Fire Pits

Create Your Perfect Outdoor Gathering Space

Turn Your Backyard into a Year-Round Retreat

At California Pools & Landscape, we craft features that complement any outdoor fire pit.

Find the Right Type of Fire Pit for Your Space

The shape and style of your outdoor fire feature influence how people gather and how it integrates into your backyardโ€™s overall design. Whether you're creating an intimate fire table setting or a statement piece for entertaining, choosing the right type enhances both aesthetics and function. Our options run on natural gas or propane, making them clean and easy to use. We select only premium materials to ensure your outdoor living space looks stunning and lasts for years.

Circular Fire Pits

Circular Fire Pits

Round designs create a classic campfire feel where everyone can see each other. These work exceptionally well when you want to:

  • Host intimate gatherings with family and friends
  • Create a casual, relaxed atmosphere
  • Encourage everyone to join the conversation
  • Make the most of open yard spaces

A circular fire pit naturally draws people into a circle, making it easier to talk and connect.

Rectangular Fire Pits

Rectangular Fire Pits

Linear designs add a sleek, contemporary look to any outdoor area. These are ideal when you want to:

  • Create a bold design statement
  • Match with modern outdoor furniture
  • Line up seating on two sides
  • Fit the feature into a narrower space

Many luxury hotels and upscale restaurants choose rectangular designs for their clean lines and striking appearance.

Square Fire Pits

Square Fire Pits

Square designs offer the best of both worlds with their even, balanced look. These work particularly well when you want to:

  • Fit neatly into corner seating arrangements
  • Create a strong focal point
  • Match with square or cube-shaped outdoor furniture
  • Blend traditional warmth with modern design

The square shape is the most versatile and works in almost any yard layout.


Why Choose Gas Over Wood

When setting up your gas feature, you can connect to your home's gas line for constant fuel or use a propane tank cover to hide the tank while maintaining easy access. Don't forget to add a quality fire pit cover to protect your investment when it's not in use. This simple addition significantly extends the life of your outdoor feature. Gas-powered options (using natural gas or a propane fire pit) offer significant advantages over traditional wood-burning fire pits:
Image

Adjustable Heat

Control the flame height and intensity easily.
Image

Clean Experience

No smoke, ash, or messy cleanup.
Image

Neighborhood-Friendly

Many communities restrict wood fires but allow gas options.
Image

Environmentally Better

Produces fewer emissions and particulates.

Styles to Match Your Home

Contemporary Designs, Clean and Bold

Contemporary Designs, Clean and Bold

Contemporary designs are clean, bold, and rooted in precision. Modern features include straight edges, minimalist burners, and premium materials like glass fiber-reinforced concrete. Cool-toned color palettesโ€”think blacks, grays, and whitesโ€”pair with sleek glass fire media and seamless integration into prism hardscapes.
Natural Designs, Warm and Inviting

Natural Designs, Warm and Inviting

Natural designs are warm, inviting, and timeless. Traditional options feature textured stone surfaces, earthy colors, and rustic finishes that age beautifully. With curved seating and elements that blend into the surrounding landscape, these fire features create a cozy, classic atmosphere that never goes out of style.

Multi-Functional Options

Fire tables offer the perfect blend of functionality and ambiance, combining the best elements of outdoor furniture and flame features. With flat surfaces designed for setting down food and drinks, they become natural gathering spots for entertaining. Many designs include wide ledges, providing a comfortable place to rest your feet or even additional seating when needed.

Hidden storage compartments keep propane tanks discreetly tucked away, maintaining a clean and seamless aesthetic. Available in various heights, from coffee tables to bar heights, fire tables adapt to different outdoor setups, making them ideal for both casual evenings and upscale entertaining. Durability is key, and materials like concrete fire pit tables withstand heat and weather conditions while maintaining a sleek and modern look.

From the day I choose CA Pools & Landscape through project completion, I have always been impressed. They are a TRUE Design-Build team with open communication and transparency. This ensures the customer is always up to speed with any changes. Steve R (Design), Steve D (Construction) along with Jordan, Gabe (Startup) are amazing with their approach. Sara D is the glue that binds it all together. With all the trades involved and ever changing decisions (mostly from me), she was instrumental in keeping the process moving. From initial design to a finished pool, spa landscape package built in less than 2.5 months is Amazing! I will highly recommend them to anyone in need.

California Pools was awesome to work with. Our Project Manager Ted made us feel like family and was quick to answer any questions we had no matter the time. Dustin also made sure all questions related to the construction were answered. Lots of moving parts and Ted and his team didn't miss a beat. We are beyond happy and excited with our new pool!!

