If you’re looking to improve the aesthetic appearance of your backyard with a hardscape project, a fire pit is both a décor piece and an excellent means for entertaining guests. Serving home and business owners throughout Cincinnati, OH, Lakeview Garden Center & Landscaping specializes in creating unique landscapes that add both value and beauty to the exterior of your home. The creative designers are here to discuss a few DIY fire pit ideas you can use to add a hardscape to your backyard.

5 DIY Fire Pit Ideas

1. Campfire

You can recreate an outing in the woods by putting a campfire-style fire pit in your backyard. Install a pit in your yard and then surround it with wooden benches or comfy ottomans.

2. Brick Fire Pit

If you want to mimic the classic indoor fireplace, build a brick fireplace outdoors in your yard. It’s the perfect touch for those cool autumn nights.

3. Mosaic Fire Pit

If you’re feeling a more artsy addition, let your creative juices flow with a mosaic fire pit. Create the pit from stone, and then head to your favorite crafts store to buy mosaic glass and ceramic pieces you can use for the top layer.

4. Copper Cauldron

You can purchase a copper cauldron and convert it into an outdoor fire pit. Not only will it make your backyard feel more sophisticated, but you won’t have to worry about installation.

5. Table Top

If you want your fire pit elevated, create a tabletop piece. You can build it in the middle of your deck or patio and raise it so that you and your guests can enjoy it at face level.
