Fire Pits Flower Mound TX
A stone circle, a real fire, and a reason to stay outside.
Fire Pits Flower Mound TX homeowners ask us for are built the permanent way: stone rings on a proper pad, lined for the heat, with room for a full circle of chairs and often a seating wall to hold the crowd. Flower Mound Patio Covers designs each fire pit at the home it will warm, and The JBN Group has been building across North Texas since 1996.

Fire Pits Flower Mound TX Families Circle Around
A fire pit does not need a roof, a door, or much of a plan. It needs a fire, a circle, and people with nowhere better to be.
That is why the fire pit is the hardest-working square footage in a Flower Mound backyard. It sits outside the covered patio, at the edge of a cedar patio cover or on its own pad out on the lawn, and it works in every season: s'mores in July, a blanket and a ballgame on the radio in October, hot drinks in January. No other structure gets used by every age in the family, the same night, without anyone touching a remote.
Built in stone, it is also permanent, which a store-bought bowl is not. The ring is lined to take the heat, the pad drains after storms, and a seating wall can be built into the design so the circle is always set up and waiting. Call 972-492-5466 and we will find the spot where yours belongs.

What Goes Into a JBN Fire Pit
A fire pit is simple to look at and easy to build badly. These six parts keep ours from cracking, settling, or smoking out the circle.
Stone Ring and Capstones
The ring is laid in stone matched to your house and capped with flat stones that double as a rim for drinks and feet.
Firebrick Liner
The inside is lined with firebrick, so the heat cycles against material made for them instead of cracking the outer stone.
Wood Deck or Gas Burner
Wood pits get a grate and room for a real log fire. Gas pits get a burner over lava rock with the line run as part of the build.
Pad and Drainage
The pit stands on a stone or concrete pad that drains, so the morning after a storm the circle is dry, not a pond.
Seating Built or Planned
A curved seating wall in matching stone, or space laid out for chairs with room to walk behind them. The circle is part of the design.
Safe Distances
The pit is sited clear of the house, fences, and low limbs, and to the town's rules for open fires. Pretty matters. Safe comes first.
The layout is a circle
Room for Every Chair, Every Time
A fire pit's design is mostly geometry: a fire in the middle, heat reaching every seat, and enough room behind the chairs to walk, fetch another log, or hand a kid a marshmallow stick. Get the circle's size right and the space feels generous. Get it wrong and knees bake while backs freeze.
We lay the circle out at full size in your yard before anything is built, chairs and all, so you can sit in it and judge the distances yourself. That ten minutes with a garden hose marking the ring is the best design tool there is.
After dark
The Fire Is the Light, the Heat, and the Plan
Most backyard structures go quiet after dark. The fire pit is the exception: dark is when it starts. The fire lights the circle, the heat holds the group, and nobody checks the time because nobody wants to be the first to stand up.
That is why fire pits anchor the far end of so many of our projects, out past the fireplace under the cover. Two fires, two rooms, one yard that stays alive to the fence line.
How it works
From Hose Outline to First Fire
We Mark the Circle
We set the pit's spot and full size out in the yard with you, chairs included, checking wind, distances, and the view from the patio.
Design and One Written Price
Stone, size, wood or gas, pad, and any seating wall are settled in the design and priced once, in writing, as one build.
Review and Gas Permit
We handle the neighborhood architectural review and, for gas pits, the permit for the line run before we break ground.
Build the Pad and Ring
Our crew sets the pad, lays the stone and liner, builds any seating wall, and leaves the circle swept and ready for a fire.
Cold nights are the point
Winter Is Fire Pit Season in Texas
North Texas winters are mild by the calendar and sharp by the evening, which is exactly fire pit weather. A strong fire, a blanket over the chair back, and a hot drink turn the coldest months into the fire pit's busiest season.
If your yard's covered patio handles summer, the fire pit handles the rest of the year. Tell us the whole picture at the design visit and we will place both so each one makes the other better.

Questions Flower Mound homeowners ask
Fire Pits Flower Mound TX FAQs
How much does a built-in fire pit cost in Flower Mound, TX?
Estimates start as low as $8,500, depending on what your project needs. A fire pit is often built as part of a larger patio project, and its price follows the stone, the size, wood or gas, and whether a seating wall or a new pad is part of the design. We lay it out at your home and give you one written price for the whole build before work starts.
Should I choose a wood-burning or a gas fire pit?
Wood gives the crackle, the smell, and the s'mores fire, and asks for a wood stack and ash cleanup. Gas starts with a switch, stops just as fast, and burns clean over lava rock, with a gas line run as part of the build. Both sit in the same stone structure. Most families know which one they are by the second question at the design visit.
Can a fire pit go under my patio cover?
No. Open flame and rising heat do not belong under a cedar ceiling. A fire pit sits at the edge of the covered patio or out on its own pad, close enough to share the evening and far enough to keep the cover and its ceiling safe. The fire that belongs under a cover is a masonry fireplace, built with a chimney that carries smoke clear of the roofline.
Where on the patio or lawn should the fire pit go?
Where the circle of chairs fits with room to walk behind them, clear of the house, fences, and low limbs, and sited to the town's rules for open fires. On the patio it usually extends the covered space into the open yard. On the lawn it gets its own circular pad. We set the spot with you at the design visit, wind and seating included.
Do I need HOA approval for a fire pit in Flower Mound?
A masonry fire pit usually goes through the same architectural review as other backyard structures in Flower Mound's master-planned neighborhoods, and gas work needs a permit. We draw the design to your neighborhood's guidelines and handle the permit side of the gas run, so approval is planned from the start.
Can a seating wall be built around the fire pit?
Yes, and it is the piece that finishes the space. A curved stone seating wall matches the pit's stone, holds a crowd without dragging chairs out, and takes cushions for comfort. It is built on its own footing with the pit as one project, so the circle reads as a single design.
How do we start a fire pit project?
Call 972-492-5466 or use the quote form on this page. We come to your home, find the spot where the circle fits, and design the pit, the pad, and any seating wall with you. Then you get one written price for that build before you commit to anything.
