A natural gas fire pit gives you all the warmth and ambiance of a traditional fire pit without the firewood hassle — no splitting, hauling, storing, or running out mid-evening. VistaScapes Design & Build installs natural gas fire pits throughout Broken Arrow, building custom masonry surrounds and integrating premium gas burner systems that ignite instantly, burn cleanly, and deliver years of reliable service.
Natural gas fire pits are one of the fastest-growing outdoor living features we install in Broken Arrow. Homeowners love the convenience — turn a valve or push a button, and you have a beautiful flame within seconds. Turn it off when you’re ready to go inside. No ash to clean up, no smoke to chase you around the pit, and no worrying about the fire being fully extinguished before bed.
How We Build Natural Gas Fire Pits in Broken Arrow
Custom Masonry Surround
We build the fire pit structure itself from concrete masonry units (CMU block) finished with your choice of natural stone, ledgestone veneer, Oklahoma limestone, brick, or decorative block. The surround is designed to the diameter you specify — typically 36–60 inches inside diameter — and height that works with your seating wall or standalone chairs. A wider diameter creates a more dramatic visual; a smaller diameter keeps everyone closer together.
Gas Burner System
We install stainless steel H-burner or ring burner systems rated for outdoor use, typically from brands including HPC Fire, Warming Trends, or similar commercial-grade manufacturers. The burner is sized to the fire pit opening and connected to your home’s natural gas supply. We can install a simple manual valve or an electronic ignition system with a key-valve for push-button lighting convenience.
Lava Rock, Fire Glass, or Natural Stone Media
The burner is concealed beneath decorative fire media — lava rock is the classic choice, giving a natural look at a low cost. Fire glass (tumbled colored glass that reflects flame dramatically) creates a more modern, gem-like effect. We can also use decorative river stones or a combination of media types for custom appearances. The media choice doesn’t affect the fire — it’s purely aesthetic.
Gas Line Extension
We coordinate with licensed plumbers to run the natural gas line from your meter or existing gas point to the fire pit location. Gas line work requires permits and licensed plumber sign-off in Broken Arrow — we manage this coordination so you don’t have to navigate it yourself. The gas line is buried at appropriate depth with appropriate sleeve protection where it passes under any hardscape.
Integrated Seating Wall Options
Most of our Broken Arrow natural gas fire pit installations include an integrated seating wall. The wall wraps around the fire pit — typically at a distance of 4–6 feet from the pit edge — creating a comfortable, defined gathering space. Seating wall height is typically 17–19 inches, capped with smooth flagstone, concrete cap, or bluestone that’s comfortable to sit on and can accommodate cushions for added comfort.
The seating wall can be a simple circular wrap, a square or rectangular shape, or an open horseshoe that leaves one side open for access and visual connection to the rest of the yard. We design the layout based on your lot, the patio size, and how you plan to use the space.
Propane vs. Natural Gas Fire Pits
If your Broken Arrow property doesn’t have natural gas service, propane is an excellent alternative. A properly sized propane tank (typically 100–250 gallon for a dedicated fire pit) provides months of use between refills. Propane burns slightly hotter than natural gas, and the installation doesn’t require running a buried gas line — just locating the tank in a code-compliant position and connecting with a flexible supply line.
For properties with existing natural gas service, natural gas is generally the better long-term choice — you’ll never run out of fuel and there’s no tank to manage or refill. The upfront cost of gas line extension is recouped quickly in the convenience and lower fuel cost per BTU compared to propane delivery.
Natural Gas Fire Pit Cost in Broken Arrow
A complete natural gas fire pit installation in Broken Arrow — including custom masonry surround, gas burner, fire media, and gas line extension — typically ranges from $6,000–$14,000. Adding an integrated seating wall brings the total to $10,000–$20,000 depending on material selection and seating wall size. Gas line extension cost depends on distance from the existing gas supply — typically $1,500–$4,000 added to the project.
