You’ll host memorable evenings where friends and family naturally gravitate toward the warmth and ambiance of your custom fire pit. No more retreating indoors when temperatures drop—your outdoor space becomes usable through fall, winter, and those crisp spring nights.
Your home value increases too. Properties with professionally installed fire features sell 2.8 days faster than homes without them, and you’ll see that investment pay off whether you’re staying put or planning to sell.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your fire pit was built to handle Long Island’s sandy soil, coastal moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed DIY projects.
We’ve been solving Long Island’s unique outdoor construction challenges since we opened. Owner Iain Traynor brings union masonry experience and stays directly involved in every estimate, plan, and installation.
We’re licensed across Suffolk and Nassau Counties, certified by Cambridge, Techo-Bloc, Unilock, Nicolock, Eldorado, and Boral. That means we know which materials and techniques actually work in Brentwood’s conditions.
You won’t deal with automated systems or rotating crews. Our consistent teams handle your project from excavation to final cleanup, and Iain personally oversees the work that goes into your backyard.
We start with an in-person estimate where we assess your space, discuss your vision, and explain what’s needed for a proper installation in Brentwood’s soil conditions. No pressure, no surprises—just straight talk about what your project requires.
Next comes excavation to 8-10 inches deep, which is crucial for Long Island installations. We create proper base layering with drainage planning that prevents water buildup and frost damage. Edge restraint installation reduces shifting and cracking over time.
Your fire pit gets built using manufacturer specifications with materials designed for our coastal climate. We handle gas line connections if you’re going that route, or create proper ventilation for wood-burning designs. Final inspection ensures everything meets our standards before we hand over your new outdoor centerpiece.

Your fire pit installation includes everything needed for Long Island’s challenging conditions. We excavate to proper depth, install drainage systems with gravel backfill and weep holes, and use manufacturer-certified materials that handle coastal moisture and temperature swings.
You choose from wood-burning, natural gas, or propane fuel options. Wood-burning gives you that authentic campfire experience, while gas options provide instant-on convenience without smoke concerns that sometimes trouble Brentwood neighbors.
Custom sizing and materials match your existing landscape and home style. Whether you want an intimate family gathering spot or a larger entertainment area, we design your fire pit to fit your space and lifestyle. Stone, brick, or paver options complement your existing patio or create a new focal point in your yard.
Fire pit installation typically ranges from $2,500 to $8,000 depending on size, materials, and fuel type. Wood-burning fire pits start lower, while gas installations require additional costs for line connections and permits.
The price includes proper excavation, drainage systems, and materials designed for Long Island conditions. We provide detailed estimates during our in-person consultation so you know exactly what’s included before any work begins.
Most fire pit installations require permits in Brentwood, especially for gas connections or permanent structures. Permit costs range from $50 to $500 depending on the project scope.
We handle permit applications as part of our service since we know local requirements and have established relationships with Brentwood building departments. This ensures your installation meets all safety codes and passes inspection on the first try.
Sandy soil actually creates drainage challenges that many contractors don’t address properly. We excavate deeper than standard installations and create specialized base layers with proper drainage systems.
Our approach includes gravel backfill, weep holes, and edge restraints specifically designed for Long Island’s soil conditions. This prevents the settling, shifting, and water damage that destroys improperly installed fire pits after one winter season.
Most fire pit installations take 2-4 days depending on complexity and weather conditions. Simple wood-burning pits on existing patios install faster, while custom gas installations with new patio areas take longer.
We schedule installations during optimal weather windows and keep you informed of progress throughout the project. Our consistent crews work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that ensure your fire pit lasts for decades.
Yes, we frequently install fire pits on existing paver patios. We assess the current patio’s condition and drainage to determine if additional preparation is needed.
Sometimes we build directly over existing pavers, other times we create a concrete footing for added stability. The approach depends on your patio’s age, materials, and current drainage situation. We explain the best option during your consultation.
Wood-burning fire pits provide authentic campfire ambiance with crackling sounds and wood smoke aroma. They require no utility connections but need seasoned firewood and produce ash that requires cleanup.
Gas fire pits offer instant ignition, adjustable flames, and no smoke or ash. They require natural gas line installation or propane tank connections. Gas options work better in neighborhoods where smoke might bother nearby residents, which can be a consideration in Brentwood’s closer-knit areas.
