Fire Features

Fire features transform a Long Island patio from a simple outdoor surface into a captivating gathering space filled with warmth and year-round appeal. Brothers Paving designs and installs custom firepits, outdoor fireplaces, fire tables, and fire bowls that become the focal point of your outdoor living area. On Long Island, where evenings stretch comfortably from April through November, a fire feature makes your patio inviting well beyond the summer months. National surveys consistently rank fire features among the top three most-desired outdoor amenities for homebuyers, and in the Nassau and Suffolk County market, a professionally installed fire feature adds measurable value to your property.

Firepits are our most popular option, creating a 360-degree gathering spot in round, square, or rectangular configurations. We build them using interlocking wall block, natural stone, and custom masonry, with a choice of wood-burning or gas fuel. Gas firepits offer instant ignition, adjustable flame, and clean operation, topped with decorative fire glass, lava rock, or ceramic logs. Outdoor fireplaces make a bold architectural statement with fire-rated brick fireboxes, steel reinforcement, and stone veneer or stucco exteriors. Options include custom mantels, raised hearths, and integrated wood storage. Fire tables and fire bowls provide a more contemporary approach, combining clean-burning gas systems with sculptural design for dining areas and pool surrounds.

Safety is built into every installation. We adhere to all local building codes, maintain required setback distances, and use spark arrestors and fire-rated construction on wood-burning features. Gas connections are completed by licensed professionals with code-compliant piping and shut-off valves. Every fire feature rests on a compacted aggregate base or reinforced concrete footing to prevent settling and frost heaving, using materials rated for Long Island freeze-thaw cycles and coastal humidity.
