Stone & Brick Fire Pits and Fireplaces

Few things bring people together like a fire. A fire pit or outdoor fireplace gives your patio a natural center, a place to slow down, share stories, and enjoy our cooler evenings. Built from stone and brick, a masonry fire feature is safe, solid, and made to last.

We design each fire feature to match your space and how you like to gather. A low fire pit ringed with seating suits casual nights, while a tall fireplace adds a striking focal point and a bit of shelter from the wind. We handle the materials, the fuel setup, and the safe placement so you can simply enjoy the flames.

STONE AND BRICK FIRE FEATURES BUILT FOR CENTRAL TEXAS

At 512 Luxury Landscape Design, we build custom masonry fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that give Austin homeowners a cozy place to gather after the sun goes down. Using stone, brick, and fire-rated materials, we craft features that are safe to use and built to last through many seasons. From a round fire pit at the center of a patio to a full fireplace with a chimney, every feature is designed around your space and your style.

Our Fire Feature Build Process

We start by choosing a safe, well-placed spot with proper clearance from your home and any trees. Then we pour a stable footing, build the structure with fire-rated brick and block, and finish it with stone or brick veneer. For gas units, we set the burner, gas line, and ignition. For wood pits, we add the right liner and airflow so the fire burns clean and stays contained.

  • Safe placement with proper clearance and airflow
  • Stable footing built to carry the weight of masonry
  • Fire-rated brick and block for safe, lasting heat resistance
  • Stone or brick veneer that matches your patio and home
  • Gas burner installation or wood-burning setup, your choice

Gas or Wood, and What Burn Bans Mean in Austin

Central Texas sees dry spells, and counties often put burn bans in place during them. Wood-burning fire pits are usually restricted during a ban, while many gas-fueled features stay allowed. If you want to use your fire feature year round, a gas burner is the more reliable choice. If you love the crackle of real wood, we build that too and place it for safe use. We will walk you through the trade-offs.

Steel and Corten Fire Features

Stone and brick give a solid, timeless look that ties into patios and seating walls. If you prefer a modern metal bowl or a sleek custom design, our welding team builds steel fire features in-house. Steel gives you shapes that masonry cannot, from round bowls to sculptural pits with clean lines. Masonry offers mass and a built-in feel, while steel offers clean lines and a lighter footprint. We can also combine a steel insert with a stone surround.

  • Round and square steel fire bowls in a range of sizes
  • Gas fire features with burner pans, lava rock, or fire glass
  • Steel fireplace surrounds and inserts for an outdoor hearth
  • Corten steel pieces that form a stable, rust-colored patina on purpose

We use thick steel that handles repeated heat without warping, and we weld the seams clean. Painted or coated bowls get high-heat finishes rated for fire. Removable screens and covers protect the feature between uses. See more of our welding and steel fabrication work.

Materials and Design Options

Choose native limestone, stacked stone, or brick to match your home and hardscape. A fire pit can be round or square, raised or set low, with a cap wide enough to rest a drink. An outdoor fireplace can include a hearth, a wood box, and a tall chimney that anchors one side of the patio. We can also pair the feature with a seating wall so the whole area works as one gathering space.

Built for Central Texas

Why Austin's Climate and Burn Rules Shape Every Fire Feature We Build

Central Texas has an unusually long fire season. Mild winters mean you can sit by a fire pit in February, and pleasant fall evenings stretch from October into December. That also means fire features get used a lot and need to be built to last. At the same time, dry summers and drought conditions trigger county burn bans that affect wood-burning features, which is something we always discuss before you choose a fuel type.

  • Burn ban awareness in Travis, Hays, Williamson, and surrounding counties where restrictions on open wood burning apply during dry conditions.
  • Gas fire features that remain usable through most burn bans, giving year-round function even in drought periods.
  • Fire-rated masonry materials chosen to handle the thermal expansion and heat cycles that come with repeated use in our climate.
  • Safe placement distances from structures and trees, which require more thought in Austin's oak-heavy neighborhoods.
  • We build fire pits and fireplaces for homeowners in Austin, Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Georgetown, and Leander.

Questions & Answers

Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces FAQs

  • Should I choose a gas or wood-burning fire pit?

    Gas fire features turn on with a switch, burn clean, and are easy to use during a burn ban. Wood-burning pits give you a true campfire feel and crackle. We build both and help you weigh convenience against the classic fire experience.

  • Are fire pits affected by Austin burn bans?

    Wood-burning fire pits are usually restricted during a county burn ban, while many gas-fueled fire features are allowed. Rules change with conditions, so we recommend a gas option if you want to use your fire feature during dry spells.

  • How far should a fire pit be from the house?

    A fire pit should sit a safe distance from the house, structures, and overhanging branches. We plan placement for safe clearance and good airflow while keeping it close enough to the patio for easy gathering.

  • Should I choose a steel fire pit or a masonry one?

    Steel gives you sleek bowls, sculptural shapes, and a modern look, and it goes in faster. Stone and brick fire features have a heavier, built-in feel. We build both, and we can also combine a steel insert with a stone surround.

  • Will a steel fire pit rust?

    All steel develops some patina around a fire, and that is part of the look for many designs. We build with thick steel that lasts for years even with the heat, and we offer Corten steel, which forms a stable rust-colored surface on purpose. For painted or coated bowls, we use high-heat finishes rated for fire.
