FIRE PIT DESIGNS

Determining the best location for your fire pit largely depends on your yard's layout and your personal preferences. Safety should always be a priority, so it's crucial to choose a spot that's away from overhanging trees, shrubs, and other flammable structures. It's also wise to consider wind direction, so the smoke doesn't blow towards your house or entertaining areas.

In terms of aesthetics and functionality, you might want to position your fire pit where it can serve as a focal point in your yard. Consider how the fire pit will look from various angles, not just from the patio but also from inside your home. Also, think about convenience—having it close enough to your house for easy access but far enough to keep smoke away.

Fire pits designed and installed by professionals like Jonathan & Sons Landscaping are generally very safe. We ensure they're placed in a suitable location and use quality materials that can withstand high temperatures. We also provide safety advice to all our clients, such as keeping a water source nearby and not leaving the fire unattended.

However, it's essential to remember that fire is inherently unpredictable, and accidents can happen. It's crucial to keep children and pets at a safe distance, never use flammable liquids to start or maintain the fire, and make sure the fire is entirely extinguished before leaving it unattended.

The type of maintenance required for your fire pit largely depends on the materials used. For instance, brick and stone fire pits may need occasional resealing, while metal ones might require rust prevention measures. But generally, most fire pits are low-maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove ash and debris is usually enough to keep them in good shape.

Beyond that, it's also important to cover your fire pit when it's not in use, especially during rainy or snowy seasons, to prevent water from accumulating. With the right care and maintenance, your fire pit will provide you with many years of enjoyment. And remember, we're always here to provide advice and assistance if you ever have questions or concerns about maintaining your fire pit.