Hire CA pools for your pool/spa project. CA pools came well-recommended by friends here in the Phoenix-metro area. From the first time our salesman, Stephen Reichmuth, walked through our front door until project completion, my wife and I have been very impressed with the speed of construction, quality, and finished product. Sarese Ferguson from the local office regularly emailed us about construction scheduling and patiently/ professionally answered our questions. I was very pleased with our construction supervisor, Sean Beavers, who came to our site almost every day to insure we were happy with progress. Sean is a very positive, patient person and an obvious expert in his field. He gets things done. Our pool was completed one month ahead of schedule! CA Pools exceeded our expectations at every step of construction. We now have a beautiful pool that has beautifully transformed our backyard, and is a lot of fun to use. We could not be happier.

CP designed and built our pool several years ago. We love it! On the rare occasion we have had a seal go bad or pump problems, we have been very happy with the service. They return calls or emails promptly and have someone at our residence within 24-48 hours. They follow up after the service to make sure we are satisfied and that everything is working. I strongly recommend California Pools!

We had gone thru multiple companies to get a quote and it was so frustrating that none of them could get our vision right. We kept explaining that we wanted modern, simple, etc. and they kept giving us these outrageous designs, tripling our budget. California pools, Ryan and Duane specifically listened, created a design that we LOVED and followed through with the construction process. The communication with california pool was top tier. The overall pool & equipment was done so well. It was such a great experience and we are SO happy with our entire backyard now.

Love our new pool and back yard. California pools staff helped us all the way with great design ideas and site layout. The installation was handled on schedule, the crews that came to the house were professional and good to deal with. Harscape crew was awesome and the landscaping crew helped us with ideas for other parts of our yard. The tile work was amazing and everyone worked very hard to stay on schedule. Cannot say enough good things about the process and the results!

We did as most customers do and shopped around before ultimately choosing California Pools. We had a few communication issues with our initial design before it was finalized but overall we had a great experience with California Pools. Our project looks amazing and family and friends all mention the great workmanship of the pool, the Ramada and the travertine deck. The entire Cal Pools team was great but there are a few individuals who we must mention. Thank you to Grace Johnson for the assistance, direction and patients in getting our project financed. Even though our project started the day after Thanksgiving we had no major delays. Scheduling through the entire process was easy since Myra Olson kept us in the loop and constantly informed from the onset of the project. It was great to be able to send her an email with questions or concerns and receive a response immediately almost every time. All the crews were very friendly and professional but we have to acknowledge Matt and the masonry crew. Julio and his team did an excellent job with the masonry portion of the Ramada and an excellent job with the travertine paver decking. Great, great attention to detail. We would be remiss if we didn't mention our project manager Pete Barrera. He made himself so accessible and returned calls and emails without hesitation. He dealt with every question or concern we had and that made this experience that much better. I'm sure he had other projects to deal with but he always made us feel like our project was his priority. The fact that he visited the site almost daily even if just for a few minutes helped minimize the number of items on the punch list. Thank you! We definitely recommend California Pools

I recently had some warranty work completed. The work consisted of replacing some tumbled travertine that had worn away around the edges, replacing the irrigation clock and replacing some travertine pool coping. Previously my spa light needed replacing which was done within 5 days of reporting the claim. The Warranty Manager Michael, Warranty coordinator Cari and Edgar ( person who actually did the work with one helper). As usual Cal Pools delivered in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend Cal Pools for having a fair price, superb warranty and pleasant people to deal with. We always speak highly of this customer focused organization!

My husband and I are thrilled with our new pool! We initially met with Mike Lillis who drew up a great design for us. He was so easy to work with and spent time with us to come up with the most amazing pool and spa while keeping within the budget we had set. Once everything was rolling it was a steady and fast process. Shawn was always on the ball and oversaw the project. Marcee was amazing with all the email correspondence, because I always liked knowing who was coming next. It really was such a great experience and I highly recommend California Pools.

We started our process contacting 5-6 pool companies. Cal pools was the first company we contacted and our designer was Christopher Robinson. He had a design and prices within a couple hours. Contacted the other companies and no one even had a design within a week let alone prices for me. Chris was absolutely fantastic in every way possible. Any change we made he would have a new design and price almost immediately. There was a lack of communication in the middle of the build where we couldnโ€™t get a hold of the construction manager or scheduler, I contacted Chris and he said that wasnโ€™t right and he made sure someone reached out to me the very next day. They switched our schedule coordinator after that to a lady named Vina Ortega. Vina was a superstar for us. Her communication, knowledge, and all around customer service was top notch. Both Chris and Vina seemed genuinely happy for our family. I would highly recommend Cal pools. We are happy customers. Thank You!

