Serving Highland Park since 2004· Licensed & insured · Free on-site estimates
Highland Park and University Park sit on mature, close-set lots where the house, the pool, and the fence are all within a few steps of each other. We size the pit to the space you have and keep it clear of the house and the neighbor's fence, and we work out the spot on the walk-through.
Gas is almost always the right call here. It lights with a switch and makes no smoke or ash, which matters when the neighbor's windows are close. It needs a gas line run to it, usually a short reach from the house on these established lots.
We pour a proper footing so the pit does not heave with the soil, set a steel ring or fire-rated liner at the core, and set clearances off the house and the fence.
The fire pit answers to the architecture of older brick and limestone homes, so we lean toward natural limestone, cut stone, and brick that match the house and the existing stonework. These projects often run through a designer, and we build from their specs. Built-in is the standard here, a pit that reads as original to the home. We match the surround to your existing coping and patio.
On a smaller lot, a low seat wall earns its space. An 18 to 24 inch wall around the pit gives you seating for a group and carries the same stone as the pit. That seat wall is the same build as a retaining wall, so the two often go in together. A fire pit also pairs cleanly with an outdoor kitchen when the backyard is being redone as one project.
Want the chimney and the mantel instead? Look at an outdoor fireplace, a larger masonry build.
A custom stone pit usually takes 3 to 5 days on site, longer with premium stone and detailing. You can also compare a fire pit in Southlake. Fill out the form for a free on-site estimate.

FAQ
Fire Pits in Highland Park, answered
Gas, in almost every case. The Park Cities sit on close-set lots where smoke carries to the neighbors and there is no room for a woodpile, and a gas pit lights with a switch with none of that. The gas line is usually a short run from the house. Wood-burning only works where there is real clearance, and some owners are restricted from it.
Yes. On an older Park Cities home that usually means sourcing limestone, cut stone, or brick to match the existing facade, so the pit reads as original to the property rather than an add-on.
Usually, yes. We size the pit to your lot, and on a tight Park Cities yard a low pit with a seat wall takes up far less room than a tall fireplace would. We find the spot on the walk-through and keep the clearances off the house and the fence.
The gas line connection is permitted and inspected work, which the licensed plumber handles. Highland Park and University Park have their own rules on built structures and setbacks, so we confirm those before we build, and if the project runs through a designer we work from the approved plans.
We build the pit and the stonework and coordinate a licensed plumber for the gas connection, so you get a finished, ready-to-light pit. On these older homes we match the surround to the limestone, cut stone, or brick of the house and your existing coping, bringing samples to set against what you have.
