Over the years, landscape designs change and evolve into different trends, just like interior design and fashion trends phase in and out of popularity. Some of these trends become classic, effortlessly standing the test of time, whereas other trends can quickly die out. Here at Kalberer Construction, our team has noticed that permanent fire pits have become increasingly popular in a variety of different landscapes, so we’d like to discuss why this trend may be happening.

Why Are Permanent Fire Pits So Popular?

Based on our years of experience in the industry, we think these could be a few key reasons behind the rise of permanent fire pits:

  • Entertainment – One reason why fire pits are so popular, and will likely remain so, is their entertainment value. Not only is fire a relative novelty in the age of central heating and electric lights, but something about its ambiance can instantly enhance any gathering. You can also use your fire pit to roast marshmallows, hot dogs, or other campfire snacks.
  • Comfort – Another great reason to add fire pits to any landscape is to provide year-round comfort outdoors. You and your loved ones will be able to enjoy your outdoor living areas during ever season, not just during the warmer months. There’s nothing quite like sitting near a cozy fire on a chilly autumn night, and if you haven’t experienced this, we encourage you to consider adding a fire pit to your own yard.
  • Design Focus – Lastly, a permanent fire pit can create a beautiful focal point for your landscape design. A permanent design feature can give your yard a more elegant, streamlined look that you simply wouldn’t be able to achieve with a portable fire pit.
