Fire Pit Design Tips & Trends in Orange County

nfd_w_res_bel2015_walls_firepits_tandemwall_002_preview

Fire pits continue to rise in popularity, and it’s no wonder. There’s just something about gathering around a fire that’s inherently human. A fire pit  instantly becomes everyone’s favorite gathering spot. It’s the ideal place to relax, unwind, tell stories, and get to know one another on a deeper level. If you’re thinking of adding a fire pit to your backyard, there are a lot of options to consider before you begin.

Decision 1: Mobile or Built-In

Many people opt for a mobile fire pit that can be moved around to various locations. Movable fire pits are certainly less expensive than a built-in pit, come in a wide variety of designs, and have the added benefit of portability. The primary drawback, however, is that a movable fire pit tends to only last a season or two before the materials begin to deteriorate.

An in-ground fire pit can be a cost-effective option.

Decision 2: In-Ground or Above-Ground

An in-ground fire pit can be cost-effective, however above-ground pits are more common. One trend is to create a “sunken living room” design for an above-ground fire pit. This offers the added benefit of built-in seating. In addition, the surrounding wall can act either as a wind barrier or a heat reflector, creating a warm and cozy room.

Decision 3: Gas, Wood or Hybrid

There are a number of benefits to a gas fire pit. It’s easy to start, there’s no mess, there’s no smoke, and it can be placed closer to the house. For purists, however, burning wood is one of the primal reasons to even have a fire pit. For the best of both worlds, consider a wood-burning fire pit with a gas starter. One popular trend is to install a gas starter with a switch that can be operated either locally, from inside the house, or with a mobile app.

Decision 4: Placement

An above-ground pit becomes a focal point of your outdoor living design. Be sure and place it where it balances with other large design elements. A gas fire pit can be placed just about anywhere, but a wood-burning pit will need to be at least 10 feet away from any structure. Before putting in a permanent fire pit, check for wind patterns that may cause potential smoke issues. Also, remember to leave ample room for seating around the pit.

This sunken fire pit room uses a combination of natural stone and manufactured hardscapes.

Decision 5: Materials and Shape

Above-ground fire pits can be constructed from a variety of materials. The most popular options are brick, natural stone and concrete blocks, such as Belgard retaining wall products. Although design options are endless, most fire pits are either round or square. One reason has to do with the shape of standard fire pit liners. Fire pit liners are highly recommended and may be required by your local municipality. In addition to adding a finished look, a steel liner keeps excessive amounts of heat from absorbing into the surrounding stone. By reflecting the heat up and out, it adds to the life of the stone and creates a safer environment. It also increases the feeling of warmth for those around the fire.

Decision 6: Seating Options

Built-in seating is currently one of the top trends in outdoor living and makes an excellent addition to a fire pit design. Some people like to place seat walls four feet away from the fire pit, which allows for walking room. Others prefer a three-foot distance, which can allow you to prop your feet on the ledge of the pit. If using seat walls, consider leaving one or two sides open. This will allow for the option of furniture placement, which softens the look and adds interest to the design. To add comfort and color to seat walls, use a variety of throws and outdoor pillows.

The combination of built-in seat walls and open seating provides ample seating space an accommodates those who want to control their seating distance in relation to the fire.

New Year, New Paver Yard

Backyard-Patio-Blue-Outdoor-Furniture-Orange-County.jpgPaver patio remodel in Irvine, Ca

Most New Year resolutions tend to be about changing, growing, and investing in oneself for the better. We look inside and outside of ourselves to decide what we need to let go of, what we need to add, and what we need to improve upon to make life better for both ourselves and those around us.

“New yard” resolutions should take the same direction. It’s time to take stock of what you’d like to accomplish this year. Whether your goals are to increase your curb appeal, improve drainage, or create a new outdoor entertaining area, the process can sometimes seem overwhelming at first. Take it one step at a time.

Get inspired.

Sometimes we get so accustomed to how our yard currently looks, we have trouble imagining it any other way. It’s time to get clicking.

  • West Hills Pavers Pinterest Boards
  • A look back at some of our favorite home projects
  • West Hills Pavers Patio Remodels Photo Gallary

Set concrete goals.

