on investment. They can be wood-burning, pellet-burning, or gas-burning. They may be large or small, raised or flush to the ground, and constructed in a variety of shapes (although the most popular form is round). They can also be easily adapted to complement existing patios and walkways. They are often made of pre-cast concrete, metal, or stone or combine all three elements. Design-wise, there are many options and configurations to choose from, making it very easy to choose the one that suits your unique style. A professional installer can assist you with safety and permit requirements and help you pick out the ideal complementary materials for your home.
A firepit is a great way to bring people outdoors to enjoy the night sky's calm. Whether hosting a small party, allowing an outdoor space for guests to relax outside your business, having a corporate event, or snuggling up next to your loved ones, they serve as the perfect centerpiece to huddle around. One of the things that makes them such an excellent investment is that they can be used year-round. You can roast marshmallows over the fire or use it as a grill by merely placing a metal rack over it in the summer. The fire also helps keep pesky bugs away. Cozy up next to the fire's warmth in the winter and delight in the beautiful flames licking the cool air.
If you're thinking about getting one, you'll need to consider whether you'd prefer a wood-burning or gas version; each has its merits. Wood-burning fire pits are a bit less expensive and are quicker to install. However, they require more work to keep them burning. They give off a smoky smell that can remain on clothing, and they need to be cleaned more frequently. As for propane, they are quicker to light, don't require as much attention once they're going, are cheaper to fuel, and are more environmentally friendly. They are more costly and cannot be installed quite as fast.
You can also include other accessories, such as reflective glass that can decorate the inside area the flames dance around. You can choose different colors or styles to complement the rest of your landscape and best reflect the ambiance you hope to achieve. Professionals like Fullscapes can craft it so that you can adjust the inside decorations, periodically changing the glass or stones you have inside it.
They are an addition that significantly changes the feeling your landscape evokes. They also offer a considerable return on investment. Even though the pricing varies fairly widely, CBS News reports they get back a clear 78% ROI. That value doesn't depreciate, either, so when the time comes to sell the property, you can still get back a substantial amount of the money you paid for it. Showing off the fire pit to potential buyers will also make a memorable sales pitch. If you're installing one solely for yourself, the value you get from the joy it brings vastly outweighs the cost.
