Building a New Outdoor Entertaining Area
Plenty of our fire pit builds happen alongside a new patio, deck or pergola, added right from the start as the centrepiece of the space rather than an extra decided on later.

Custom Fire Pits for Mornington Peninsula Outdoor Living
We design and build custom fire pits for properties across the Mornington Peninsula. A well-placed fire pit gives an outdoor space a proper focal point, somewhere people naturally gather once the sun goes down and the evening cools off.
Every fire pit we build is designed around the rest of your landscaping, not dropped in as an afterthought. That might mean tying it into an existing patio, setting it near a garden bed, or building seating around it as part of a wider outdoor living area. If you're ready to add a fire pit to your property, get in touch and we'll talk through what suits your space.
Common Reasons Peninsula Homeowners Add a Fire Pit
Turning an Unused Corner Into a Gathering Spot
A quiet patch of lawn or an awkward side yard can become the part of the property everyone ends up in, once there's a reason to sit out there after dark.
More Use From the Yard in Cooler Months
A fire pit stretches the outdoor season well past the warmer months, so the yard doesn't sit empty once the weather turns.
Adding a Fire Pit Alongside Other Outdoor Work
If you're already having a deck or pergola built, a fire pit is often added into the same design so the whole space works together.
An Outdoor Area People Actually Use
A well-built fire pit changes how a backyard gets used. Instead of packing up when the sun goes down, people pull up a chair and stay outside. It becomes the spot for a quiet night with a drink, a spot for the kids to toast marshmallows, or where a barbecue turns into a few extra hours outdoors. Over time it tends to become the part of the property that gets used the most, not just on special occasions.
A Few Ways to Build a Fire Pit
01
Built-In Stone or Masonry Fire Pits
A permanent, built-in fire pit finished in stone, brick or block to match your existing paving, retaining walls or garden edging, so it looks like it belongs rather than sitting on top of the yard.
02
Sunken or Raised Designs
Depending on the block and the surrounding landscaping, a fire pit can be set down into a paved patio for a low, tucked-in look. It can also be built up as a raised feature bordering a garden bed or seating area.
03
Wood-Burning or Gas-Fuelled Fire Pits
A wood-burning fire pit gives you the real crackle and smell of an open fire. A gas-fuelled option lights at the push of a button, with none of the mess or ash to clean up. Which one suits comes down to how often you’ll use it and how hands-on you want to be.
Getting the Placement and Materials Right
Our team treats a fire pit as part of the overall landscape design, not a separate job bolted onto the end of it. That means working out placement early, checking clearance from fencing, structures and overhanging trees, and picking a spot that still works with wind direction and how the rest of the yard gets used.
Some properties on the Peninsula also carry restrictions on open fires at certain times of year. We help you land on a fire pit and fuel type that works with your property rather than against it. Materials are matched to what's already on site wherever possible, so a new fire pit reads as part of the existing patio or garden rather than a separate add-on.
