Decorative concrete has come a long way and is used in many shapes and forms. In this concrete fire pit we worked small pieces of black glass into the top of the concrete as it was drying and ground the surface later to expose the glass. Now when lit, the fire sparkles off the glass in the top of the fire pit. This fireplace is a beautiful focal point for the deck and can be seen from the kitchen and living room. In addition, the fireplace and flagstone seat help define this space and make it much more intimate and cozy. Gas drives this architectural fire pit and seating area. Gas fire pits are aesthetic and soothing and let you enjoy your landscape more of the year by taking the chill off spring and fall nights.
This large stone fire place has a built in flagstone hearth for sitting and the arbor adds enclosure to this space. Low voltage landscape lighting adds to the warmth of this area as it splashes upon the fascia rock and stucco walls in the background. These clients loved the mountains, and wanted to bring a little of into their backyard, so we used 8 tons of boulders to create this naturalistic fire pit and two benches. What a great place to gather and tell stories of adventure and travel! A custom burner for the fire pit was created so that the flames would flicker against the large boulder backstop. This stone fireplace can burn gas or wood and makes a beautiful focal point for the main patio.
Since the beginning of time humans have gathered around the fire to eat, drink, and socialize. There is no better way to enjoy this past time than to gather around an outdoor kitchen with some of your friends and family. A wood structure above helps frame the feature as well as has accent lighting, adding night time interest and making it easier to check the grilled meal. We used reclaimed brick to install this stainless steel cook top to match the existing brick in this Washington Park home. A nearby fire pit make a cozy area to enjoy appetizers and friends, anytime. The far patio has a built in cook top as well as a fireplace both constructed with cultured stone to match the house.
Colorado has over 300 days of sun a year, what a better way to enjoy them then by cooking outside. Outdoor kitchens are great to enjoy as well as add value to your home. This stone faced kitchen has running water and a refrigerator. Fire Places can be free standing or attached to the garage as in this landscape. It has a functioning chimney that is 14' high and adds to the grand scale of this fire feature and landscape. Landscape lighting can be seen throughout this outdoor living space and allows for enjoyment day and night. Concrete has been used here in a "pour in place" application. The walls of the outdoor kitchen were poured with special forms that used ties to create a unique architectural element. The countertop is poured with a special mix, acid stained, and then polished to a smooth finish. A Viking grill with TruSear™ infrared technology allows steaks to be seared on the outside and tender in the middle within a matter of minutes.
Outdoor living with all the creature comforts. This area is almost a room in itself. Close to 400 square feet of living space was created by using cinder block walls, stucco and stone. The pillars and walls help make the space more of a room than just a patio. The water feature is the focal point of the space but can be seen from the great room as well. The wood pergola adds a sense of enclosure and the nearby grill is easy to access allowing the cook to be close to their guests. Low voltage lighting and integrated audio system make this outdoor space a great place to unwind and enjoy the best of outdoor living here in Denver! This Wash Park backyard features a brick fire pit and built in grill with service area. Details can make or break a project. The brick home was built close to 100 years ago. Notice that we matched the brickwork flawlessly. The difference in selecting the right landscape contractor. Outdoor kitchens are a great way to enjoy our beautiful weather here in Colorado.
Fire Pits can be constructed out of many types of materials. Strip stone is a type of flagstone that is cut into 8" strips and is used in this fire feature. All of our fire features come with a gas adjustment valve to increase or decrease the size of the flame. The feature allows the client to adjust the flame and heat to the type of entertaining that they are having. Fire features can be designed in many different ways. This one was made to resemble a rustic style camp fire. Often, we integrate large boulders as seats. We converted this non-functional back porch into a great living space by transforming an existing wood burning bar b que into a cozy fire place with a small hearth. New windows and doors help keep the heat in and make this new space much more enjoyable.