We had shopped around, and working with a tight budget, California Pools & Landscape were the only ones willing to work with what we had. The sales person, Mort, was so helpful, and made this project much easier than we expected. We loved the 3D pictures that he provided as we were designing the pool. That made it so much easier to imagine, and nailed it dead on. We were able to get more than what we thought we would be able to afford, and have to say that the entire family was happy. Choosing the colors I thought was going to be difficult, but Mort made it a family event. Coming out with samples, taking us outside with a glass bowl of water, we were able to get a feel of how the different finishes would look. (Have to say a BIG thanks to Mort for standing outside with us that day, it was 114 degrees) From the start, Steve the project supervisor, came out and explained what the process was going to be. The communication between myself and everyone I dealt with at California Pools couldn't have been better. After each process, Steve came out to make sure that the work was done properly. We really appreciated the attention that they gave to the quality of the work being done, making sure every step was completed correctly. We have been enjoying our California Pool for 1 month now, and the kids are enjoying it every day. We would like to express our thanks to California Pools for working with us, knowing we were on a budget, and making our backyard enjoyable for family.

We had an error message pop up on our screen regarding our salt cell which we clean regularly the first of every month. Called Cal Pools it did take 3 weeks to get an appointment but when Alan came out he was professional and very informative! While we had been cleaning the salt cell every month with the pressure hose but we were not letting it soak in muric acid as he showed me how to do. This was something that was not told to us upon the initial review of the system. He replaced it and made sure everything was working great and he was impressed on how well we have taken care of the pool except for this little mishap and for that there was no charge for the replacement and trip out. Though going over the system with him was very informative, i video taped the first initial review of all the working parts but several things were not spoken of/discussed at that time. I recommend doing a yearly review with customers to make sure everything is going well. Big shot out to Alan!

We are thrilled with our pool and landscaping! We went with California Pools because they did EVERYTHING! They transformed a small, very plain backyard into our own little oasis with a freeform pool complete with a Baja Shelf, lighting, landscaping, and a soothing water feature. Leann Madar kept us well informed on what was happening and when. Matt Sauer got us started with a beautiful plan and Matt White checked on us all along the way, making sure we were satisfied, feeling comfortable, and answering our many questions. Each team in the construction of the pool and yard did their part in this project in a timely fashion and the worksite was kept tidy throughout. Todd Stewart was extremely patient and helpful in teaching us how to care for our pool and Luis is continuing to assist us with the new plants.

We couldn't be happier with the completed pool installed by Cal Pools. Granted, it took some time, with material shortages, labor challenges and weather, but the pros at Cal Pools didn't waiver from their commitment to us to deliver a professionally installed pool. The contractors showed up on time, cleaned up as the worked and treated our property as their own. We were referred to Cal Pools by our good friends. This is our 5th pool build and we were pretty sure we knew what we wanted. David Love, our designer, laid out exactly what we described. This is NO PLAY POOL. 26' wide, 48' long and 3.5'-10' deep with an elevated diving board. 67,000 gallons of water. We highly recommend Cal Pools and if you have an option, choose David Love for design. He also has a great sense of humor.

At the start of our process, we were looking for the least expensive route available. As things went along in our research process, we decided we didn't want to pay more than we had to, but we also wanted to ensure it was done right. We decided there was great value in things like excellent customer service, quality work, good communicaiton, accessibility and flexibility from our sales guy, Dave Grau. He truly listened to what we wanted from a pool and backyard, provided an initial plan, listened to our feedback and gave us several adjusted plans. He suggested Kool Deck over concrete (which we went with) and supported our decision for an in-floor cleaning system, provided suggestions on low maintenance plants (as we knew little about desert landscape options), etc. As the project progressed we really appreciated the updates from Sarah Dougan and the expertise from Sean Bradburn. The cost was somewhat higher than the other couple places we looked into but, as I said before, we wanted it done right and done promptly and CPL was able to get in while the house was being built. It was worth it to us!

I wish to express my thanks and gratitude for the service quality I experienced from dealing with California Pools and especially Leslie Gallegos and to Todd the Technichan. Their efforts in response, communication and professional repair are commendable. My compliments to the company, and these two individuals who represent the company.

