Custom Fire Pit Contractor in Broken Arrow OK
A fire pit is one of the most-used elements in any Broken Arrow outdoor living space — it extends the outdoor season from early spring through late fall, creates the natural social gathering point in the backyard, and delivers the campfire experience most Oklahoma families grew up with. VistaScapes Design & Build builds custom fire pits throughout Broken Arrow — gas and wood-burning, standalone and integrated into seating walls, simple and elaborate.

Fire Pit Options We Build in Broken Arrow
Built-In Fire Pit with Seating Wall
The most popular fire pit build in Broken Arrow — a fire pit bowl set into a low masonry seating wall (18–22 inches high) with a stone or flagstone cap. The seating wall defines the gathering zone, provides comfortable bench-height seating all the way around, and gives the fire feature a permanent, architectural presence on the patio. We build the wall from concrete block with stone veneer, natural fieldstone, or standard block depending on budget and design direction. Seating wall cap options include flagstone, limestone, bluestone, or concrete cap.
Gas Fire Pit
Gas fire pits in Broken Arrow connect to natural gas or propane and ignite with the turn of a valve — no wood hauling, no ash cleanup, no waiting for embers to die. We install a fire ring burner in a steel pan set into the fire pit bowl, with a glass media, lava rock, or natural stone fill around the burner for aesthetic finish. Gas line runs are coordinated with a licensed plumber as part of the project. Gas fire pits are ideal for families with young children or homeowners who use the fire feature multiple times per week.
Wood-Burning Fire Pit
Wood-burning fire pits give you the real campfire experience — crackling logs, wood smoke, the ritual of building and tending the fire. We install a steel fire ring insert in a masonry bowl sized appropriately for the seating wall diameter (typically 36–48 inches diameter for the interior burn area). Wood-burning builds are typically less expensive than gas because no gas line extension is required. Oklahoma homeowners who want the authentic outdoor experience almost always go wood-burning.
Standalone Fire Pit Bowl
For homeowners who want a fire pit without a full seating wall — a standalone masonry bowl on the patio or in the yard, designed to pair with existing or planned outdoor furniture. A standalone fire pit bowl built from block or stone runs $2,500–$5,000 installed and can be built gas or wood-burning. Less expensive than a full seating wall integration, but delivers the same fire experience.
Fire Pit Add-Ons Available in Broken Arrow
- Gas ignition system with key valve or push-button igniter
- Glass media fill (reflective tempered glass around the burner pan)
- Lava rock or fire glass media alternatives
- Integrated drain in the fire pit bowl for rain water management
- Cap-mounted conduit for string light attachment points
- Adjacent built-in storage for firewood (masonry niche in the seating wall)
Fire Pit Placement on Your Broken Arrow Patio
Proper placement is everything for a fire pit. We position fire pits at least 10 feet from the home’s structure, clear of overhead combustibles, and in a location that allows comfortable seating all the way around without blocking patio traffic flow. We assess your patio layout and yard during the consultation to recommend the right placement — one that works with your existing or planned outdoor furniture and gives the fire feature the presence it deserves.
