Fire Pit and Outdoor Fireplace Design in Atlanta, GA
A fire feature can become the place where family and friends naturally gather—but only when it is positioned, scaled, and supported by the surrounding space.
Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces designs custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces for Atlanta properties. We integrate the fire feature with patios, seating, circulation, landscaping, lighting, and nearby outdoor living areas so it feels like a meaningful part of the complete environment.
Fire Features Designed for Gathering
The design may include:
- Gas or wood-burning fire pits
- Masonry outdoor fireplaces
- Linear fire features
- Integrated seat walls
- Freestanding seating areas
- Natural stone or paver patios
- Landscape screening
- Path and accent lighting
- Connections to outdoor kitchens or covered spaces
The right choice depends on the property, desired atmosphere, available space, fuel preferences, local requirements, and how many people the area should accommodate.
Fire Feature Planning for Atlanta Properties
Placement matters. The feature should relate comfortably to the home and other gathering areas without interrupting major walkways. Tree cover, overhead structures, neighboring properties, grade, drainage, and prevailing conditions must be considered.
Atlanta’s seasonal temperature changes make fire features appealing during cooler evenings, but the surrounding area should remain useful even when the fire is not operating. Comfortable seating, shade nearby, and a strong landscape setting extend the value of the space.
Our Fire Feature Design-Build Process
The Client Concierge determines whether the request is a focused fire-feature project or part of a larger patio or backyard transformation. The consultation recommendation reflects property conditions, utility needs, hardscape scope, seating, structures, landscaping, anticipated investment, and readiness.
The design process addresses placement, scale, fuel, materials, clearances, circulation, drainage, lighting, and visual connection to the rest of the yard.
Fire Pit and Fireplace Investment
Cost factors include:
- Fire pit versus masonry fireplace
- Gas or wood-burning configuration
- Utility extensions
- Masonry and finish materials
- Patio construction
- Retaining or seat walls
- Built-in seating
- Lighting and landscaping
- Site access and grading
A fire feature is often most cost-effective and visually successful when planned with the surrounding patio and landscape rather than added later.

Should I choose a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace?
Fire pits tend to support circular or open gathering, while fireplaces can create a stronger focal point and sense of enclosure. The best choice depends on the desired experience and property layout.
Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio?
Possibly. The patio’s dimensions, condition, materials, circulation, and relevant clearances must be evaluated.
Can a fire feature be near an outdoor kitchen?
Yes, when the layout provides appropriate separation, comfortable movement, and well-defined activity areas.
Do you install gas lines?
Utility needs are coordinated as part of the approved project scope using the appropriate qualified trades.
Can seating be incorporated?
Yes. Seat walls, freestanding furniture zones, or other integrated seating can be included.
