Orange County Concrete Fire Pits
Need the right addition to your landscape? Consider installing a fire pit. Our Orange County Concrete fire pits provide a focal point for outdoor gatherings. They are built from quality materials, and look great. Read more to see our last concrete fire pit installation.
Earlier this week we finished a North Tustin Landscaping project that transformed our customer’s backyard. In the previous landscape blog we showed some pictures of the completed Orange County Stamped Concrete Patio. In this blog, we’ll be moving into another area of the backyard landscape, the fire pit area.
The patio area surrounding the fire pit is dark stained stamped concrete
Fire Pits Balance Design and Functionality
This rectangular fire pit includes a poured in place concrete cap with stucco siding to match the home. Square and rectangular fire pit designs are becoming popular. We also build traditional round fire pits. Other style options include variations in sidings from veneers to stack stone to stucco. We can also color the fire pit’s concrete cap to match your backyard landscape.
Concrete fire pits should be built by licensed contractors. Why risk your landscape construction on an unlicensed contractor? Our certified landscape crews will safely install the fire pit gas line, and use top quality materials and careful construction practices.
Fire Pits aren’t just beautiful, they’re also practical. For one, the fire pit’s poured-in-place concrete cap can be used as a as a table. And of course, a built-in gas fire pit will provide warmth and light to any outdoor gathering. Warmth and light.
Fireglass is one option for your fire pit’s filling.
Fire Pit Fillings: from sand to fireglass
Many new fire pit owners chose unique fillings for their fire pits. We supply everything from lava rock or sand to our custom American Fire glass. It all depends on what your landscape design needs.
As you can see, tumbled fire glass can be chosen to match any color scheme of furniture or otherwise, so it is often a good option for homeowners with an existing color pallet. In this way, each element of your landscape will work in harmony. Using different construction techniques, fillings, and surrounding patio materials, Fire pits can be constructed to match any shape, style, or color of landscape.
Outdoor Living with Fire Pits
There are many benefits to using built in fire pits. Fire is striking!
- Few other landscape elements will have as much impact (especially at night) as a fire element.
- Concrete fire pits are also very low maintenance (especially when properly constructed). They start with ease and eliminate the need to gather and throw additional wood onto the fire.
- Your neighbors probably don’t have one. You’ll easily be able to one up the Joneses with a sick new pit. They’ll be jealous and probably move away out of sheer envy.
The Difference of a Landscape Remodel
So the finished area looks pretty nice, right? It’s a completely useable space with matching outdoor furniture, some expertly finished stamped concrete, and of course the styled Orange County concrete fire pit. It’d be easy to step out your back door, put your feet up, and relax. But only a few weeks before these pictures were taken, the backyard landscape was a mess!
Before TRU Landscape Services arrived, the backyard was a messy dusty garden with scattered dry planter beds. The whole yard was a slope, and was difficult to navigate if you were walking through it. Tree stumps and struggling old plants made it look depressing. Mounds of dry dirt were lumped along the corners of the rotting planter beds. After demolition, leveling and grading the yard, we built the fire pit form. With that in place, our crews finished the stamped concrete patio and the fire element. The finished outdoor living area looks totally new!
What used to be a completely unusable space was transformed into a totally unique and inviting patio area. If you’re ready to do the same for your backyard landscape, call TRU Landscape today and ask about the option of installing your own Orange County Concrete Fire Pit!

During the inspection, the Orange County landscape inspector noticed that we had our grades set up so that all of the water would run away from the house into the drains. He told us we were doing a professional job! It’s always nice to get a complement from a city inspector.
