Building a Stacked Stone Fire Pit

Jacque and I have both always loved spending time outdoors. When we moved into our new house, we wanted to make our backyard, a place to relax and enjoy time together. We decided that a fire pit would make a great addition to the bare yard. We started with a blank slate and ended up using stacked stone to create the fire pit.

    Add some flagstone pavers, low voltage landscape lighting, and a variety of shrubs and small trees and we're left with our Fire Pit Oasis!

    We dug down about 8 inches so that we could lay a base of gravel (57 Stone) underneath the fire pit for drainage

    We used stacked stone to form our fire pit. (The backside of the fire pit rests against a mounded landscape bed, so basically it's built into a mound.)
