Fire Pit Installation in Verona & Madison, WI
A real gathering spot, built into a patio or standalone, with the clearance and base it needs, done right the first time.
Dane County yards aren’t flat. A slope from the driveway to the front door, a drop from the patio to the lawn, a hillside garden you can’t get to safely, all of it needs steps that stay level and don’t shift when the ground freezes and thaws. We build them into the site properly the first time, not set on top of it.
A fire pit set up wrong is a liability, too close to the house, poor clearance from anything flammable, no proper base underneath. We build them into the site correctly the first time, whether it’s part of a new patio or added to an existing one.
What Goes Into a Fire Pit Built the Right Way
Proper clearance and a non-combustible base. Set correctly the first time, not eyeballed.
Wood-burning or gas. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs, gas is more convenient, wood-burning is the classic most people picture.
Licensed and insured. Ask us for proof. Ask everyone you’re considering.
Built into an existing patio or as its own standalone space. Either way, it’s tied into the surrounding hardscape so it doesn’t look like an afterthought.
A fire pit almost always pairs with a [paver patio] or a full [outdoor living space]. If you’re planning both, we’ll build them as one project.

Why a Fire Pit Should Never Be a Weekend DIY Project
A fire pit is the one part of a backyard where getting it wrong isn’t just a cosmetic problem.
Skip proper clearance, base, or setback from structures and you’re looking at:
Scorched siding or decking from being placed too close to the house
A base that cracks and heaves from the heat and Wisconsin freeze-thaw combined
Sparks landing on dry grass or mulch because clearance wasn’t accounted for
A setup that doesn’t meet local fire code, which can become a real problem when you sell the house
This is one of the few hardscaping projects where “close enough” isn’t good enough.
How we build: Which is why the clearances get checked before anything is built, not after. Distance from the house, distance from anything that burns, a base that handles heat and frost without cracking, and a setup that meets local code while it's still a drawing rather than a finished fire pit you have to argue about later.
What We Check Before Anything Gets Built
We look at the space, talk through wood-burning versus gas, and check what’s feasible given setbacks and clearance. You get a quote with a real number before anything’s scheduled.
