Project description
We are looking for an experienced mason or hardscape contractor to build a circular stone fire pit with an integrated curved bench seating wall in our backyard gathering area. The project should create a comfortable outdoor living space where family and friends can sit close to the fire during cool evenings.
The fire pit itself should be roughly 42 to 48 inches in diameter, built from dry-stacked or mortared natural stone or manufactured pavers, with a steel fire ring or a gas burner insert (the client will confirm the fuel type before work begins). Proper drainage, a compacted gravel base, and a fire-rated interior liner are required so the structure withstands repeated heating cycles without cracking.
Surrounding the fire pit, we want a curved bench wall — either a full circle with a gap for access or a horseshoe shape — built at a comfortable sitting height of about 18 inches, wide enough for people to sit two rows deep if needed. The bench should be capped with a smooth, wide stone or paver top so it is comfortable to sit on and can double as a spot to set down drinks.
The stone finish should complement the existing patio and landscaping already in place. We would like the contractor to propose a stone or paver style, pattern, and color palette, along with a materials list and a rough cost breakdown for labor and supplies. Site preparation, including grading and removal of existing sod or a small tree stump near the planned location, is part of the scope.
Please include in your proposal: your relevant portfolio of outdoor masonry or hardscape work, an estimated timeline broken into stages (excavation, base, fire pit construction, bench construction, finishing), and any permit or local code considerations for open-flame fire pits in a residential backyard. We prefer someone who can visit the site, take measurements, and walk us through options before the final quote.
