A brick fire pit is a classic choice for Tulsa outdoor spaces — timeless, durable, and capable of being built in virtually any shape or size. VistaScapes Design & Build constructs custom brick fire pits in Tulsa from standard face brick, tumbled brick, or old Chicago reclaimed brick — mortared on concrete footings and lined with firebrick where direct fire contact requires it — built to remain level and structurally sound through decades of Oklahoma weather.
Types of Brick Fire Pits We Build in Tulsa
- Standard face brick circular fire pit — A round fire pit wall in standard mortar-course brick construction. The classic residential fire pit that works with brick homes and traditional outdoor designs.
- Tumbled brick fire pit — Tumbled brick has irregular edges and weathered surfaces that give a more rustic, aged character compared to standard face brick. Works well in cottage, farmhouse, or naturalistic garden settings.
- Old Chicago reclaimed brick — Reclaimed brick from demolished buildings has patina, color variation, and character that new brick cannot replicate. Higher cost but extraordinary visual results for clients who want something genuinely unique.
- Brick fire pit with matching seating wall — A fire pit and surrounding seating wall in the same brick — creating a cohesive, designed space rather than a fire pit dropped onto a lawn.
- Square or rectangular brick fire pit — For contemporary or formal designs where a geometric form is more appropriate than a round fire pit.
Firebrick vs. Standard Brick for Fire Pits
Standard face brick works well for the outer walls of a fire pit that are not in direct contact with the fire. For the interior surfaces of the fire pit that are directly exposed to flames and sustained high heat, firebrick (also called refractory brick) is the appropriate material — it is engineered to withstand thermal cycling without cracking, spalling, or absorbing moisture that would cause explosive failure when rapidly heated. We use firebrick with refractory mortar for all interior fire pit surfaces in direct contact with fire.
