Home Improvement – How To Improve Your Landscape With A Backyard Firepit


Are you one of those people who love to get away on the weekend and forget about life, but find it increasingly harder and harder to be able to that? Are you the person who on Tuesday already wishes it were Friday so that you can get your weekend started, but when the weekend does come you really have nothing to do anyways?

With busy schedules, especially if you have kids, getting away for the weekend can be nearly impossible, besides being expensive. One of the things that people have always loved to do is to go camping on the weekends, and just get away from it all. There’s really nothing like staring blankly into a fireplace and chatting it up with your friends and family, leaving the world’s stresses behind to your thoughts and conversations.

But of course getting away on a camping trip or away to the beach for a bonfire is like pulling teeth these days. Between work weeks that get extended to weekends, home chores that simply can’t get put off any longer, and the grueling schedule of being a parent/chauffeur there’s just no time to get away for a campfire. However these days, no matter where you live, it’s easier than ever to bring the campfire to your home instead.

Not only does this make for a better quality of your families relaxation and bonding time, but it also (if you choose wisely) enhances the look of your backyard or patio, giving your outside living area a much more classy look, creating a space that you’ll want to go to, instead of want to get away from. These fireplaces are growing in popularity for just that reason…the reason being the fact that no longer is the fire pit just an old tire rim thrown on some gravel, but it’s now a beautiful construction made for not only looks but also safety, so that you don’t have to worry that your enjoyable time will become a tragedy in the making.

One Colorado Company that has gone the extra mile to make the most beautiful backyard fire pit creations available is Colorado Hearth and Home. This is a company with over 25 years of experience enhancing the lives of homeowners by adding to the beauty of their precious living areas, both inside and out. They have perfected the art of the backyard living space while giving the customer free reign to customize their very own backyard fire pit that’s perfect for them.

With an authentic and unique system of building their fire pits, they’ve taken things to a new level with their quality. You’re able to choose between hundreds of different styles of stone, stucco, or both to create the exact look that you’re after. The sky’s virtually the limit with the design as well. Many that they’ve already created are more unique in size and shape than any other fire pit that you’re likely to see. But, if you prefer a more standard look then that’s just as well. Every fire pit, no matter which, seems to be an art piece each its own! In fact Colorado Hearth and Home seems to have thought of everything.

These are solid fire pits to say the least. The beginning design starts with a custom welded steel frame (can you say sturdy?). Next added is the scratch coat mortared steel lathe that will be the center for your fire pits burning. Then added is the beautiful stone or stucco, depending on which you’ve chosen, the grout to bind the stones for secure placement, as well as design. Your fire pit then gets the final touch which is a 2 inch thick stone top that will ensure that your backyard fire pit is not only the envy of everyone in your neighborhood when the unit is first delivered, but for many years to come.

For added safety with your fire pit, the people at Colorado Hearth and Home equip the constructed unit with a gas safety shut off/flame adjustment valve, which includes a key for a match-lit burner, plus nylon feet that raise the unit 1/8 inch from the ground to keep your deck or patio safe from scuffing and water buildup.

Just imagine the nights that you’ll get to enjoy in your backyard, with your new custom fire pit. You may just begin to realize that the conversations that you end up having aren’t only with your close friends and loved ones, but with the whole neighborhood – because your neighbors simply will not be able to resist the tantalizing smell of burning firewood, as well as the hypnotic fire. You’ll certainly be the envied neighbor on your street.
