Can I find a company that designs and installs fire pits for backyards? Yes. JPK Landscaping is a family-owned fire pit contractor and outdoor fireplace contractor serving Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky for 40+ years.
Planning a new patio? We’ll fold fire pits into your paver patio installation. Already have one? We can often install fire pits once we check the spacing and structure.
When you hire outdoor fireplace builders, you want durable materials and construction made for the weather. Are outdoor fireplaces worth it? How much value does a fire pit add? That depends on your yard and how you’ll use it, so we start with a site visit.
The base decides structural integrity. Cincinnati’s clay soil holds water, and freeze-thaw winters crack weak footings. So we plan the ground first: footing, drainage, proper venting, and quality masonry for durability and safety.
Who can design and build a luxury outdoor fire pit area? One team, start to finish, with custom designs shaped around your property.
We cover custom designs, fire pit installation, outdoor fireplace installation, and full fire feature installation. Searching for top-rated hardscape contractors for custom fire pit installation near me? Fire features are hardscape features, so we also build paver patios, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens.
How do I install a backyard fire pit? Every project runs in six steps:
An outdoor fireplace becomes the focal point of your outdoor living space, adding beauty and functionality. It’s a bigger construction, with a chimney and proper venting. We build traditional masonry, modern stucco-clad, and natural stone fireplaces, wood-burning or gas fireplaces, matched to your pavers.
Want a custom outdoor fireplace or a patio fireplace? We plan the structure, venting, and finish as one project, an inviting, warm hearth for quiet evenings to relax with family and friends. It gives a 180-degree heat area, lights easily in wind, and keeps embers from blowing around. Fire pits give 360-degree heat where friends gather, though wood-burning pits can be hard to light in wind. Which is the best option? Compare a fire pit or outdoor fireplace.
Custom fire pits are designed for each property, starting with how you’ll use them: guests in a big circle, or a few people who enjoy sitting close to the warmth. As your fire pit builder and installer, we create circular stone fire pits, modern gas fire pits, sunken seating, and double seating walls in natural stone, brick, or concrete block. Many sit right in a paver patio, in a style to match your house.
As your fire feature contractor, we pair it with an outdoor kitchen or seating, then add landscape lighting for a warm glow after dark. On a slope, retaining walls and steps create level ground. Planning the whole outdoor living area improves layout and functionality.
Is it cheaper to build a fire pit or buy one? Is it cheaper to buy or build? A freestanding kit costs less up front. A built-in fire feature is permanent construction, using natural stone, brick, or stucco, with a proper base, drainage, and a planned gas hookup. DIY builds skip those.
How much does it cost to hire someone to build a fire pit, or to have one installed? How much does it cost to have an outdoor fireplace built? What is the average cost of a fire pit? Size, fuel, materials, site prep, and add-ons all move the price. See our outdoor fireplace cost guide.

It depends on size, fuel, materials, site prep, and add-ons. We quote after seeing your yard.
Can I just put a fire pit in my yard? What are Ohio fire code guidelines? Rules can depend on your property, the fuel type, and setback requirements. We confirm codes and placement before we build.
Often, yes, after we check spacing and structure.
Gas is cleaner and easier to start, but it needs a licensed plumber. Wood gives you a warm crackle.
Built-in fireplaces typically take one to two weeks. Fire pits are usually faster.
A fire pit is low and open, with 360-degree seating. An outdoor fireplace is vertical, with a chimney that directs smoke away.
