Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces in Montgomery County
Custom fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and seating walls designed together for lasting outdoor gathering spaces.
Custom fire pits built for the patio
A permanent fire pit can give a patio a clear place to gather. Mex Landscaping designs and builds custom fire pits for properties across Montgomery County and the Main Line, using stone, block, or brick finishes chosen to work with the surrounding patio. We plan the size, position, and seating around the way you expect to use the space rather than dropping a kit into an existing layout.
Wood-burning or gas fire pit?
We build wood-burning and gas fire pits. Wood-burning offers a traditional flame but needs fuel, tending, and cleanup; gas is convenient to start and shut off but requires utility planning. We discuss the trade-offs, site conditions, and any required trade work during the estimate so the choice fits your property and routine.
Outdoor fireplaces as a focal point
An outdoor fireplace gives the patio a vertical focal point and a natural direction for seating. We design and build fireplaces as part of a permanent outdoor space, considering how the structure relates to the house, the patio footprint, and nearby planting. Materials and proportions can tie it to a new outdoor living design or an existing hardscape after we assess the site.
Seat walls that complete the gathering space
A low, capped seating wall can frame a fire pit or define the edge of a patio while providing built-in places to sit. We choose stone or block finishes that work with the fire feature and surrounding hardscape, and plan the wall's position so circulation and seating stay comfortable. A wall that also holds back a grade has different structural demands; see our retaining and seating walls service for that work.
Designed and built as one project
Fire features work best when the patio, seating, circulation, and lighting are considered together. We can plan a new outdoor room or assess whether a feature can be added to an existing patio. Layout, base conditions, drainage, materials, and utilities all shape the proposal, and one team coordinates the hardscape work from design through installation.
Placement and project requirements
We review the proposed location in relation to structures, planting, traffic paths, drainage, and the type of feature you want. Material, utility, and municipal requirements vary by project, so we confirm the applicable scope before construction. We will talk through those considerations during the on-site estimate rather than assume every yard can use the same design.

Fire Pits & Outdoor Fireplaces FAQs
Should I get a wood-burning or gas fire pit?
Wood-burning gives you a traditional fire but needs fuel, tending, and cleanup. Gas is convenient to start and stop but requires utility planning. We build both types of fire pit and can discuss the right fit for your site and how you plan to use it.
How much does a custom fire pit cost?
Cost depends on size, materials, site access, the existing patio and base, and any utilities or seating walls involved. We provide a project-specific, no-obligation estimate after seeing the space.
Can you add a fire pit to my existing patio?
Often, but it depends on the patio's layout, base, and surrounding space. We assess those conditions before recommending a feature or any preparation the site may need.
Can you build an outdoor fireplace as well as a fire pit?
Yes. We design and build outdoor fireplaces as well as custom fire pits. A fireplace creates a vertical focal point, while a fire pit typically lets people gather around the flame. The right choice depends on layout, materials, budget, and how you want to use the patio.
Can you add a seating wall around a fire feature?
Yes. We build seating walls that frame fire features or define a patio edge. We can plan the wall with a new patio or assess an existing one first. If the wall also retains soil, we account for that different structural role in the design.
Do I need a permit for a fire pit or outdoor fireplace?
Requirements vary by municipality and project details, including the feature type and any utility work. We review what applies to your property during planning rather than assume the same rules for every township.
