Using a fire pot in your backyard can provide just the right landscape accent. The ambiance and warm look of the crackling fire of a fire pit,  could be just the special addition you may want to add to a new gazebo. It would easily add some character to your back yard and give you a nice getaway from the house. And, as an added plus, adding some unique landscaping to your property is one of the best ways to increase the value of your home.

The outdoor firepit can be designed as the focal point at the center of the back garden if you are looking for a project to start in that space. You can design a walkway of stone leading to the patio, or even utilize colorful bricks for the fire pit area in the back yard You can use your imagination and go beyond just creating an area for seating. You might want to put in a pond or fountain near where you place the chairs if you find running water to be a relaxing sound. In the seclusion of the back yard, it is possible to create a restful, stress reducing hangout because of the use of both a warm fire and the running water. It would be possible to spend relaxing evenings sipping some tea, and staying warm as you enjoy the antics of you fish swimming in the pond.

You can make the surrounding fire pit landscape as simple or as intricate as you choose to. If you decided on a fancier pit, make sure that your walkways and patio furniture reflect that. Be careful if you want to keep it simple by making sure everything reflects the simplicity and doesn’t take the focus off your fire. The nice thing about creating a simple retreat with a fire pit is that you can do all the work yourself, as opposed to hiring a landscaping company to do it for you. This will significantly lower your costs. Although, there is nothing wrong with hiring someone to help you realize your design either- sometimes it’s worth paying the extra money so that you know it will come out exactly how you imagined it.
