Extend Your Evenings Outside Year-Round

Grow and Glow Landscape designs and builds gas and wood-burning fire pits throughout Tucson for comfort and outdoor entertaining.

When the sun sets and the temperature drops, a fire pit lets you stay outside without retreating indoors. In Tucson, fall and winter evenings are mild enough to enjoy your backyard comfortably, and a well-placed fire pit becomes the focal point for seating, conversation, and outdoor meals. Grow and Glow Landscape installs custom fire pits designed to fit your patio layout, fuel preference, and how you plan to use the space.

Your fire pit can run on natural gas, propane, or wood depending on your access to utilities and the atmosphere you want to create. Gas fire pits ignite quickly and burn cleanly without ash or sparks, while wood-burning options offer the traditional crackling sound and smell of a campfire. Each installation includes proper clearance from structures and plantings, a stable base that supports the weight and heat of the fire feature, and materials chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures and Tucson's dry climate without cracking or discoloring.

How Fire Pits Are Installed and What Changes

Your fire pit installation in Tucson begins with selecting a location that allows safe clearance from overhead structures, fences, and vegetation. For gas fire pits, a gas line is run from your home's supply or a propane tank, and the burner is installed inside a fire-rated enclosure made from stone, brick, or metal. Wood-burning pits are built with ventilation and drainage in mind, and the interior is lined with materials that resist heat and weathering.

After installation, you will notice a defined space where seating naturally gathers and where you can light a fire without worrying about sparks landing on furniture or plants. The fire pit becomes a functional part of your patio that draws people outside and makes cooler evenings usable. Gas models offer adjustable flame height and instant shutoff, while wood-burning options require occasional ash removal and refueling.

The work includes connecting the fuel source, building or setting the fire pit structure, and testing the system to confirm safe operation. The service does not include electrical work for lighting or automation unless discussed during planning. Fire pits are built to last through years of use, but placement and material choices directly affect how well they perform and how often maintenance is needed.

Ask Anything About Your Fire Pit Project

Homeowners in Tucson often have questions about fuel options, placement, safety, and what to expect once a fire pit is installed and ready to use.

What is the difference between gas and wood-burning fire pits?
Gas fire pits ignite with a switch or valve and produce a clean flame without smoke or ash. Wood-burning fire pits require firewood, create smoke and embers, and need periodic cleaning, but they offer the traditional campfire experience many people prefer.
How far should a fire pit be from my home or patio cover?
Most building codes require at least ten feet of clearance from structures, overhangs, and fences. Exact distances depend on the size of the fire pit, the fuel type, and local regulations in Tucson.
Why do some fire pits crack or discolor over time?
Cracking occurs when materials are not rated for high heat or when the structure is not properly supported. Discoloration can result from ash buildup, moisture infiltration, or exposure to extreme temperature changes without proper sealing.
What kind of maintenance does a fire pit require?
Gas fire pits need occasional inspection of the burner and gas connections to confirm safe operation. Wood-burning pits require ash removal after each use and periodic cleaning of the interior to prevent buildup and staining.
How does a fire pit affect the value of my property?
A well-designed fire pit that integrates with your patio and landscaping typically adds to your home's appeal by extending usable outdoor space. Buyers in Tucson often view fire pits as desirable features for year-round outdoor living.
