Fire pits offer a warm and inviting ambience that encourages relaxation and conversation.
Fire pits can bring landscaping designs together by serving as a strong focal point.

Fire Pit Location and Safety

When deciding on a location for your fire pit, make sure to choose an open area without an overhang. The fire pit should also be far enough away from the house and other structures on your property to not pose a fire risk.

The best way to ensure that your fire pit is safe to use is to have it professionally installed. Backes Landscaping guarantees that all of our fire pits in Fort Collins adhere to safety rules and regulations, providing you with peace of mind.

Choosing a Fire Pit Design

Fire pits come in a number of designs to suit your landscaping and entertainment needs. Here are three factors to consider when choosing a fire pit for your backyard.

Shape: While most fire pits are round, square and rectangular designs can also be a good option. Custom fire pits can take just about any shape you want.
Size: The ideal fire pit size depends on how much available space you have and how many people you want to seat around it. It should also strike the right balance with your landscaping and outdoor furniture.
Height: A fire pit should be high enough to keep logs and embers contained but not so tall that you have to lean in too close to enjoy it. Ten to twelve inches is usually ideal.

The experienced landscapers at Backes Landscaping can give you more tips on the right shape, size, and height for your fire pit.
