Wood-burning is less expensive and gives the classic experience. Gas is instant, cleaner and easier to shut off - and it needs a gas line planned before the patio goes in.

Outdoor Living Spaces in Sandwich, Illinois
An outdoor living space is a patio with a purpose - shade overhead, a fire feature to sit around, lighting that keeps the space usable after dark, and a floor plan that separates cooking, dining and lounging.
In Illinois the payoff is season length. A fire pit and a few well-placed heat sources can add six to eight usable weeks on either end of summer, and overhead structure keeps the space comfortable in July.
We build the whole thing as one project so the pergola posts, lighting conduit, gas line and paver pattern are coordinated before the base is compacted - not chased afterward.

Why It Matters
Longer season
Fire and lighting turn a three-month patio into a seven-month room.
Coordinated trades
Footings, sleeves, conduit and gas lines go in before the paving, so nothing gets cut open later.

Common Questions
Wood-burning or gas fire feature?
Can this be built in phases?
Do I need a permit for a pergola?
Often yes, depending on size, footings and your municipality. We confirm requirements for your address before we start.
Yes, and it should be. We install the sleeves, conduit and footings during phase one so later additions do not mean tearing anything up.
