Fire Pits in Helmetta, NJ

Fire Pits for Helmetta homes

Helmetta is a small borough with a long history — it grew up around the Helme snuff mill. We pave driveways, walks and patios for its homes.

Built for Helmetta ground

Fire pits put a heavy load on a small footprint. On sandy Helmetta lots we give them their own compacted base, tied into the surrounding patio or walkway so nothing settles on its own.

A fire pit is what gets people outside in October. We build fire pits into the patio design from the start: a circular paver patio around a round block pit, or a square pit with a polished granite cap, so the fire area looks planned, not added on later.

What goes into a fire pit

• A compacted stone base under the pit, the same as under the patio around it
• Interlocking fire pit block or a stone-veneer surround
• A steel ring insert to protect the block from direct heat
• A finished cap in block, natural stone or granite

Designed with the patio

The best fire pit patios are designed around the pit: a circle or curve in the paver pattern, room for chairs, and often a seating wall to close the space. Browse the gallery for round, curved and granite-capped examples from recent jobs.
