About Our Fire Pits
A fire pit is the fastest way to turn a backyard into a place where people actually want to stay. There's no technology required, no special skills, and no complicated setup. Just fire, seating, and good company. R.E. and Sons Landscaping builds custom fire pits for Prescott homeowners who want something permanent, safe, and beautiful.
Whether you're drawn to a natural stone surround with wood-burning fire, a clean gas insert in a concrete bowl, or a full fire pit seating area with built-in benches, we'll design it for your space.
Who It's For
Fire pits work for virtually any homeowner with outdoor space. They're particularly popular among families with kids, homeowners who entertain, and anyone who wants to spend more time outside in the evening without spending a lot.
Why Homeowners Choose R.E. And Sons
Licensed, Bonded & Insured (ROC #300642)
Fire features require proper placement, gas-line safety, and knowledge of local fire codes. We handle all of it, correctly, every time.
Custom Built, Not Prefab
A custom fire pit is built into your landscape. It's part of your yard, not something sitting on top of it. The difference in quality and appearance is significant.
Local Knowledge Matters
We know Prescott's wind patterns, HOA requirements, and setback rules. That knowledge keeps your project moving without surprises.
Integrated Design
Fire pits work best when they're designed as part of a cohesive outdoor space. We look at your whole yard, not just the fire pit footprint.
Why Choose R.E. and Sons Landscaping
Choosing the right installer matters. A turf lawn only performs well when the prep work, drainage, and installation are done correctly.

Why a Built-In Fire Pit Beats a Portable One
Permanent and Safe
Built-in fire pits are positioned with proper clearances, anchored in place, and designed to not tip, shift, or move. They're meaningfully safer than portable options.
Low Ongoing Cost
Once built, a gas fire pit costs pennies to run per hour. A wood-burning pit uses wood you already have or can buy affordably.
Looks Like It Belongs
A custom fire pit is part of your landscape. Portable fire pits sit on top of it. The visual difference is immediate.
Adds Real Property Value
Custom fire features are a recognized home value addition. They show up as an asset in appraisals and buyer interest.
Extends Outdoor Time Year-Round
Prescott's evenings are cool even in summer. A fire pit makes outdoor time more comfortable in every season.
The Gathering Spot
Fire pits naturally organize outdoor seating. People orient toward fire. It becomes the center of every evening outside.
Fire Pit FAQs
Do I need a permit for a fire pit in Prescott, AZ?
Permanent built-in fire pits, especially gas models, typically require a permit. Prescott also has fire restrictions during dry periods that apply to wood-burning fires. We'll walk you through the local requirements during the consultation.
Gas or wood-burning which should I choose?
Gas fire pits are cleaner, faster to start, and require no wood storage. Wood-burning fire pits provide a traditional experience with real crackling and woodsmoke. Many homeowners have a strong preference one way or the other. We'll help you think through both.
How far from the house does a fire pit need to be?
Local codes typically require a minimum distance from structures, fences, and overhead coverings. We assess your specific site and place the fire pit in a location that meets all requirements and makes practical sense for your yard.
How long does fire pit installation take?
Most fire pit projects are completed in one to three days depending on complexity. A fire pit with a surrounding seating wall may take longer.
Can you build a fire pit on an existing patio?
Yes, with the right preparation. We assess the existing slab for load and thermal considerations and advise on the best approach for your specific situation.
What materials work best for fire pit surrounds?
Natural stone, flagstone, concrete block, and brick are all solid choices for Prescott's climate. Each has a different aesthetic. We'll show you options during the design phase.
