Fire Pits in Piscataway, NJ

Fire Pits for Piscataway homes

Piscataway sits on the clay and shale of New Jersey's Piedmont, which is why so many older patios and driveways here have heaved. We build ours from the base up.

Built for Piscataway ground

On clay, anything built on soft ground moves every winter. For fire pits in Piscataway, we dig the clay out underneath, build a compacted stone base and keep water moving away.

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.
