Can a Fire Pit Add Significant Value to Your Home?

According to the Hearth Patio & Barbeque Association, millions of outdoor fire pits and fireplaces are installed every year in North America as part of an overall trend toward more extensive outdoor living spaces. So, using fire pits to create a functional and cosy outdoor living space is continually growing in popularity

This trend continues and firepits are an essential of any outdoor design.   Residential Landscape Architecture trends Survey conducted by the American Society of Landscape Architects found that fire pits are the 3rd most popular outdoor feature after lighting and dining.

,”Homeowners know that designed landscapes add value to their lives as well as their property values,” said ASLA Executive Vice President and CEO Nancy Somerville, Hon. ASLA. “They’re interested in livable, open spaces that are both stylish and earth friendly.”

When considering purchasing a fire pit, you can expect to see a range of costs, qualities, and materials. From a few hundred dollars for a small portable fire pit that will last for a few years, to a few thousand for a luxurious fire pit that makes an architectural statement and will be a permanent feature of your home. There are also several fuel options for your fire pit – such as natural gas, propane and wood.

The convenience of natural gas or propane gas fire pits are well known. In many communities wood burners are either not allowed or banned during large parts of the year due to an increased risk of forest fires. Unfortunately, this is often during summer, which is the best time to spend evenings by the fire. Additionally, the mess a wood burner creates can be substantial and there are less maintenance demands with gas fire pits.

In conclusion, it is important to choose a fire pit that best suits your home to elevate its design and add value. The addition of an outdoor fire feature can tie your garden together and create an outdoor space that is both functional and beautiful, inevitably improving your home’s overall to you, your family and its guests.
