Stone Columns, Fire Pits & Stone Circles
The features people gather around
The finishing pieces: a wood-burning or gas fire pit set into the patio, stone columns flanking a driveway or entry, pillars with lighted caps, and precut stone circles that give a patio a focal point instead of a plain rectangle.
Why homeowners choose it
- Extends outdoor season well into fall and spring
- Columns and pillars frame an entry and lift curb appeal
- Lighted caps add safety and evening ambience
- Built with fire-rated inner block and stone veneer, not stacked landscape block
Materials we work with
- Fire-rated block cores with stone or paver veneer
- Gas-ready fire pits with burner kits and key valves
- Manufactured and natural stone column veneer
- Precut paver circle and fan kits
What drives the price
Fire pits and columns are usually added to a larger patio or driveway project. Gas features add plumbing and permit cost; wood-burning pits are the simplest and fastest to build.
FAQ
Fire Pits & Columns questions
Wood-burning or gas fire pit?+
Wood costs less and is simple to build. Gas is cleaner, instant, and easier where smoke would bother neighbors — common in tighter Arlington, Alexandria, and DC lots.
Are backyard fire pits allowed in DC and Arlington?+
Rules vary by jurisdiction and by fuel type, with setback requirements from structures and property lines. We build to the setbacks that apply to your address.
