Outdoor Fire Pits and BBQs

Iconic outdoor gatherings often feature s’mores, late-night conversations, and stargazing — usually centered around a fire pit. Fire pits are a quick and easy way to bring families together to enjoy beautiful outdoor weather. Depending on the kind of paver you use to build them, they can look rustic, classic, or modern and sleek. They can also be either gas-powered or wood-burning. Choosing the right option for your backyard depends on your space and style.

Evaluating Outdoor Fire Pit Placement

There are several key elements to evaluate before starting your fire pit hardscape project. Check your local HOA or community bylaws to make sure fire pits are permitted. As a veteran of San Diego County construction, Savon Pavers owner Jamie Valdez can verify your fire pit complies with all county fire feature regulations. Generally, gas-powered fire pits offer more control over the fire’s size and are easier to start and stop. Wood-burning fire pits can produce larger fires and allow for more involvement in tending to the fire.

If you prefer a wood-burning fire pit, the team at Savon Pavers will advise you on the best placement of your fire pit, avoiding wind-channeled areas and proximity to foliage or structures. Low-hanging branches or structures may present a fire hazard. Positioning your fire pit in a clear, accessible spot verifies you can enjoy it without safety concerns.

Customizing Your Fire Pit

Collaborate with our team to design a custom fire pit that complements your outdoor space and other hardscape features. Choose between shapes like rounded, square, or rectangular. You can also experiment with varying colors and textures. Concrete pavers are available in a range of neutral colors, including tan, brown, and gray, among others. You can match them to your existing hardscape features or use a different color for contrast. Incorporate accent borders or contrasting stones to make the fire pit stand out.

Understanding the Installation Process

Once you approve the hardscape fire pit design, our team will handle excavation, base preparation, and construction. We oversee key elements like: 

• Proper drainage
• Level foundations
• Safe spacing and ventilation

These components are necessary for the safety and longevity of your fire pit. Poor water drainage may lead to shifting or cracks in your pavers, while an unbalanced foundation causes uneven settling. Our team will evaluate these risks and take the necessary precautions to prevent issues. This will allow you to enjoy your outdoor area and fire pit for years to come.
