Gas Fire Pits & Fireplaces
Custom Gas Fire Pits & Fireplaces
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:
Fireplace surrounds
Hearth masonry
Brick fireplace repair
Stone fireplace updates
Stone veneer fireplace upgrades
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
Existing or Planned Gas Connection
A gas fire feature usually depends on whether a natural gas connection is available or can be planned for the location. The design should account for utility access and coordination with qualified professionals where needed.
Fire Feature Location
The fire feature should be placed where it makes sense for seating, traffic flow, visibility, and how the outdoor space will be used.
Patio Layout and Seating
Gas fire pits are often used for entertaining, so the surrounding patio should support comfortable seating, movement, and conversation.
Burner Style and Feature Shape
Gas fire features can be round, square, rectangular, linear, or more custom in shape. The burner style and masonry design should work together visually and functionally.
Access for Service and Maintenance
A permanent gas fire feature should be designed with reasonable access for service, controls, and future maintenance.
Surrounding Materials
The materials around the fire feature should be appropriate for the setting and selected with durability, heat exposure, weather, and appearance in mind.
Outdoor Living Integration
A gas fire feature can be part of a larger outdoor plan that includes patios, walkways, seating walls, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, landscape transitions, or waterfront entertaining spaces.
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.
Do gas fire pits need a natural gas line?
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.
