You want more than just a fire pit—you want a gathering spot that transforms your backyard into the place your family and friends actually want to spend time. A properly installed outdoor fire pit extends your entertaining season through those crisp fall evenings and cool spring nights when everyone else is stuck inside.
Your new fire pit becomes the natural focal point for everything from casual weeknight conversations to weekend s’mores sessions with the kids. No more crowding around a portable unit that tips over or produces more smoke than heat.
When it’s built right for Bohemia’s conditions, your fire pit handles Long Island’s changing weather without cracking, shifting, or becoming a maintenance headache. You get the warmth, ambiance, and gathering space you’ve been wanting—finally.
We’ve been building outdoor fire pits and masonry features across Nassau and Suffolk Counties since our early recognition in Cambridge Pavingstone’s magazine. Owner Iain Traynor brings union masonry experience from Local 1 Bricklayers and personally handles every estimate and project.
We’re licensed in Suffolk County, Nassau County, Southampton, and East Hampton because we understand the specific challenges of building on Long Island. Sandy soil, coastal moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles require different preparation and materials than what works inland.
Every fire pit we install includes proper excavation to 8-10 inches, engineered base layering, drainage planning, and edge restraint systems that prevent the shifting and cracking common with standard installations. You work directly with us throughout the process—no subcontractors, no runarounds.
Your project starts with an in-person consultation where we assess your space, discuss your vision, and explain what works best for your property’s specific conditions. We handle all Nassau County permits and coordinate any required inspections—you don’t deal with the paperwork.
Site preparation involves proper excavation and foundation work designed for Long Island’s sandy soil and drainage challenges. We install the base materials and drainage systems that prevent settling and water damage over time.
Construction uses quality materials from manufacturers like Cambridge, Techo-Bloc, and Unilock, installed by experienced masons who understand both the technical requirements and aesthetic details. Gas connections, if needed, are coordinated with licensed professionals and inspected according to local codes.
Your project wraps up with a final walkthrough and cleanup, plus guidance on proper use and maintenance to keep your fire pit looking and functioning like new for years.

Your fire pit installation includes everything needed for safe, long-lasting operation in Bohemia’s specific environment. We handle permit applications, site preparation, proper foundation work, and all construction using materials rated for Long Island’s coastal conditions and temperature variations.
Gas fire pits include professional connections and required safety inspections, while wood-burning options incorporate proper clearance distances and spark management systems. Built-in seating, decorative stonework, and integrated lighting can be included based on your preferences and space.
Every installation meets Nassau County setback requirements and safety regulations. Wood-burning fire pits require 15-25 feet from structures, while gas units can often be placed as close as 10 feet with proper safety measures. We ensure your fire pit complies with local codes while maximizing your usable outdoor space.
The finished result handles Bohemia’s weather patterns—from summer humidity to winter freeze-thaw cycles—without the cracking, settling, or maintenance issues common with DIY or improperly installed units.
Most permanent fire pit installations in Nassau County require permits, especially for gas-powered units. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including all paperwork and coordination with local authorities for required inspections.
The permitting process typically takes 2-3 weeks to complete. While some portable wood-burning fire pits may be exempt depending on size and location, we always verify current regulations for your specific property to ensure full compliance with Nassau County fire safety codes and setback requirements.
Custom fire pit installation costs vary based on size, materials, and design complexity. Basic installations with standard materials typically start around $2,500, while premium designs featuring built-in seating, gas connections, and high-end finishes range from $5,000 to $8,000 or more.
Factors affecting cost include fuel type (gas installations require additional utility work), size and shape, material selection, and site-specific challenges like drainage or access. We provide transparent, itemized estimates after evaluating your space and discussing your specific requirements and preferences.
Gas fire pits offer modern convenience with instant on/off control, clean burning, and consistent heat output. They require minimal maintenance, produce no ash cleanup, and meet stricter safety regulations allowing closer placement to homes in Nassau County’s suburban neighborhoods.
Wood-burning fire pits provide classic campfire ambiance with crackling flames and natural wood aroma, but require regular ash removal, proper wood storage, and must follow stricter setback rules due to sparks and smoke concerns. We assess your property layout, local codes, and intended use to recommend the best fuel type for your lifestyle and space.
Fire pit placement in Nassau County depends on fuel type and local regulations. Wood-burning fire pits typically require 15-25 feet of clearance from structures due to sparks and radiant heat concerns, while gas fire pits may be installed as close as 10 feet in many areas with proper safety measures.
We evaluate your property’s specific layout, existing structures, and local code requirements to determine optimal placement that maximizes safety while making the best use of your outdoor space. Proper placement also considers wind patterns, neighbor proximity, and integration with existing landscaping or hardscaping features.

We use materials rated for Long Island’s climate variations and install proper foundation systems that prevent the settling, cracking, and water damage common with standard installations. This preparation ensures your fire pit maintains its structural integrity and appearance through years of seasonal weather changes without requiring constant repairs or maintenance.
Most fire pit installations take 2-4 days to complete, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Gas fire pits may require an additional day or two for utility coordination and required inspections, while wood-burning installations can often be completed more quickly.
