5 Fire Pit Ideas to Elevate Your DFW Backyard

April 1, 2024

Adding a fire pit to your backyard is one of the best ways to create warmth, atmosphere, and an inviting space for gatherings. Whether you're hosting a fall cookout, sharing s’mores with family, or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, a fire pit makes it better.

At Texscape Solutions & Exteriors, we design and build custom fire pits for DFW homeowners that are both functional and visually stunning. Here are five fire pit ideas to inspire your next outdoor upgrade.

1. Classic Round Stone Fire Pit

A round, built-in fire pit made of natural stone or brick is a timeless choice. It fits easily into any landscape design and encourages 360-degree seating, making it ideal for social gatherings.

We often surround these with matching stone or paver patios, creating a seamless and stylish backyard feature.

Perfect For: Traditional homes, family gatherings, and casual outdoor entertaining.

2. Modern Square or Rectangular Fire Pit

Clean lines and geometric shapes give your outdoor space a sleek, contemporary feel. These fire pits often use smooth concrete, steel, or large-format pavers, and they can be built flush with the ground or raised for visual interest.

Texscape can integrate built-in bench seating or lighting to elevate the overall look and function.

Perfect For: Modern homes, minimalist landscapes, or homeowners who want a polished aesthetic.

3. Gas Fire Pit with Built-In Ignition

If you want the ambiance without the hassle, a gas-powered fire pit is the way to go. With instant ignition and no cleanup, it’s the ultimate low-maintenance luxury.

We can hide propane tanks or connect to a natural gas line to keep your design clean and clutter-free.

Perfect For: Homeowners who want convenience and clean-burning efficiency.

4. Fire Pit with Integrated Seating Wall

Built-in seating walls around your fire pit not only look beautiful—they create durable, low-maintenance seating that enhances the fire pit’s function and flow. These are great for larger yards or entertaining zones where you want defined areas.

We match the stone, brick, or concrete with other hardscape features for a cohesive outdoor living space.

Perfect For: Large gatherings, parties, and functional design lovers.

5. Sunken Fire Pit for a Resort-Like Vibe

For a dramatic, cozy feel, a sunken fire pit creates a destination within your backyard. Step-down designs offer wind protection and a true lounge-like experience.

Texscape ensures proper drainage, seating layout, and safety clearances, making these beautiful and long-lasting.

Perfect For: Show-stopping yards, custom homes, and those who want a unique backyard feature.
