Fireplace or Fire Pit

Creating a Unique “Destination”

Adding a fireplace or a fire pit in your backyard can create another unique “destination” point. Your family will enjoy many wonderful evenings around a fire while also adding value to your home.  Potential home buyers love to see additional “destination” points in a yard. 

Woods Landscape Company has been building both fireplaces and fire pits.  Let’s take a quick look at both options.  We can help you decide which option may be right for you and your family.

A fireplace makes a statement in your landscape!  It may be used to help create privacy or block an ugly view.  On the other hand, they take up a great deal of space.  Seating is more limited than you might initially imagine.

A fire pit is more casual and less expensive to build.  It can usually be constructed in 1 or 2 days at most.  It provides 360 degrees of seating and creates a wonderful ambiance on a cool spring night.  You have less control of where the smoke decides to go. 

Both options will provide great opportunities to create family memories!  Plus, if it can add value to your home value, you have created a win-win.  Regardless of your decision, we are happy to help provide options and ideas.
