Fire Features

Fire Pits & Fireplaces

The night doesn't end at sunset. Gas or wood-burning fire features that turn your patio into the spot everyone gathers — and stays.

Fire Features

Fire Pits & Fireplaces

A fire feature is the heart of your backyard. It's where conversations happen, where the evening extends past sunset, and where your outdoor space becomes usable year-round — even on a crisp Louisiana winter night. A fire pit or fireplace transforms a patio from a daytime space into an all-hours destination.

Blue Tide Exteriors builds custom fire pits, fireplaces, fire bowls, and fire tables. We work in natural stone, brick, stucco, and cast concrete. Gas fire features are plumbed with licensed gas lines and electronic ignition. Wood-burning features are built with proper firebrick and draw-engineered flues.

Every fire feature is designed as part of your overall backyard — positioned for seating flow, integrated with your patio materials, and coordinated with your pergola or screen enclosure. We handle the gas plumbing, electrical, masonry, and permits — all in-house, all under one warranty.

Why Blue Tide

Built to Last

Every project is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty and 24 years of combined construction experience.

Your Kind of Evening

Instant warmth at the flip of a switch, or the crackle and tradition of real wood. We build both — and help you choose the feeling that fits your evenings.

Built to Match Your Home

Natural stone, brick, stucco, or cast concrete — matched to your home's architecture so the fire feature feels like it was always meant to be there.

Safe, Worry-Free Warmth

Licensed pros handle every gas line. Permitted, pressure-tested, and inspected. Peace of mind built into every fire feature.

More Than a Fire Pit

Fire bowls that glow like lanterns. Linear troughs that line your patio edge. Fire tables that double as cocktail surfaces for the evening that stretches a little longer.

The Heart of Your Backyard

Full masonry fireplaces with mantels, stone veneer, and a crackle that makes people stay. The place everyone gathers when the sun goes down.

Built Right, Every Time

Proper clearances, non-combustible bases, and code-compliant installation. Every fire feature is permitted and inspected — so you can relax and enjoy the warmth.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How much does a fire pit cost?+
A gas fire pit with stone veneer starts around $3,500-$8,000 depending on size and materials. Wood-burning fire pits are $2,000-$5,000. Full outdoor fireplaces start at $8,000 and can reach $25,000+ for large masonry builds with stone veneer.
Gas or wood — which is better?+
Gas is more popular — instant on/off, no smoke, no cleanup, no storing firewood. Wood gives you the traditional crackle and is better for cooking. Many clients choose gas for convenience and add a separate wood-burning area for ambiance.
Can you run a gas line to my fire pit?+
Yes. We're licensed for gas fitting and run lines from your home's gas supply or a dedicated propane tank. All work is permitted, pressure-tested, and inspected.
How far should a fire pit be from my house?+
Building code requires 10-25 feet from structures for wood-burning, 5-10 feet for gas. We'll assess your space during the consultation and design accordingly.
Can I cook on my fire pit?+
Yes. We can design a fire pit with a cooking grate for wood-burning, or install a gas fire pit with a compatible cooking surface. We also build dedicated outdoor pizza ovens.
Do fire features need permits?+
Gas fire features require a plumbing/gas permit. Wood-burning features may require a building permit depending on size and local code. We handle all permits.

★★★★★

They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.
