Custom Fire Pits and Outdoor Fireplaces in Colorado Springs, CO Built for Year-Round Backyard Use
Work with a fire pit contractor who builds custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces for evenings that start well before summer ends.
A Fire Pit Contractor Building for Cool Colorado Evenings
Colorado Springs evenings cool off fast, even in summer, which is exactly why hiring a fire pit contractor ranks among the most requested moves for a backyard here. Hiner Outdoor Living has built custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces since 2008 for homeowners across Black Forest, Briargate, Castle Pines, and Castle Rock who want a backyard that works past sunset and past September.
A fire pit and an outdoor fireplace solve different problems. A fire pit centers casual, low seating around an open flame, ideal for a paver patio gathering space. An outdoor fireplace is a taller, vertical structure that directs heat and works better as a defined focal point against a wall or backdrop.

Custom Fire Pits Designed Around Your Backyard, Not a Standard Kit
As outdoor fireplace builders and fire pit builders, our team designs each feature around the surrounding space rather than dropping in a prefabricated unit. That means sizing a fire pit to the seating area it serves, positioning an outdoor fireplace to work with prevailing wind patterns common on Front Range properties, and matching materials to whatever patio or retaining wall already anchors the space.
Belgard products and natural stone both hold up to Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles when installed correctly, but they read very differently. Natural stone suits a more organic, mountain-adjacent landscape, while engineered block gives cleaner lines for a modern build.
As a fire pit contractor, we also pair fire features naturally with landscape lighting, since most fire pit and outdoor fireplace use happens after dark. Coordinating the two during design avoids the common problem of a beautifully lit fire feature surrounded by an otherwise dark yard.
Outdoor Fireplace Contractor Built to Extend Your Season
A well-built fire feature turns three or four extra months of usable backyard time into a full three seasons, sometimes longer, depending on how it's positioned and built. That's the outcome most homeowners are actually after when they start searching for fire pit builders or an outdoor fireplace contractor, more time outside, not just a fire feature for its own sake.
Every Hiner fire pit and outdoor fireplace is built with proper clearances, ventilation, and fire-rated materials specific to the piece, so the finished feature is both code-compliant and built to handle years of regular use.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A fire pit is a low, open feature built around casual seating, while an outdoor fireplace is a taller vertical structure that directs heat and creates a defined focal point in the backyard. Fire pits suit patios centered on conversation and s'mores nights, while outdoor fireplaces work well as a backdrop for a larger outdoor living area. Hiner Outdoor Living builds both in natural stone, stucco, and other materials matched to the home's existing architecture. The right choice depends on the layout of the space and how the homeowner plans to use it.
-
Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces at Hiner Outdoor Living are built for gas, wood, or a combination depending on the homeowner's preference. Gas features light with the push of a button and burn without smoke or ash cleanup, a common draw for homeowners who want convenience. Wood-burning features offer a more traditional look, feel, and sound, though they require more upkeep between uses. Colorado Springs' fire restrictions during dry seasons also factor into this decision, since gas features stay usable when open burning is restricted.
-
Installation timelines for a fire pit or outdoor fireplace typically span one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the design and whether gas lines need to be run to the feature. A simple prefabricated fire pit installs faster than a custom masonry fireplace built with a raised hearth and mantle. Weather and permitting requirements in El Paso County also affect scheduling. The design team provides a specific timeline estimate once the scope of the project is confirmed.
