Fire Pits in Old Bridge, NJ
Round and square fire pits built into your patio. Serving Old Bridge homeowners — owner-led by Manasses Ribeiro, NJ HIC #13VH10566200.
Fire Pits for Old Bridge homes
Old Bridge is one of the towns we work in most. From Laurence Harbor on the bay to the developments off Route 9 and Route 18, we build patios, driveways and walkways that hold up to sandy soil and NJ winters.
We work across Old Bridge, including Laurence Harbor, Cheesequake, Madison Park, Browntown and Sayre Woods.
Built for Old Bridge ground
Fire pits put a heavy load on a small footprint. On sandy Old Bridge 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.

Fire Pits in Old Bridge: common questions
Can you add a fire pit to my existing patio?
Often yes, if the existing patio is in good shape and the spot meets your town's setback rules. We look at it during the estimate.
Wood-burning or gas?
We build the masonry for both. Gas fire features need a licensed gas line installation, so we coordinate that part separately.
Are fire pits allowed in my town?
Most Central NJ towns allow recreational fire pits with rules on distance from the house and property lines. Check your town's fire code. We'll place the pit with those distances in mind.
Do you work in all parts of Old Bridge?
Yes — Laurence Harbor, Cheesequake, Madison Park, Browntown, Sayre Woods and the neighborhoods along Route 9, Route 18 and Route 516.
My Old Bridge yard is sandy. Does that change how a patio is built?
Sand drains well, which helps, but it shifts if it isn't confined and compacted. We compact the subgrade, build a dense stone base in lifts and lock the edges with a restraint so the patio doesn't spread.
Do I need a permit for a patio or driveway in Old Bridge?
It depends on the scope. Driveway work, curb cuts and walls can require township approval. We'll go over what applies to your project at the estimate.
