Professional Outdoor Firepit and Fireplace Contractor Columbus Ohio
Firepit Installation Services
There’s something humbling about sitting outside in your backyard next to a fire that makes you really appreciate your surroundings. Whether its a small metal firepit in a neighborhood or an extravagant backyard with plenty of privacy, having a fire and gathering around is something special.
At Delta Landscape Company, we work as a trusted outdoor firepit and fireplace contractor in Columbus Ohio, designing and building custom fire features that you can enjoy for years to come. Whether you’re picturing a simple firepit, one integrated into your paver patio, or maybe an outdoor fireplace with a chimney and more, we build each project with long-term durability in mind that withstands Ohio seasons.
Custom Outdoor Firepit & Fireplace Design in Columbus Ohio
No two yards are laid out the same. Some have slopes that need grading adjustments. Others require drainage improvements before anything can be installed safely. We take the time to evaluate the full picture of your home and the ideas you have in mind before designing your outdoor area. Our goal isn’t just to install a fire feature, it’s to build something that fits your home, your patio, and how you actually use your space. Many homeowners choose to combine a fire feature with a paver patio, seating wall, or upgraded landscaping, bringing their yard together as one cohesive space featuring their new landscaping and hardscaping.
Our fire features are mortar-less installations which require a higher degree of skill to install. We have to align the stone or brick more precisely due to a lack of mortar, but the end product is just as beautiful, sturdy, and will withstand the weather just as well.
Outdoor Firepit Installation
A well-built firepit feels natural in your backyard. It creates a comfortable gathering area without taking over your whole space. When we build outdoor firepits in Columbus, we focus on:
- Proper excavation and compacted base preparation
- Drainage planning to prevent settling
- Safe spacing away from structures and landscaping
- Gas, propane, or wood-burning configurations
- Natural stone, paver, or block construction
- Optional seating wall integration
Outdoor Fireplace Construction
An outdoor fireplace makes more of a visual statement than a fire pit. It adds height, architectural interest, and directed warmth — which can make a big difference on windy fall evenings. We design fireplaces that complement your home rather than compete with it.
Our outdoor fireplace projects typically include:
- Reinforced footing and foundation work
- Chimney height planning for airflow
- Gas line coordination if needed
- Stone veneer or brick finishes
- Integration with patios, pergolas, or outdoor kitchens
Firepit vs Fireplace
If you are thinking about installing an outdoor fire feature, where you intend to put it and how you plan on using your space is a big part of making a decision of which to install. Both options add warmth and atmosphere, but they serve slightly different purposes.
Firepits tend to feel more open and social. They provide seating all the way around so you can interact with everyone nearby. Fire pits tend to be placed out in the open, away from all structures and more in the center of a yard.
Contrarily, an outdoor fireplace directs heat forward and creates a stronger focal point. Everyone will need to be seated on the same side of the fireplace to get the full effect. This can help add privacy and “segment” a patio area from other parts of your space. The depth of the fireplace can limit the height of the flames, allowing you to put a fireplace under a roof, pergola, or other adjacent structure.
During your consultation, we’ll talk through how you plan to use the space and recommend what works best for what you have in mind.
Mortar-less Paver, Stone, or Brick Firepits
Many modern outdoor firepits and fireplaces are built using modular, mortar-less systems. When installed correctly, these systems are durable, flexible, and well-suited for Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles. Material selection plays a major role in long-term performance, maintenance, and overall aesthetics you desire.
Concrete Paver and Block Systems
Engineered concrete block systems are commonly used for mortar-less fire features. They are designed to interlock and maintain structural stability despite soil and moisture changes. They are very easy to repair and clean while also tying in well with paver patios.
Natural stone
Natural stone adds character and texture that manufactured products can’t replicate. Stone can be dry-stacked for a more rustic look or combined with structural block systems underneath for added strength. Because of their unique size and shape, stone looks like a more custom design that blends well with natural landscaping. This does add a little complexity to installation, but the end product is worth the added difficulty.
Brick and Stone Veneer
For outdoor fireplaces especially, brick or stone veneer is often applied over reinforced block construction. This creates the appearance of solid masonry while maintaining structural integrity. The finish you choose should match.

Wood-burning vs Gas or Propane Firepits
In addition to the choice of fire feature you want to install, you need to decide what is your fuel source going to be as this can increase the complexity of the project.
Gas and propane fireplaces are popular in Columbus for convenience. With a simple ignition switch, you get:
- Immediate flames
- No smoke
- Minimal gas smell
- No hauling wood
- No cleaning ash required.
While gas firepits require almost zero maintenance, they require more difficult installations like tying into your existing gas lines, trenching to bury the lines, safety clearances, and more.
Wood-burning fire pits are the exact opposite:
- Fire can take a little longer to get started
- Required to buy/store wood
- Natural wood fire smell
- Smokey if wood is damp
- Ash must be dumped regularly
While higher maintenance is required during use, installing is as simple as putting pavers or blocks down where you want, and in the appropriate size and shape you desire. No trenching or piping needed.
