With summer on the way, you’re likely starting to look for ways to spend more time outside. While a well-equipped patio with comfortable furniture may help extend your living space, it can be uncomfortable on those cool summer nights. Installing a natural stone fire pit can help make your patio space even more enjoyable and usable. Here’s why natural stone fire pits are a much better investment than other options.
They Raise Property Value
Installing a permanent natural stone fire pit can actually increase your home’s value and make it stand out if you decide to sell in the future. Even better, the value will last for years since natural stone fire pits require far less maintenance and upkeep than other types. When you’re using the fire pit, that lack of required maintenance means you’ll be able to enjoy it more thoroughly, and if you sell, buyers may be more tempted to consider your property.
They Integrate into Your Landscaping
Tying your patio into the rest of your landscaping can make your outdoor living space feel even bigger. And when you build a natural stone patio using similar materials to the patio floor, any flagstone walkways in your yard, and other natural stone elements, you’ll blur the lines between your patio space and the rest of your yard. This can create a more cohesive feel in your space and may even make your landscaping look more elegant.
They’re Safe
Natural stone can be incredibly heat resistant and, when installed by a professional, may reduce the risk of injuries and burns when in use. The materials won’t catch on fire, even if the flames get tall or overly hot. Keep in mind that you’ll still want to use reasonable precautions. Try not to build fires larger than the fire pit can safely contain and watch your kids around the pit itself. And if a fire gets out of control or sparks ignite a fire in your yard, be ready to immediately douse it with water.
They’re Affordable
Natural stone fire pits may cost more than many portable or temporary fire pits, but they’re still more affordable than installing a full outdoor fireplace or other permanent solution. Even better, they’re easily customizable so you can create a fire pit that works with the rest of your outdoor living area’s aesthetic. Just remember to be clear about your budget when you start looking for different types of natural stone. This way, you’ll be able to explore materials that won’t break the bank.
Installing a Natural Stone Fire Pit Can Transform Your Yard
Installing a natural stone fire pit can make your outdoor living area feel more comfortable year-round. Once in place, you’ll see an increase your property’s value and can even get more use out of your outdoor living area when the weather starts to cool off.
