5 Backyard Fire Pit Ideas to Elevate Your Cape Cod Evenings

1. Coastal-Inspired Stone Circle

Classic and inviting, the stone circle fire pit is perfect for Cape Cod’s coastal charm. Using natural granite, fieldstone, or bluestone, we can create a round fire pit that echoes the rugged beauty of New England’s shoreline. Pair it with Adirondack chairs and driftwood accents to complete the vibe.

Ideal for: Homes near the beach or with rustic landscaping.

2. Modern Square Fire Pit with Seating Wall

If you’re looking for a more contemporary design, a square or rectangular fire pit in poured concrete or smooth pavers makes a bold statement. Integrating a masonry seating wall around it adds function and sophistication, giving guests a place to gather without the need for outdoor furniture.

Ideal for: Homes with structured patios or minimalist outdoor spaces.

3. Built-In Fire Pit + Grill Combo

Why choose between a fire pit and a grill when you can have both? This dual-purpose design includes a fire ring with a custom grilling grate. Perfect for Cape Cod cookouts, it gives you the ability to switch between flame-cooked meals and cozy fireside chats without missing a beat.

Ideal for: Entertainers, food lovers, and backyard chefs.

4. Sunken Fire Pit Lounge

Take your outdoor entertaining to the next level with a sunken fire pit area, built into your yard’s natural grade or patio design. Surrounded by stone benches or cushioned seating, this design adds intimacy and creates a natural focal point for evening gatherings.

Ideal for: Larger yards or properties with slope and elevation.

5. Fire Pit with Integrated Lighting and Pavers

For clients seeking both function and wow-factor, we offer integrated lighting within paver designs. Low-voltage lights along the perimeter stones or within nearby seating areas can create stunning visuals after dark, enhancing both safety and ambiance.

Ideal for: Homeowners looking to make their outdoor space truly shine.
