A custom fire pit transforms your backyard into a year-round gathering place. At ProBuild Construction, we design and build fire pits for homeowners across Plano, Allen, Frisco, Prosper, and Celina. Whether you want a rustic wood-burning stone pit or a sleek gas-fueled fire table, we handle everything from design to final flame.
As a licensed general contractor based in Plano, TX, we build every fire pit with proper gas line installation, drainage, and materials rated for North Texas weather. Our bilingual team (English and Spanish) works directly with you from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.
Wood-Burning Fire Pits: The classic choice. Built with natural stone, brick, or concrete block, these pits create the traditional campfire experience in your backyard. We build them in round, square, or custom shapes with proper ventilation and ash drainage.
Gas Fire Pits (Natural Gas & Propane): Instant flame with a switch or button. No smoke, no ash, no wood to haul. We run dedicated gas lines from your home for a clean, permanent installation. Propane options available for homes without natural gas.
Fire Pit Tables: Elevated fire features with a flat surround for setting drinks and plates. Available in rectangular, round, and square designs with granite, concrete, or manufactured stone tops.
Sunken Fire Pits: Built below grade for a dramatic look. Surrounded by built-in seating walls, sunken fire pits create an intimate conversation area that feels like a private retreat.
Fire and Water Features: Combine fire with water for a stunning visual effect. Fire bowls on top of water walls, or fire pits integrated into pool designs. The ultimate outdoor luxury.
Every fire pit we build uses materials selected for durability and beauty in North Texas conditions:
Natural Stone: Texas limestone, fieldstone, flagstone, and stacked stone. Each pit is unique and blends naturally with the landscape.
Brick: Traditional clay brick in classic red, tan, and gray tones. Timeless look that complements any home style.
Concrete Block: Versatile and cost-effective. Can be finished with stone veneer, stucco, or painted to match your patio.
Steel & Corten: Modern steel fire bowls and Corten (weathering steel) rings that develop a beautiful rust patina over time. Contemporary aesthetic.
Fire Glass & Lava Rock: Decorative media for gas fire pits. Fire glass reflects flames for a dazzling effect. Lava rock provides a natural, rugged look.

How much does a fire pit cost in Plano, TX?
A basic wood-burning stone fire pit starts around $3,000 to $5,000 installed. Gas fire pits with stone surround and seating walls run $5,000 to $15,000 depending on size, materials, and gas line distance. Fire pit tables start around $4,000. We provide detailed quotes after your free consultation with no hidden costs.
Gas vs. wood-burning fire pit: which should I choose?
Gas fire pits are convenient (instant on/off), smoke-free, and low maintenance. Wood-burning pits offer the traditional crackling fire experience and don’t require a gas line. Many of our Plano and Frisco clients choose gas for convenience. If you love the smell and sound of a real wood fire, go wood-burning. We build both and can help you decide.
Do I need a permit for a fire pit in Plano?
In Plano and most DFW cities, gas fire pits require a permit for the gas line installation. Wood-burning fire pits may require a permit depending on size and setback from structures. We check your specific city requirements and handle all permitting so you don’t have to worry about it.
Can you build a fire pit on my existing patio?
Yes, in most cases. If your existing concrete or paver patio is in good condition, we can build directly on it. If the patio needs reinforcing or extending, we handle that too. We also build fire pits in grass areas with a proper concrete foundation beneath.
How far does a fire pit need to be from my house?
Most cities require fire pits to be at least 10-15 feet from any structure, fence, or overhead obstruction. We design every fire pit to meet local setback requirements and ensure safe, comfortable use.