When investing in your yard, you want to get the most return on that investment, both while you live in the home and once you sell it. Know why you want to make these changes. What goals are you trying to accomplish? How can you improve your environment and your lifestyle in a meaningful way? Think both long term and short term. If you have a larger overall plan that you want to phase out over time, save yourself time, money, and headaches by putting the entire plan together now.

Get expert advise.

Develop a relationship with an Authorized Belgard Contractor for the Orange County area who can help you with your long-term plan and knows what will work and won’t work with regards to your goals. For projects that will be phased out, a qualified contractor can help you pre-plan critical preliminary work that you will need to have in place for a later project down the road.

Get started.

Depending on where you live, January may not be the best time to start digging  in your yard. But, you can get started with some of the decision-making processes…choosing a contractor, working on a design, choosing pavers or retaining wall products, researching costs. Once your plan is in place, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running when the time comes.

Just Some of the Things We Do in Orange County, CA

 we-do-pavers-driveway-remodels-orange-county.png We Do Paver Driveway Remodels!

When it comes to remodeling your "welcome mat," nobody does it better than West Hills Pavers. As anyone knows, concrete driveways stain easily, crack over time, and have no easy fix available. Pavers, however, provide an aesthetically pleasing, incredibly durable, and   easily fixable option if damaged. They can also withstand the elements from major rainfall to those hot, dry seasons. Pavers come in many different colors, shapes, and styles to fit any home-style. When you're ready to have your driveway greet you upon arrival, let us know how we can help.

We Do Paver Backyard Remodels!

Your backyard is your get-away, and is truly an extension of your home. Outdoor living is practically synonymous with the Orange County lifestyle.

We can take care of every dimension of your "outdoor room:" patio remodeling, fire pits, retaining walls, outdoor fireplaces, pool deck remodeling, BBQ installations, custom outdoor kitchens, and even coverings.

 

 

 we-do-bbq-installation-orange-county.png  We Do BBQ Installations & Outdoor Kitchens!

 You're the grill master, the host with the most, the "lean, mean, grilling machine."

Every backyard is unique, much like their homeowners, and we want to create an outdoor food prep and dining area that caters to all of your friends, neighbors and family.

We Do Artificial Grass Installation! we-do-artificial-grass-installation-orange-county.png

Many Orange County residents are unaware that installing artificial grass is virtually the same process as installing pavers. Therefore, since pavers is what we do best, that means artificial grass is what we do best too! With recent water restrictions, homeowners are no longer forced to settle for brown lawns. Pavers and artificial grass are a pairing that makes any home look renewed, and requires no water maintenance at all. This is a great way to do your part for the community while maintaining a great looking yard and home you can truly be proud of. It's a win for you, California, and especially your wallet.

 

  

we-do-pool-remodels-orange-county.png  We Do Paver Pool Remodels!

You have a pool because you want to relax and/or play in your very own water paradise. After all, you work hard...you splash hard too. Be that as it may, over time your pool may have started to look outdated, or even damaged throughout the years. It may not even hold water efficiently like it's supposed to. A paver remodel for your pool creates a safer surface to prevent slipping, coupled with an attractive look that never goes out-of-style! Let us help give your pool the facelift it deserves. We can ensure that you're not wasting water so that you can get back to enjoying life. You can be sure we'll remodel a great pool you can be proud to call your own.

We Offer Free & Easy Financing for your Home Pavers Project!

We know your home project is important to you, and we don't want money to stand in the way of that. That's why we have partnered with EnerBank USA, the preferred lender of choice when it comes to virtually any home improvement project. So look into the Same-As-Cash option with no interest and no monthly payments for up to 24 months, along with traditional installment plan options. Whatever your financial status, we'll work hard with you to find an option that truly is best for you and your family to make your house a home — and without breaking the bank. 

Orange_County_free_home_project_financing.png

Here are some of the reasons EnerBank’s unsecured home improvement loans make sense:

  • No waiting.  Get the entire project you want completed now the way you want it, instead of waiting to save up the cash.

  • Flexibility.  Styles, prices, and models of pavers change frequently. Avoid product and other changes by completing your entire project now instead of in stages.

  • Unbeatable payment options.  More ways to pay for your home improvement project. Ask your contractor about all your choices.

  • Financial flexibility.  If your circumstances change, you may need cash reserves as a back-up plan for life’s necessities.
