Installing a fire pit in your backyard is a great way to add to your property value as well as provide a relaxing and inviting feature to your outdoor living space. When installing a fire pit, you have to decide between professional installation services and a DIY job. We here at Serene Landscape Consulting strongly discourage DIY fire pit installations. Here are three of the top reasons why professionally built fire pits are superior to ones from DIY projects.
- Longer lifespan. Fire pits built by professionals feature the highest quality materials and were constructed with the right tools and equipment for the job. For this reason, you can expect these fire pits to last longer than ones built as part of DIY projects. You don’t want a fire pit that’s going to fall apart prematurely, so go with a professional when you want to add one to your yard.
- Regulation adherence. Different cities have different codes and regulations that need to be adhered to any time something is added to a residential property. It’s important that you make sure your new fire pit is built according to code so that you aren’t faced with a fine. When you work with a team of professionals to build your fire pit, you know that it will be code compliant, which often ensures that it is safer as well.
- More design options. What your yard looks like will determine what fire pit design looks best in the space available. DIY projects are far more limited in what they can look like simply due to lack of experience and expertise. We can offer multiple fire pit design options to create the perfect fire pit for your outdoor living space.
