Gas Fire Pits & Fireplaces

Custom Gas Fire Pits & Fireplaces

Moore Stone designs and builds gas fire features that bring clean, convenient warmth into patios, outdoor living spaces, fireplace settings, and high-end masonry designs.

A Built-In Fire Feature Without the Firewood and Ash

Gas fire features are popular with homeowners who want warmth, atmosphere, and a finished outdoor living space without the maintenance of a wood-burning fire.

There is no need to store firewood, remove ash after each use, or wait for a fire to burn down at the end of the evening. For homeowners who entertain often or want a fire feature they can use more easily, a built-in gas fire pit or fireplace can be a practical and polished choice.

Gas also opens the door to a wide range of design styles. The fire feature can feel modern and clean, traditional and masonry-focused, or fully integrated into a larger patio, seating area, or outdoor living design.

Moore Stone approaches gas fire features as part of the overall space. The goal is not just to place a burner into a patio. The goal is to create a fire feature that looks intentional, functions well, and feels like it belongs with the home.

Built-In Gas Fire Pits for Patios, Seating Areas & Outdoor Entertaining

The right gas fire pit design depends on the layout of the property, the available or planned gas connection, the surrounding materials, and how the homeowner wants to use the space.

Gas Fireplace Surrounds, Hearths & Masonry Finish Work

Gas fire features are not limited to outdoor patios. Inside the home, Moore Stone can help improve the look and finish of existing fireplace areas through masonry, stone, brick, hearth, veneer, and surround work.

An indoor gas fireplace may already function well, but the surrounding materials may feel dated, plain, damaged, or disconnected from the rest of the room. Updating the masonry around the fireplace can make it feel more intentional and better matched to the home.

Indoor gas fireplace masonry work may include:

For indoor gas fireplaces, the full condition of the firebox, venting, gas components, and surrounding materials may need to be evaluated before the final scope is determined. Moore Stone’s role is best positioned around masonry, stone, brick, hearths, surrounds, veneer, and finish work connected to the fireplace setting.

Designed Around the Fire Feature, the Patio, and the Gas Connection

Gas fire features require careful planning before construction begins. Because they are typically connected to a permanent natural gas line, the location, layout, access, materials, and surrounding masonry all need to be considered together. A well-planned gas fire pit or fireplace should not feel like an add-on. It should feel integrated into the patio, outdoor living space, or fireplace setting. Key planning considerations include:

Good planning helps the finished feature feel clean, safe, usable, and visually connected to the property.

Built Around the Masonry, Patio & Finished Space

Moore Stone’s role in gas and propane fire feature projects is focused on the masonry, hardscape, patio, fireplace surround, and finished construction of the feature. Depending on the project, fuel-line, appliance, utility, or connection-related work may need to be completed or coordinated with appropriately qualified trades. Our goal is to create a finished fire feature that looks permanent, functions properly, and feels like it belongs within the surrounding patio, masonry, and outdoor living space.

From Traditional Masonry to Modern Outdoor Living

Gas fire features can be designed in a range of styles. Some homeowners want a traditional stone or brick look that blends with the home. Others want a cleaner, more modern fire feature with straight lines, smooth surfaces, and a refined patio layout. Moore Stone can help homeowners think through the design direction, surrounding materials, and how the fire feature should fit the larger outdoor space.

Gas Fire Pit & Fireplace FAQ

What is the difference between a gas fire pit and a propane fire pit?

A gas fire pit is typically connected to a permanent natural gas line. A propane fire pit uses a propane tank or propane supply. Gas is often preferred when homeowners want a permanent built-in fire feature connected to the home’s utility system, while propane can offer more flexibility when a natural gas line is not practical.

In most cases, yes. A gas fire pit is usually designed around an existing or planned natural gas connection. The location of that connection can affect where the fire feature makes the most sense.

Yes. A gas fire pit can be built into a patio or designed as part of a larger outdoor living space. Moore Stone can help plan the masonry, patio surface, seating layout, and surrounding hardscape so the feature feels integrated.
Moore Stone can help with masonry-focused outdoor gas fireplace projects, including stone or brick fireplace features, fireplace walls, surrounds, and outdoor living spaces designed around a gas fireplace.
Can Moore Stone update an indoor gas fireplace surround?
Yes. Moore Stone can help with masonry-focused indoor fireplace updates such as stone veneer, brick repair, hearth masonry, fireplace surrounds, and related masonry restoration.
Gas fire pits usually require less cleanup than wood-burning fire pits because there is no ash removal or firewood storage. They still require proper use and maintenance, but many homeowners choose gas because it is cleaner and more convenient.
Common material options include natural stone, brick, stone veneer, pavers, flagstone, bluestone accents, and other durable masonry materials. The best choice depends on the style of the home, the patio, and the fire feature design.
Yes. Gas fire features are often a good fit for outdoor entertaining because they are easier to use, cleaner, and can be designed as part of a finished patio or seating area.