My Dream Pool - Polynesian Paradise in AZ! I obtained three quotes before deciding to move forward with California Pools to build my dream pool, and I have absolutely no regrets. One of the many important aspects of trusting a pool company with my yard and money was the requirement of excellent communication. When obtaining quotes, the other pool companies did not follow up with me or did so far too late after on-site visits and lots of my time invested; however, from the very beginning of the initial pool design and layout (Thank you to the late, Scott Greenbank) every aspect of getting the pool built I was informed each and every step of the way, whether is was the scheduling of various stages, or even delays. The CPL app was an excellent resource to keep me up to date on everything and when I needed extra details or information, Alex Barone-Jay was always there with an answer for me in a timely manner as were the friendly staff in the Queen Creek Office. In fact, each person associated with my pool build was an expert in their craft and it was fun and fascinating to watch it come to life over several months. I struck gold with having Adam Redding as my Pool Supervisor/Superintendent. Adam is knowledgeable and personable and ensured to follow up on all the stages of the build and for those reasons I never worried about anything! The end result was exactly what I wanted and dreamed of for the pool. It was a pleasure and I'm so grateful to California Pools for not only this pool, but for the continued support and follow up when I had questions or needed anything!

We are very happy with California pools quality of work and customer service. Since the pool has been installed we have had some minor corrections and repairs to the pool.

Coordinated imagine concrete out promptly to repair and fix the problem. Thank you again California pools.

We requested bids for a new pool build from 4 different companies and chose California Pools due to their professionalism and word of mouth reviews. They were very upfront with the timeframe of the build times and walked us through what to expect. Our project manager Christian Pierre and our construction manager Jordan Thrasher we're fantastic to work with. They were always prompt at responding to any questions we had and made the entire project run extremely smooth. Each phase of the project was completed on or before the estimated dates and the contractors that did work were always courteous and did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier with the pool and they did a top notch job! We couldn't have made a better decision by choosing this company to do our pool.

As an update... We completed my pool last year and we love it. We did have a problem with the performance of the heater and its internal controls, and Bianca at Cal Pools has been very responsive in getting technicians out the next day as needed, and they stayed involved until the issues were resolved. While I wish I wouldn't have had the issue in the first place, it happens... and I was happy with their good customer service after the sale.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Features


Q: How much should I budget for a quality outdoor fire feature?

For a basic stand-alone model from retail vendors, prices start at around $1,500. Custom-built-in designs with quality materials and professional installation range from $3,500 to $10,000 or more. The most important factors affecting cost are:
  • Size and shape
  • Materials used (natural stone costs more than concrete)
  • Gas line installation needs
  • Custom features like lighting or water elements
  • Built-in seating around the feature

Q: Which shape works best for conversation?

Circular fire pits create the most inclusive seating arrangement where everyone can see each other easily. Their round shape naturally encourages conversation between all guests. Square designs work well for smaller groups, while rectangular options are better for side-by-side seating arrangements.

Q: Is a gas line worth the extra installation cost?

Yes, for most homeowners. While adding a gas line increases initial costs by $500-$1,500, it eliminates the ongoing expense and hassle of propane tank refills. A gas line connection provides unlimited fuel without interruption, making your outdoor feature always ready to use. This convenience is why most permanent installations use natural gas when available.

Q: How far should my fire feature be from my house?

Always check local building codes first, but generally:
  • Keep at least 10-15 feet from any structure
  • Allow 7 feet of clear space overhead (no tree branches)
  • Place at least 10 feet from property lines
  • Keep 10 feet away from pool edges for safety
Many homeowners place their outdoor fire features in the transition zone between their patio and lawn for the best views and safety.

Q: Does adding a fire feature really increase home value?

Yes! According to real estate studies, outdoor fire features return 150-400% of their cost when selling a home. A National Association of Realtors survey found that they rank in the top three most desired outdoor features for homebuyers. Beyond monetary value, they create an emotional connection that helps potential buyers envision themselves enjoying the space.

Q: What's better, a traditional fire pit or a fire table?

It depends on how you'll use it:
Choose a traditional design when:
  • Maximum heat output is important
  • You want a classic campfire look
  • The fire itself is the main attraction
  • You have other tables nearby
Choose a fire table when:
  • You need surfaces for drinks and snacks
  • You want a piece that functions as furniture
  • You entertain frequently
  • You prefer a modern, multi-purpose design
Some homeowners install both a traditional pit for casual gatherings and a fire table near dining areas for elegant entertaining.

Q: What materials last the longest?

Cast concrete, natural stone, and metals like stainless steel or copper offer the best longevity. Glass fiber-reinforced concrete has become increasingly popular because it combines the substantial feel of stone with better crack resistance. For metal components, marine-grade stainless steel (316 grade) provides the best corrosion resistance, especially in coastal areas.
