Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete fire pit cost in Texas?
A basic wood-burning concrete fire pit costs $1,500 to $3,500 in Texas. Gas fire pits with burner kits run $3,000 to $6,000. Adding a built-in seating wall brings the total to $5,000 to $12,000. Fire tables range from $4,000 to $8,000. Gas line installation from the house adds $500 to $1,500. Most Texas homeowners spend $3,000 to $7,000 for a complete fire pit setup with basic surrounding hardscape.
Do I need a permit for a fire pit in Texas?
Most Texas cities require fire pits to be at least 10 to 25 feet from structures, fences, and property lines. Gas fire pits typically require a plumbing permit for the gas line. Wood-burning fire pits may not need a permit if they meet setback requirements, but check your city's fire code. Many Texas HOAs have restrictions on open flames, making gas fire pits the preferred option in planned communities.
Is gas or wood-burning better for Texas?
Gas fire pits are more popular in Texas for several reasons. They comply with most HOA restrictions, produce no smoke or embers during high-wind conditions common in Texas, and can be used during burn bans that frequently occur during dry Texas summers. They light instantly and turn off with a switch. Wood-burning pits cost less to build but have seasonal restrictions. Many Texas homeowners choose gas for convenience and year-round use.
What concrete finish works best around a fire pit?
Stamped concrete with a flagstone or slate pattern is the most popular choice around Texas fire pits. It provides a non-slip surface, resists staining from ash and embers, and withstands heat radiating from the pit. Exposed aggregate is another excellent option that hides wear well. Avoid highly polished finishes near fire pits as they become slippery when wet. A medium broom finish is the most practical and affordable option.
How far should a fire pit be from the house in Texas?
Texas fire codes typically require fire pits to be 10 to 25 feet from any structure, fence, overhead branch, or combustible material. Check your specific city code, as Dallas requires 15 feet minimum while Austin requires 10 feet. The fire pit should also be in a well-ventilated area, not under a covered patio or pergola unless it is a gas fire pit with proper clearances specified by the manufacturer.
Can a concrete fire pit be built on an existing patio?
Yes, if the existing patio slab is at least 4 inches thick and in good condition. The fire pit is built on top of the slab using concrete block or poured concrete forms. For gas fire pits, a channel must be cut in the slab for the gas line. The patio surface may need a heat-resistant pad beneath the fire pit. Weight is generally not an issue since patios are designed to support significant loads.
