Ginkgo Leaf Studio Hi Deanna, thanks for your question. If I recall, the fire pit with the custom stone seat wall was about $25,000. This does not include the main patio or the stone retaining walls you see in the foreground of the photo. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have additional questions.
