If you're adding a fire pit in DeSoto, you likely already have the patio or pool deck and want a spot that pulls people outside once the evenings cool off. We build the pit into the space you already have.
The first choice is fuel. Wood-burning costs the least to build and gives you the smell and the crackle, but you store the wood and clean out the ash. Natural gas is the easy daily-use setup, on and off with a switch, no smoke and nothing to haul.
Most DeSoto homes already have gas at the house, so cost mostly comes down to how far the line runs out to the pit, and a licensed plumber makes that connection. Propane is the middle path when there's no gas line to tap, fed from a tank you tuck out of sight and refill.
We build in natural stone, stacked stone, pavers, and poured concrete, matched to your patio, with a rated burner insert on gas pits so the flame stays even.
The pit needs clearance from the house, the fence, and anything that overhangs, so it sits in a safe, usable spot. A lot of DeSoto lots have room for a seat wall wrapped around the pit, a low 18 to 24 inch wall that gives you built-in seating without dragging chairs out.
If your yard has any fall to it, we can tie that into a retaining wall so one crew handles the grade and the fire pit together.
A fire pit is open, lower cost, and gathers people in a circle, which is what most DeSoto backyards want. An outdoor fireplace is a tall masonry structure with a chimney that anchors a wall and blocks wind, and it runs several times more. We build both and walk you through which fits your space and budget.
We build fire pits throughout DeSoto and south Dallas County, and if we're also doing your outdoor kitchen we match the stone so the backyard reads as one space. Fill out the form for a free on-site estimate. We measure it, we quote it.

FAQ
Fire Pits in DeSoto, answered
Gas is easier to use and maintain. Flip it on and off, no smoke and no wood to store, which is why most DeSoto homeowners pick it. Wood costs less to build and gives you the smell and the crackle. We build both and tell you which suits how you actually use the yard.
A simple wood-burning or propane pit costs less than a built-in natural gas pit with a stone surround. A longer gas line run, premium stone, or a seat wall all add to it. We measure the space and give a fixed price for your yard.
A gas line tap is permitted work, and the licensed plumber handles that. If you are in a community like Thorntree with an HOA, a built fire feature usually needs board sign-off first. We can tell you what your setup needs before we start.
Natural stone, stacked stone, and pavers all take the heat and the freeze-thaw swings without breaking down, and we match them to your patio. The piece that matters most on a gas pit is a rated burner insert and pan, so the fire runs even and the masonry stays dry.
We build the stone and masonry and a licensed plumber makes the gas connection, so it comes back as one finished pit. Most DeSoto homes have gas at the house already, so the line run out to the pit is usually short.
