When we bought our home it came with a random fire pit that looked like an unfinished project. It took me six months to figure it out but I finally did, so here we go; FIRE PIT WITH DIY PEA GRAVEL AND PAVERS.
At the same time I was contemplating what to do wtih this fire pit, we were also debating on what to do with our front yard.
Below is what the front landscaping looked like when we bought the house.
We decided it looked overgrown and not that great to begin with, so it was time to re landscape. That left us with a bunch of nice and expensive pavers that we didn’t know what to do with. One day I had a thought. Yes! I could REPURPOSE those Pavers and use them for a new backyard project.
I DECIDED TO PLACE THE PAVERS FROM THE FRONT YARD AROUND THE FIRE PIT, FILL IT IN WITH PEA GRAVEL, AND THEN ADD SOME CHAIRS FOR SEATING!
I didn’t do any fancy calculating to create a perfect circle. I did measure the distance from the fire pit to the pavers to make sure it was even on all sides, and then I just kept moving them around until they looked good.
WE DECIDED TO FILL THE FIRE PIT WITH PEA GRAVEL.
Below is the DIY fire pit project. We’re pleased with the way it turned out and have already enjoyed a few fires. With a little thought and effort, you can dress anything up, even a random outdoor fire pit!
Thanks for stopping by friends!

This looks perfect for our back yard. How many pavers did you use? What is the diameter of our fire pit? How much pea gravel did you buy?
