We Create Stunning Fire Pits
Create a beautiful entertaining space
A backyard fire pit is an excellent spot to chill and entertain friends. It's a great way to increase the value of your property and make an aesthetic statement in your yard and outdoor living space.
If you are considering paver fire pit installation, there are a few things that will affect the price of your project including the size and shape of your patio, the type of pavers/ wall blocks used (thin vs thick), and whether you want a natural or artificial firepit. Winter Park pavers specialist are here to aid in this regard.
When designing your paver patio area, remember to account for safe distance for all structures on your property- this includes bushes, trees, etc. You don't want sparks and flames flying into any delicate branches! If choosing artificial turf for your outdoor space instead of pavers, be sure to factor in the installation cost and time.
Beautiful fire pits
When it comes to choosing the type of fire pit for your paver patio, there are a few things to consider.
Thin pavers: These pavers will be placed near the ground or under low-hanging tree limbs. They can be easily moved and cleaned, making them a good choice if you plan on hosting frequent parties.
Thick pavers: Pavers made from thick brick-like materials tend to appear more natural and may be preferred by some homeowners for exclusive aesthetic statement in their outdoor fireplace. Thick paver installations may require more time and effort to install, so be sure to factor that into your budget.
Components and steps for fire pit installation
The components and steps for firepit installation are given below:
Excavate about 10 to 12 inches deep, make the surface leveled.
The base of your fire pit is key - it needs to be sturdy and weatherproof. The diameter of the opening, and material you'd like it made out of (concrete, gravel, or another type of substrate) is needed.
Place the edging restraints around the perimeter and secure them into the ground with hammer. Pour 1 or 2 inches layers of paver sand/gravel.
Tamp the surface with a plate compactor into the sand bed and lay pavers.
Sweep polymeric sand with a broom and glue the blocks one by one with fire-proof mortar.
Tips for installing a fire pit
When it comes to installing a fire pit, here are a few tips:
1. Choose the right location for your fire pit- make sure there is enough room on your patio area and around all trees and other structures before starting construction. Always check with local codes before beginning work!
2. Decide on the size of paver- most fire pits seating up to 4 people require thin pavers; those that can accommodate 6 or more guests will need thicker pavers.
3. Install paver fire pits using a proper waterproofing and sealing process- this will protect your surfaces from water damage in case of rain or accidental spills, and also keep the pavers looking new for years to come!
