An outdoor fire pit does more than add visual appeal, it turns your backyard into a place people actually gather. In the Fraser Valley, where evenings can cool off quickly even in summer, a well-built fire pit extends how often you use your outdoor space and how long guests want to stay.
At Fraser Valley Contracting, we design and build custom outdoor fire pits and seating areas that are safe, durable, and built specifically for our local climate.
Why Homeowners Are Adding Fire Pits to Their Outdoor Spaces
Fire pits have become one of the most requested backyard upgrades in Chilliwack and across the Fraser Valley, and for good reason.
A professionally installed fire pit:
- Creates a natural gathering point for family and guests
- Extends outdoor use into spring, fall, and cooler evenings
- Adds structure and purpose to patios and yard layouts
- Increases overall enjoyment of your landscaping investment
Unlike portable fire bowls, built-in fire pits feel permanent, intentional, and integrated into your space.
Custom Fire Pit Design (Not One-Size-Fits-All)
Every property is different, which is why we don’t install cookie-cutter fire pits.
We tailor each project based on:
- Yard size and layout
- Seating needs (intimate vs. entertaining)
- Existing patios, retaining walls, or garden beds
- Material preferences (stone, concrete, brick, or custom finishes)
Whether you want a cozy corner fire pit or a central feature for entertaining, the design is built around how you’ll actually use it.
Built for Fraser Valley Conditions
Poorly built fire pits can shift, crack, or trap water, especially in a region known for heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles.
Our fire pit installations include:
- Proper base preparation and drainage
- Stable construction to prevent settling or movement
- Materials chosen for long-term durability in wet conditions
- Thoughtful placement to manage smoke, wind, and water flow
This ensures your fire pit stays solid, safe, and usable year after year.
Integrated Seating & Entertainment Areas
A fire pit works best when it’s part of a larger plan.
We often incorporate:
- Built-in seating walls
- Stone or concrete patios
- Defined gathering areas that connect with the rest of the yard
The result is a cohesive outdoor space, not just a standalone feature dropped into the lawn.
Safety Comes First
Fire pits need to be built correctly to be enjoyed safely.
We consider:
- Safe clearances from structures and fencing
- Proper ventilation and placement
- Stable surfaces for seating and foot traffic
Our goal is to create a space that feels comfortable and worry-free, whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening outside.
A Backyard Feature You’ll Use Again and Again
An outdoor fire pit isn’t about trends, it’s about creating a space you actually want to be in.
At Fraser Valley Contracting, we build custom outdoor fire pits and seating areas that fit your lifestyle, your property, and Fraser Valley conditions.
