Custom Fire Pits Built to Gather
We design and install safe, lasting outdoor fire features that add warmth, style, and value to your yard.
Fire Pits
A custom fire pit adds warmth, light, and a natural gathering space to your backyard. At 616 Custom Construction, we build fire pits that look great, fit your outdoor layout, and hold up through Michigan weather. Whether you want a simple wood-burning feature or a clean gas fire pit for easy use, we can help you create a space that feels inviting in every season.
Our fire pit service starts with planning the right size, shape, and location. We look at patio flow, seating space, safety clearances, drainage, and how the fire feature will work with the rest of your landscape design. We build round, square, and rectangular fire pits using quality materials like natural stone, concrete block, pavers, and matching hardscape materials for a finished look.
We can install both wood-burning fire pits and gas fire pits, depending on how you want to use the space. Wood-burning options offer a classic backyard campfire feel. Gas fire pits give you fast startup, low maintenance, and a more controlled flame. If you choose gas, we coordinate the layout so the fire feature is ready for the proper fuel connection and burner components.
Every project is built with long-term performance in mind. That includes a stable base, proper leveling, durable construction, and attention to ventilation and heat-resistant materials where needed. If your fire pit is part of a larger outdoor living project, we can also integrate it into a patio, seating wall, walkway, or full backyard renovation so everything feels connected.
Homeowners choose custom fire pits for more than looks. They create a place to relax, entertain guests, roast marshmallows, and spend more time outside during cool evenings. A well-built fire feature can also add character and value to your outdoor living space.
If you are thinking about adding a fire pit to your yard, we would be glad to talk through ideas and help you choose the best option for your home. Contact 616 Custom Construction to start planning your custom fire pit project today.
Our Fire Pit Process
We make fire pit projects simple, safe, and built to last with a clear plan, skilled installation, and a final walkthrough focused on your satisfaction.
Design Consultation and Site Review
We start with a conversation about how you want to use your fire pit, then we review your yard layout, drainage, grade, access, and safe clearance from structures. We recommend the right size, shape, fuel type, and paver or natural stone materials, then provide a clear estimate and timeline.
Layout, Prep, and Base Construction
Once approved, we mark the fire pit location, protect nearby landscape features, and excavate for a proper foundation. We install a compacted gravel base and any needed drainage and build layers to support long-term durability, stable seating areas, and clean masonry lines.
Fire Pit Build and Final Walkthrough
We construct your fire pit with careful attention to fit, finish, and safety, including proper block or stone placement and clean joint work. After installation, we complete a full cleanup, test the finished feature, and walk you through care, use, and maintenance so you feel confident enjoying it right away.
Fire Pit FAQs
Common questions we hear from homeowners planning a custom fire pit, with clear answers from our team at 616 Custom Construction.
- What type of fire pit is best for my backyard?
That depends on how you plan to use it, your patio layout, and your fuel preference. We help you choose between wood-burning and gas fire pits, as well as the right size, shape, and seating area for your space. Our goal is a fire feature that fits your yard and your lifestyle.
- Will a fire pit work in a small backyard?
Yes, many small yards can still support a safe, great-looking fire pit design. We plan around clearances, traffic flow, patio space, and nearby structures so the area feels comfortable, not crowded. A well-designed fire pit can make a smaller backyard feel more useful and inviting.
- How much does a custom fire pit cost?
Fire pit cost depends on the size, materials, fuel type, site access, and whether it is part of a larger patio or outdoor living project. We provide clear estimates so you know what to expect before work begins. Our team focuses on lasting value, not shortcuts.
- Do I need a permit for a fire pit?
Some projects do, and some do not, depending on your township, fire code, and whether you choose a gas or wood-burning fire pit. We help you understand local requirements before construction starts. That way, you avoid surprises and move forward with confidence.
- How long does fire pit installation take?
Most fire pit installations can be completed in a few days, but timing depends on the design, materials, weather, and site conditions. If your project includes a paver patio, retaining wall, or other hardscaping, it may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline from the start.
- Why should I hire 616 Custom Construction for my fire pit project?
We build fire pits with the same care we would use at our own homes. Our team focuses on solid construction, smart layout, and clean finishing details that hold up over time. If you are ready to upgrade your outdoor space, contact 616 Custom Construction to schedule your quote.
Why Homeowners Recommend Us
See what local customers noticed about our work, communication, and finished results.
We hired Cohen & his crew at 616 to repair some trim on the front of our house, take off our old deck, and install a new composite deck. We could not be happier with the finished work. Cohen was communicative and kind throughout the process. We ran into an issue with the permit initially that Cohen helped take care of - whatever control he had over the situation he made sure to execute and did everything he could to make the process smooth and right for us. We are excited for our new deck and would absolutely recommend the 616 crew to others.
Absolutely loved working with 616 Custom Construction! They are so easy to work with, straight forward and the work was better than I expected! All the guys working were incredibly respectful of myself and my family including minimal noise and proximity to our daily activities (i.e. leaving the house, parking) I'm looking forward to the next time I hire them to help me improve my home's features!
Had a deck installed recently, finished product was much more than we were expecting. Great quality work by great respectful people.
