Gas or Wood? Modern or Rustic? We'll Help You Choose.
Gas fire features are low-maintenance and convenient — flip a switch, instant fire, no smoke, no ash cleanup. Wood-burning pits offer a sensory experience that gas simply can't replicate. Both have their place depending on your HOA rules, usage habits, and aesthetic goals. AJ Criss walks through the trade-offs with you, then builds the fire feature to the structural standards required for a permanent, safe installation — including proper base prep, surrounding hardscape, and drainage.
The Gathering Spot Your Backyard Has Been Missing.
A well-placed fire pit shifts the center of gravity of an outdoor space. Suddenly the patio gets used after dark, evenings extend by hours, and people stay longer. The design decisions — gas versus wood, height, shape, surrounding seating — all influence whether it becomes a feature you use constantly or one that looks great in photos and collects leaves the rest of the time. AJ Criss helps you design a fire feature that fits the physical and social reality of how your backyard actually gets used.
