A custom fire pit turns a patio into a place to stay outside after dark. Green Acres designs and builds permanent, built-in fire pits in stone or block for Wilmington, DE homes, in gas or wood-burning versions, with seating and a cooking option if you want one.
These are built pits, not retail fire bowls: sized to your space, set on a proper base, and finished to match your patio and home.
| Gas | Wood-burning | |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | Instant on and off, adjustable flame | Real flame, crackle and smell |
| Cleanup | No ash or smoke | Ash removal and firewood storage |
| Setup | Needs a gas line or propane supply | No fuel line; must follow local burn rules |
| Best for | Frequent, easy use | Traditional fires and cooking |
Ask about financing for larger projects.
Fire pit rules differ by municipality, fire marshal and HOA, and cover things like wood burning, distance from buildings and permits for gas. We check the requirements for your address and place the pit with safe clearances from the house, fences and overhead branches.
“Two years ago Green Acres beautifully hardscaped well over an acre of our property, installing boulder walls, multiple large paver patios, decorative stone pathways, rock stairways built into a hillside, both metal and cedar fencing and an outdoor fireplace.”

Gas gives instant flames, easy shut-off and no smoke or ash. It needs a gas line or propane supply. Wood gives the crackle and smell of a real fire but needs fuel, cleanup and attention to local burn rules. Think about how often you will use it and how much work you want.
A built-in fire pit is constructed from stone or block as part of your patio, sized and styled to fit the space, with a proper base and safe clearances. Retail fire bowls sit on the surface and are easy to move. Built-in pits look permanent because they are.
Size, materials, gas versus wood, gas line or propane connections, seat walls or benches, the patio or base beneath it, and added features like a cooking grate. Fire pits built into a new patio cost differently from adding one to an existing space. We quote after seeing the yard.
Yes, and they vary by municipality, fire marshal and HOA. Wood-burning rules, setbacks from buildings, and permits for gas lines can all apply. We check requirements for your address and design the pit with safe clearances from the house, fences and overhanging trees.
Yes. Many homeowners add a cooking grate so the fire pit works for grilling as well as gathering. We plan this during design so the pit height, fuel type and clearances suit safe cooking, and so seating is comfortable at the same time.
