Seattle Fire Pit Contractor

Expert Fire Pit Contractors Serving Seattle, Washington

Seattle homeowners choose New Life Rockeries for custom fire pit installations that transform their backyards into year-round gathering spaces. In the Pacific Northwest, where evenings are cool even in summer, a well-designed fire feature extends outdoor living by months — and adds lasting value to your property.

Our Seattle fire pit installations range from simple natural stone fire rings to elaborate built-in gas fire features with seating walls and custom stone surrounds. We work with natural basalt, granite, and fieldstone to create fire features that look as though they've always been part of your landscape.

Every fire pit we build in Seattle is designed for safety, durability, and the specific conditions of your site. We evaluate your yard's layout, existing hardscaping, and your vision for how you'll use the space, then create a design that maximizes both beauty and function.

Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State. We handle everything from permits to final cleanup, and we never ask for payment until the job is done to your satisfaction.

Seattle's outdoor culture revolves around making the most of every dry evening, and a well-designed fire pit area is the outdoor feature that gets used more than any other — extending the outdoor season from May through October and creating a gathering point that draws family and friends outside. New Life Rockeries has been building fire pit areas in Seattle since 1975, working across the city's neighborhoods from intimate courtyard fire pits in Capitol Hill to expansive outdoor living areas with built-in fire features in Magnolia and Laurelhurst.

Seattle's hillside properties create unique opportunities for fire pit design. A fire pit positioned at the edge of a terrace on a Queen Anne or Beacon Hill slope can offer dramatic views of Puget Sound, the Olympics, or the Seattle skyline — making the fire pit area the focal point of the entire outdoor space. We design fire pit areas that take advantage of Seattle's remarkable views while meeting the city's setback requirements from structures and property lines.

Seattle's fire code requires wood-burning fire pits to be at least 10 feet from any structure and 3 feet from any combustible material. Gas fire features are subject to different requirements and must be installed by a licensed gas contractor. We design fire pit areas that meet Seattle's fire code requirements and advise on the permitting process for gas features. Most residential fire pit installations don't require a building permit, but gas line work always requires a permit.

We build fire pit areas with natural stone, concrete pavers, and manufactured fire pit inserts — selecting materials based on your aesthetic preferences, the style of your home, and the specific conditions of your Seattle property. For hillside properties, we often integrate the fire pit area with a retaining wall or terraced seating system that creates a complete outdoor living space.
