Fire Pits & Fireplaces Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs evenings cool off fast, even in July, and a fire feature is what turns a patio you use for three months into one you use for eight. Whether you want a simple wood-burning pit for weekend gatherings or a built-in gas fireplace that ties your whole backyard together, Freedom Landscapes designs and builds custom fire pits and fireplaces for homes across the area, as one of our most requested outdoor living add-ons.

We've been doing this for seven years, and the question we hear most isn't "what will this look like," it's "will I actually be able to use it in October." So we build for the climate first: proper clearance from structures and fences, materials that hold up through freeze-thaw cycles, and placement that accounts for the wind patterns that come with living at altitude.

What We Build

Wood-Burning Fire Pits — the classic option, built with stone, brick, or block, sized for your patio or backyard gathering space. Lower upfront cost, real fire and smoke, and no gas line required.

Gas Fire Features — connected to your home's gas line or a buried propane tank, these light with the push of a button and give you heat without smoke drifting into a dinner party. We build these as standalone pits or as full fireplace structures with a mantel and seating wall.

Hybrid Options — a wood-burning pit with a gas starter, or a gas insert set into a stone surround that reads as a traditional fireplace. Good middle ground if you want the ambiance of real wood with an easier start.

Every fire feature we build gets paired with the finish that fits your existing hardscape, stone, brick, or metal, so it looks like it was always part of the yard and not added on afterward. It's also a natural pairing with an outdoor kitchen if you're planning a full backyard build rather than a single feature.

Why Freedom Landscapes

We're locally owned and operated, not a franchise following a corporate install manual, and that matters here more than on most projects. Fire features are one piece of the outdoor living spaces we design and build across Colorado Springs. A fire feature that works in Denver or Colorado Springs' downtown neighborhoods can fail in Black Forest or up near Monument, where wind and elevation change how a fire pit actually performs. We've built these across the metro area long enough to know the difference, and we bring that to every design conversation before a single stone gets set.

Every project starts with a free estimate. No pressure, no upsell, just a walk of your space and an honest read on what will and won't work.

Service Area

We build fire pits and fireplaces throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding communities, including Black Forest, Monument, Manitou Springs, Briargate, Rockrimmon, and the Air Force Academy area. If you're just outside these neighborhoods, reach out and we'll let you know if we cover your address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a fire pit in Colorado Springs?

It depends on the type and size. Many freestanding wood-burning pits don't require a permit, while gas lines and permanent fireplace structures often do. We handle the permit question as part of your design consultation so there are no surprises partway through the build.

Can I have a wood-burning fire pit during fire bans?

Colorado Springs and El Paso County issue seasonal fire restrictions during dry stretches, and those restrictions typically prohibit open wood-burning fires, including fire pits. Gas and liquid-fueled fire features are usually still allowed under these restrictions, as long as they meet the El Paso County Sheriff's Office safety guidelines, which is one more reason a gas or hybrid design is worth considering if you want reliable year-round use.

Does my HOA allow fire pits?

Most Colorado Springs HOAs allow fire features but regulate placement, height, or fuel type. We'll ask about your HOA during the estimate so the design fits their rules from the start instead of getting flagged after installation.

What does a fire pit or fireplace typically cost?

Cost depends heavily on size, material, and whether you're running a gas line. We'll give you a firm number after seeing your space, not a generic range that doesn't reflect what your yard actually needs.

Can a fire pit pair with my existing patio or outdoor kitchen?

Yes, and it's one of the most common additions we build. If you already have a patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen with us, we'll design the fire feature to match your existing stone, brick, or paver work.
