Benefits of Having a Fire Pit in Your Backyard

Now that the weather is starting to cool down, it’s less comfortable to gather outside at night—unless you have a fire pit, that is. Fire pits are a fun and versatile landscaping choice. They allow friends and family to gather for nighttime get-togethers. They’re beautiful and peaceful, too. Could a fire pit be right for you? Here are some of the biggest benefits to installing a fire pit in your backyard:

•Enjoy them all year long: While Southern California can see some cold temperatures, they’re pretty mild on the whole. When you add a fire pit to your backyard, you can enjoy the outdoors all year long. They create 360-degree heat, so the whole family (plus your friends) can gather around to enjoy the spectacle.

•Add light to your backyard: Not only do fire pits provide heat, they also add light to your yard. You can enhance your lighting scheme with a blazing fire. It’s perfect for parties and creating romantic ambience.

•Create a cozy entertaining space: Why limit parties to the indoors? A fire pit can turn your cold backyard into a cozy entertaining space. Arrange chairs and outdoor furniture around the fire pit, so guests can soak up warmth. There’s also the fact that fire pits are just fun to watch. Like a campfire, there’s something compelling about watching the flames dance around.

•A variety of styles available: No matter what your home, backyard and aesthetic tastes may be, fire pits can be created to fit your vision. They can be made from stone, cement and other fireproof materials, and you can choose the fuel type to suit your specific needs.

•Some are suitable for outdoor cooking: Wood-burning fire pits can be used for outdoor cooking. (Other types, like gas-powered pits, are not. Food drippings can clog grates and cause safety issues or operating problems.) You’ll never have to suffer through an unsatisfied s’mores craving again.

•Safe and easy to operate: RainforestLA, Inc.’s fire pits are all designed to be safe and easy to operate. As long as you follow the operating instructions—and keep little ones away from open flames—you’ll enjoy the warmth of an outdoor fire on demand, worry-free.

•Adds value to your home: If you intend to sell your home in the future, you know how certain upgrades and renovations can add value. Buyers will fall in love with your fire pit, just as you will. In a competitive market, these features can make the difference between your house and the next one on their list.

•Affordable for any budget: Finally, fire pits don’t have to costa bundle. Depending on your budget, desired materials and fuel type, you should be able to find a style that works for your backyard. Of course, your landscaping company can help if the decision is too tough.
