Fire Pits in Orange County: Built and installed by TRU Landscape Services

If you’re thinking of having a fire pit built in Orange County, TRU Landscape Services has got you covered. We’ll help you design your own custom fire pit. Fire pits are also great for holidays, and any seasonal gatherings throughout the year. We understand the need to have your home warm for the holidays. Wouldn’t it be great to have a cozy outdoor living area too? 

When you are planning to have your fire pit built, you must account for cold temperatures, frozen ground, and safety. Many people actually prefer to install in the winter because landscaping companies are less busy. With TRU Landscape Services, you can custom design your fire pit, to any specifications you would like, with safety also being of the utmost importance.

Outdoor Fire Features

Installing a fire pit during the winter can be a great idea — but there are a few important considerations.

1. Ground Conditions

  • Frozen or wet soil is difficult to dig in and can shift when it thaws.

If your fire pit requires a paver base or concrete, temperatures below freezing can prevent materials from curing properly.

2. Material Performance

  • Concrete and mortar need temperatures above ~40°F (4°C) for proper curing.

  • Metal fire pits are perfectly fine to place any time; installation is minimal.

3. Safety

  • Maintain distance from structures, fences, trees, and overhanging branches.

A few benefits of having a winter installation are: faster scheduling with contractors, cheaper labor and possible off-season discounts, and being able to enjoy the fire pit during the season you’ll use it the most.

How To Setup Your Outdoor Space For Holiday Gatherings

How To Setup Your Outdoor Space For Holiday Gatherings

Holiday Gatherings

The holiday season is fast approaching, and homeowners are starting to plan for this year’s holiday gatherings. One aspect of preparing for holiday events that is often overlooked is preparing the outdoor space. A well-prepared outdoor space can transform a simple holiday gathering into a memorable and enjoyable experience for guests. In this article, we will discuss five easy steps to set up your outdoor space for holiday gatherings.

5 steps For Holiday Gatherings

1) Patio Covers: One of the essential features of a comfortable outdoor space is having some form of coverage from the elements. A patio cover is an excellent option to give your outdoor space a sense of enclosure, provide shade from the sun, and protect you and your guests from any potential rain during the holiday season. Some great options for patio covers include pergolas, covered patios, and retractable awnings.

 

2) Fire elements, fire pit, fireplaces: During the holiday season, having a fire element in your outdoor space can quickly create an intimate and cozy ambiance. Fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and custom-built fire features are great choices for creating a welcoming atmosphere. They can also provide enough warmth for outdoor activities to continue as the temperatures drop during the colder months.

 

3) Outdoor kitchens: Preparing food indoors during the holidays can be challenging, as it can get overcrowded and result in an uncomfortable living space. The solution? An outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens are a perfect option for homeowners who love to cook and entertain guests during holidays and other events. With built-in grills, sinks, refrigerators, and storage cabinets, outdoor kitchens can make for a fun and convenient dining experience.

 

4) Interlocking pavers: Maintaining a sturdy, safe, and attractive surface is crucial for your outdoor space. Interlocking pavers are excellent for creating a beautiful and durable surface for your patio, walkways, and driveways. They come in various patterns, shapes, and colors, making it easy for you to customize your space to your liking.

 

5) Light it up: Lighting sets the mood in any space, especially during the holiday season. Adding outdoor lighting can highlight key features of your space and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your guests. String lights, garden torches, spotlights, and lanterns are all great options for outdoor lighting.
