What type of stone is best for the "cap" stone around fire pit? - Wanted to use flagstone, but was told that was not a good choice? »

Buechel Stone Corp So many questions on this question:)!
- Where do you live? Is there going to be a lot of freezing and thawing that might result in water getting into the mortar and freezing, resulting in the stone popping off?

- what did you build up the firepit with? Block, stone, brick, poured concrete?

- how big is it and what type of look do do you want - formal, rustic, etc?

- how close will the fire be to the stone?

The big thing is how close will the fire be to the stone and how hot will the stone get?

Couple of homework questions!

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by QUERCUS to Southwest Gardener's December Checklist

In lower zones, fire pits are a great way to illuminate and warm an intimate space under the stars. In higher zones, they can provide warmth during the day as well.Of course low-voltage landscape lighting can be used to great advantage. Keep it subtle and avoid adding unnecessary light pollution, which would affect the views of the night sky for you and your neighbors.

Great time for winding down with the family, sharing thoughts and memories. Cozy spot for a "date night" with my husband, while the girls are at Nana's...LOL ►Looks like something we can do our selves, maybe save a lil' money and family character. ♥
