Fire Pit Design in Overland Park: Expert Input

Location, shape, material, color. There are lots of design decisions to make when it comes to your new fire pit. So what should you do? Look no further than GD Services for expert advice on fire pit design in Overland Park.

Key Factors in Fire Pit Design

When overhauling an outdoor space, it’s easy to overlook the design of your fire pit. However, you’ll find that night after night, the fire pit is where your friends and family gather to enjoy one another. So it’s important to put some thought into it!

Type

The most significant element in fire pit design is selecting between a gas and wood-burning fire pit. Gas fire pits are convenient and sleek while wood-burning fire pits have that signature, heartwarming ambience.

Location

When you’re choosing where to put your fire pit, consider what spot will provide optimal safety and functionality. Stay out from under trees, away from fabric, and far from most appliances. We recommend an open area with a convenient path and room for seating.

Shape

Fire pits can be round, square, or just about any shape you like. Just keep in mind what will look best with the existing layout of your space. For instance, a round fire pit may fit better in your space than a square one.

Material

Picking a durable and visually appealing material for your fire pit will make you the most happy in the long-run. Be careful not to select any absorbent materials, like limestone, as these can explode from heat exposure.

Color & Pattern

GD Services offers completely personalized designs, so we can achieve just about any look you desire. With that much freedom, it’s easy to let design get away from you. We recommend coordinating the fire pit colors and patterns with the rest of your outdoor space because too many competing styles can look messy and cheap.
