From Concept To Final Flame
Fire Pit & Fire Feature Costs In Los Angeles
Fire feature pricing depends on size, burner system, materials, gas infrastructure, masonry, seating, hardscape, access, and how extensively the feature is integrated into the surrounding backyard.
$4K–$10K+
Compact custom gas fire pits with straightforward installation and standard finish materials.
$8K–$18K+
Larger custom structures with premium finishes, burner systems, caps, and integrated hardscape.
$15K–$40K+
Architectural fireplace structures with masonry, finishes, gas infrastructure, and lounge integration.
$20K–$60K+
Fire features combined with custom seating, sunken areas, lighting, walls, patios, and complete entertainment layouts.
For a custom fire feature integrated into a larger backyard remodeling project, our Backyard Budget Estimator uses a preliminary planning allowance of $15,000–$50,000+.
This allowance is intended for custom fire features, outdoor fireplaces, and more developed fire-and-lounge environments. It does not mean every individual fire pit costs at least $15,000.
Smaller standalone gas fire pits may fall below the estimator allowance. Large custom fireplaces, sunken lounges, extensive gas infrastructure, and complete entertainment areas may exceed it.
These are preliminary planning figures, not fixed quotes. Final pricing depends on site conditions, gas routing, burner systems, finishes, seating, drainage, permits, safety requirements, and total construction scope.
What Affects Fire Feature Installation Costs?
Gas Infrastructure
Gas supply capacity, line length, routing, shutoffs, and required inspections can affect the scope.
Materials & Finishes
Concrete, masonry, stone veneer, caps, decorative fire media, and premium finishes affect pricing.
Outdoor Integration
Built-in seating, sunken lounges, pavers, drainage, walls, and landscape lighting add complexity.
Gas Lines, Clearances & Fire Feature Safety
A custom fire feature should be planned around more than appearance. Gas supply, burner specifications, safe placement, ventilation, surrounding materials, and applicable local requirements are important parts of the design.
We coordinate the fire feature with the overall construction plan, including hardscape, utilities, seating, and nearby structures.
- Gas line sizing, routing, and accessible shutoff planning.
- Required permits and inspections based on the project and jurisdiction.
- Manufacturer-required burner installation and ventilation.
- Clearances from combustible materials and nearby structures.
- Appropriate drainage, foundations, and outdoor placement.
- Final operation testing and homeowner instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom fire pit cost in Los Angeles?
Smaller custom gas fire pits may begin around $4,000, while larger built-in fire pits, fireplaces, seating areas, and fire lounge environments cost more. Our Backyard Budget Estimator uses a preliminary $15,000–$50,000+ planning allowance for custom fire features integrated into larger backyard projects.

What warranty do you provide on fire features?
Build Up Remodeling provides a 5-year limited workmanship warranty on qualifying contracted installation work. Burner systems and manufactured components may include separate manufacturer warranties.
Do fire pits require permits?
Permit requirements depend on fire feature type, gas line installation, electrical components, structure, local jurisdiction, and the complete project scope.
Can you install a fire pit in an existing patio?
In many cases, yes. Existing patios may be modified depending on the surface, gas access, structural conditions, drainage, required clearances, and layout.
Is a fire pit better than an outdoor fireplace?
Fire pits generally create a more social, circular gathering experience. Outdoor fireplaces provide a stronger architectural focal point and can help define an outdoor lounge.
Can fire features be installed around pools?
Yes. Fire bowls, fire walls, linear burners, outdoor fireplaces, and fire-and-water features can be incorporated into pool and spa environments when properly planned.
Are gas fire pits better than wood-burning fire pits?
Many Los Angeles homeowners prefer gas fire pits because they offer convenient ignition and less routine cleanup. The right system depends on the property, local restrictions, and homeowner preferences.
Can you build seating around the fire pit?
Yes. We can integrate built-in benches, seat walls, sunken lounges, pavers, lighting, and other gathering features while accounting for required safety clearances.
Can a fire pit be part of a complete backyard remodel?
Yes. Fire features can be coordinated with outdoor kitchens, pools, spas, patio covers, pavers, turf, lighting, drainage, walls, and other outdoor living elements.
