Create Magical Gathering Spaces with Custom Fire Pit Installations in Iowa

There’s something about fire that never gets old. The glow, the warmth, the way people seem to drift toward it. In Iowa, where evenings can cool down even in the middle of summer, having a firepit in the backyard isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about actually enjoying your space more often. 

 

We build custom firepit installations in Iowa - simple, practical, and tailored. Whether you lean toward a modern gas setup or the raw charm of a wood-burning fire pit, we can make it fit right into your yard. 

Gas or Wood - Two Very Different Feels

Not everyone wants the same firepit, and that’s the point. Both options can be customized - size, shape, stonework - whatever flows with your space. 

Gas Firepits

Flip a switch and you’ve got instant flames. No hauling wood, no smoke. Great for folks who host often or want something that works every time without hassle.

Wood Burning Firepits

Smoke, crackle, the shifting light - it’s the traditional campfire vibe, only steps back from your door. Messier than gas, sure, but some people wouldn’t trade that real-wood feel for anything.

How we plan & Build Your Firepit?

Every project starts with a simple 2D layout - it helps us figure out the right size, shape, and spot for your firepit so it looks natural in your yard and, more importantly, stays safe. Think of it as a little blueprint for comfort and peace of mind. 

Firepit choices you can make:

Gas Firepits

Instant flame, clean, easy to switch on when friends come over.

Wood-burning Firepits

smoke, crackle, and that backyard-campfire feeling you can’t fake.

Custom Seating Setups

we can build sitting walls or design a layout that makes people want to stay a while.

Built-in Safety Details

clearances, airflow, all the practical stuff that keeps it worry-free.

And because we’re in Iowa, every fire feature is built to handle the freeze-thaw, the storms, the seasons. The end result? A firepit that’s not just pretty, but one that actually works with how you like to spend time outdoors. 

How We Build Custom Fireplaces

Inspection

First step is checking where the fire pit should be placed. Safe distance from structures, airflow, seating place, all that.

Design Ideas

We sketch out what it’ll look like - sometimes just a 2D plan so you can picture it. Add seating walls, stone choices, whatever details you want.

Choose Materials

Stone, block, paver, smooth modern finishes. We’ll point you to options that stand up to Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Installation

For gas, that means safe line work and ignition. For wood, it’s about drainage, foundation, and making sure it lasts.

Finishing

We clean it up, blend it into your patio or yard, and make sure it looks like it’s always been there.

FAQs

  • 1. Is gas better than wood?

    Depends. Gas is quick and clean, wood is rustic and real. It’s about what matters more to you. 

  • 2. How much does it cost?

    Simple builds stay on the lower end, and custom stone features run higher. We give you a clear price before we start. 

  • 3. Are firepits safe?

    When built right, yes. We follow code and safe practices, especially with gas.
