Do you crave being outside after a day cooped up in the office? On a chilly night that maybe isn't so appealing...unless you have a fire pit. Today's fire features come in a variety of shapes, forms, and materials. In the Boulder area, large redstone or buff slab rocks are a natural choice since they come from the nearby town of Lyons. A more formal look can be achieved by designing an outdoor fireplace set in low wall border. But what about the time and effort it takes to start a fire? Flip a switch to a gas powered system, and it is no problem at all! If the more traditional approach is your style, then an in-ground fire pit will provide a safe place to burn logs. Any which way you go, consider a fire feature in your landscape design and stay cozy year round.
