There are an infinite number of possible designs, and outdoor fire pits no longer need to be just a round pile of rocks. I work with several basic styles of gas fed fire pits when I design outdoor gardens to enchant my clients. The popularity of fire pits and the fire effects they produce in the garden is one of fastest growing trends in outdoor design. The allure of sitting around a fire ring has been around since the beginning of mankind. Fire provides warmth, light, a cooking source and, of course relaxation. A dancing flame has a mesmerizing affect that encourages you to unwind and settle in. The popularity of fire pits, or conversation pits as they are commonly called, has grown rapidly in recent years. Proper design and construction will ensure a safe and enjoyable feature that will last several decades This fully equipped outdoor kitchen is separate from the rest of the living space, allowing the two areas to be utilized entirely on their own. outdoor kitchens are most efficient when it's zoned into logical uses. your cook space should have plenty of prep space, room to set down utensils and stage ingredients, and a comfortable buffer from the seating island to keep guests protected from the heat.

This beautiful outdoor living area, patio, and outdoor kitchen is made with Chamberlain natural stone veneer. Chamberlain is a dimensional cut marble natural stone veneer. The stone is cut to heights of 2.25”, 5”, and 7.75” which creates clean and formal lines. Dimensional cut stone is also referred to as sawed height stone within the industry. Chamberlain has a deep depth of color with a tempered or washed-out looking surface over the darker blue and grey tones. The lighter whites and greys permeate the stone with occasional earthy browns from the minerals present within the ground. The texture of Chamberlain is rough due to how the stone naturally splits apart.
