How We Work

A fire feature extends your outdoor living season by months in Northern Colorado. Well-designed fire pits and outdoor fireplaces transform a patio from a warm-weather space into a year-round gathering area. The difference between a fire feature that feels like part of the landscape and one that feels like a portable addition is the design.

Brooks Landscape designs and builds fire pits and outdoor fireplaces as integrated components of your outdoor living area. We work from the patio layout outward, designing seating areas, sight lines, and surface materials so the fire feature anchors the space rather than sitting in the middle of it.

For gas fire pits and fireplaces, we coordinate gas line rough-in with a licensed contractor so the infrastructure is in before hardscape goes down. For wood-burning features, we build for airflow, spark management, and the heat load that masonry has to handle in a Northern Colorado winter.

We build with Belgard and premium masonry materials—products we trust to handle the freeze-thaw cycling and UV exposure that outdoor features in this climate face every year.

Local Water & Permit Context

As a Fort Collins Water Wise Partner, Brooks Landscape designs irrigation systems and plant selections to meet City of Fort Collins water-efficiency standards. Fort Collins enforces outdoor water budgets and seasonal watering schedules—we build compliance in from the start so you're never left scrambling after a project is in the ground.

Fort Collins requires permits for certain hardscape projects, retaining walls over 30 inches, and significant grading work. Brooks Landscape coordinates all required permits through the City of Fort Collins Development Review Center and handles utility locates before any excavation begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gas or wood-burning fire pit—which is better?
Gas fire pits are more convenient—instant ignition, no wood storage, no ash cleanup—and are required in some HOA communities that restrict wood-burning. Wood-burning pits provide a traditional fire experience but require more maintenance. We'll help you evaluate what fits your situation.
Do fire pits require permits in Northern Colorado?
Gas fire feature installation typically requires a permit and inspection for the gas line work. The fire pit structure itself may or may not require a permit depending on your jurisdiction. We evaluate this for each project.
How much does a custom fire pit cost?
Built-in fire pits with masonry surrounds typically range from $3,000 to $8,000+ depending on size, materials, and whether gas infrastructure is needed. Outdoor fireplaces are more substantial projects. We provide detailed proposals after a site visit.
