Most people looking for a fire pit in Colleyville are finishing a backyard already set up for entertaining. Once the patio is in, the fire pit becomes the spot where the evening settles after dinner.
Natural gas is what most Colleyville yards run. It starts and shuts off with a switch, with no smoke or ash to manage while guests are over.
Propane covers the yards that don't reach a gas line. Wood-burning still suits the bigger lots that want the crackle and have the room to store logs.
We build the pit in natural stone, travertine, or poured concrete, matched to your coping and the rest of the hardscape.
DFW summers push bare stone hot enough to matter near a pool deck, and winter brings a hard freeze most years. We set the stone surround over a poured footing so it doesn't shift with the ground, and we seal travertine so it doesn't take on water that can crack under a freeze. The burner insert itself is steel or aluminum rated for direct flame, so it holds up to the heat cycle season after season instead of warping.
Most pits here are built into the patio or pool deck, with a low seat wall wrapping it, often in the same stone as a retaining wall elsewhere in the yard.
On the bigger lots the question is often a pit or a full outdoor fireplace. A fire pit stays low and open, so a group can talk across it and still see the rest of the yard, and it costs less to build. An outdoor fireplace is a taller masonry structure on its own footing, with a firebox and chimney that draws smoke up and out, and it holds the eye as a fixed backdrop the way a pit can't. Colleyville lots with room for both often put the pit near the pool for everyday use and save the fireplace for a covered patio.
Size, stone, and the gas line run all move the price on these lots. We measure the yard and give you a fixed number at the free estimate.
Most of the fire pits we build in Colleyville are one piece of a bigger patio project, alongside an outdoor kitchen or a new patio. Building them together means one crew handles the stone and the layout, so the pit, the kitchen counter, and the patio surface all match and read as one finished space.
We build fire pits throughout Colleyville and the mid-cities. Fill out the form for a free on-site estimate, or see the full patio and outdoor living work we do in Colleyville.
Pair the pit with an outdoor kitchen, compare with our outdoor fireplaces in Colleyville if a taller masonry feature fits your yard better, or see our fire pits in McKinney.

FAQ
Fire Pits in Colleyville, answered
Natural gas is what most Colleyville yards use, easy to start and shut off with no smoke during an evening with guests. Wood suits the larger lots that want the smell and crackle and have room to store logs. Propane covers the spots a gas line cannot reach. We build all three.
It depends on size, stone, and how far the gas line has to run. A simple fire table costs less, and a full outdoor fireplace is a bigger project. We quote a fixed number after seeing the yard, not a range.
The gas line work is permitted in Colleyville and the licensed plumber pulls it. Many of the estate neighborhoods here have deed restrictions or an HOA that wants the plan reviewed before you build, especially near a pool or a property line. We build to the clearances and help with the submittal.
A steel or aluminum burner insert holds the gas ring and the lava rock or fire glass, set inside a surround of natural stone, travertine, pavers, or poured concrete. On Colleyville lots we usually match natural stone to your coping and patio so the pit looks like part of the original design.
We build the stone and a licensed plumber runs the gas line from the meter to the pit and makes the connection. Where no gas service reaches the spot, propane from a hidden tank is the alternative. We coordinate the trades so it comes out as one finished feature.
A fire pit stays low and open so a group can gather around it, and it costs less to build. An outdoor fireplace is a taller masonry structure with its own footing and chimney, built as the focal point of a covered patio. Bigger Colleyville lots often have room for both, a pit near the pool and a fireplace on a covered patio.
It does when it's built right. We set the stone surround on a poured footing so it doesn't shift with the ground, seal travertine so it doesn't take on water that cracks under a freeze, and use a steel or aluminum burner insert rated for direct flame so it doesn't warp from the heat.
