Fire Features
The Heart of Your Outdoor Gatherings
There’s a certain magic to the warm glow of a fire. It brings people together, encourages conversation, and turns a simple evening into a memorable event. At Poseidons Pools, we design and build beautiful, custom fire features for homeowners across Greater Boston and Southern New Hampshire. From cozy fire pits for roasting marshmallows to grand outdoor fireplaces that anchor your patio, we create stunning focal points that add warmth, light, and ambiance to your backyard.
Why Add a Custom Fire Feature to Your Backyard?
Key Benefits of Our Landscape Design Services:
- Extend Your Outdoor Season: Don’t let a chill in the New England air send you inside. A fire feature allows you to enjoy your backyard earlier in the spring and later into the fall.
- Create a Natural Gathering Spot: A fire pit or fireplace becomes the instinctive focal point for any gathering, drawing family and friends together.
- Enhance Ambiance & Property Value: A professionally built fire feature adds significant ambiance, sophistication, and real market value to your home.
- Integrated Design: As part of a complete backyard plan, we ensure your fire feature’s materials and location perfectly complement your pool, patio, and home architecture.
Our Custom Fire Feature Options
We build our fire features with safety and beauty as our top priorities, using materials and techniques designed to last.
Custom-Built Fire Pits
The classic choice for versatile seating and a campfire-like experience. Our fire pits are built to your exact specifications in any shape (round, square, linear) and finished with beautiful, durable materials like natural stone or pavers that match your patio. Choose from a traditional wood-burning setup or the convenience of a gas-fueled fire pit with the flip of a switch.
Grand Outdoor Fireplaces
Make a truly impressive statement and create the ultimate outdoor living room. A custom outdoor fireplace provides a dramatic architectural anchor for your patio, offering warmth and a stunning visual centerpiece. We can build them to any scale and finish them with stone, brick, or other materials to perfectly match your home’s style.

Fire Feature FAQs for Boston & NH Homeowners
Should I choose a wood-burning or gas fire pit?
It’s a choice between ambiance and convenience. Wood offers the classic crackle and smell of a real campfire. Gas offers instant on/off convenience with no smoke or cleanup, which many homeowners prefer, especially near a pool or home.
How much does a custom fire pit cost?
The cost varies based on size, materials (pavers vs. natural stone), and fuel type (wood vs. gas). We provide detailed quotes tailored to your specific design after our initial consultation.
Do I need a permit for a fire pit or outdoor fireplace in my town?
It varies by town, especially for gas-fueled features and larger fireplaces. Part of our service is to determine the local requirements and manage the permitting process for you.
How close to my house can a fire feature be?
Local building and fire codes dictate minimum distances from combustible structures. We are experts in these local regulations and will design your project for full compliance and safety.
