When planning outdoor firepit construction for your backyard, there are several factors to consider to ensure safety, functionality, and aesthetics. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:
#1. Location: Choose a level and stable area for your firepit, far away from flammable structures, overhanging tree branches, or vegetation. Ensure there's ample space for seating and circulation around the firepit.
#2. Local regulations: We are familiar with local building codes and regulations for any restrictions or requirements related to firepit construction, such as permits, property setbacks, and approved materials.
#3. Fuel type: Determine whether you prefer a wood-burning, gas, or propane firepit. Each type has its advantages and drawbacks. Wood-burning firepits create a traditional ambiance but may require more maintenance, while gas and propane firepits are often cleaner and easier to use but do require additional utility work to connect the gas.
#4. Materials: Select materials that are heat-resistant, durable, and complement the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Common firepit materials include natural stone, concrete blocks, bricks, and metal inserts. As professionals we're not going to use an unsafe materials.
#5. Design and style: Consider the design and style of your firepit, such as in-ground, above-ground, or fire table, and whether you want a simple or elaborate design. Your firepit's style should complement your home's architecture and the surrounding landscape.
#6. Size: Determine the appropriate size of your firepit, taking into account the size of your backyard, the number of people you typically entertain, and the desired intensity of the fire. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable seating and circulation around the firepit.
#7. Safety features: Incorporate safety features such as a spark guard or screen for wood-burning firepits, proper ventilation for gas or propane firepits, and a fire extinguisher or water source nearby for emergency situations.
#8. Seating and landscaping: Plan the surrounding landscaping and seating to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Consider built-in seating, freestanding chairs, or a combination of both. Incorporate plants, pathways, and lighting to enhance the overall ambiance.
#9. Budget: Establish a budget for your firepit project, taking into account the costs of materials, labor, and any additional landscaping or seating. Typically pricing can be anywhere from $2500 to $10,000 or more. We don't want to show you options that you cannot afford.
#10. Maintenance: Plan for ongoing maintenance of your firepit, such as cleaning out the ashes for wood-burning firepits, inspecting gas or propane lines, and protecting the firepit from the elements with a cover.
By carefully considering these factors, you can create a safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor firepit that enhances your backyard and provides a welcoming space for gathering and relaxation.

Thank you to Ethan and his team! Our property looks the best its ever been, with new shrubs, trimming, and landscaping details. We appreciate working with you and trust your guidance for our property. Great work!!
We had a great experience with Haughey Brothers Landscaping. The job was done quickly, and came out great. Very professional work. We found dealing with them easy. Payment was done seamlessly via their website. They are great with communication. The workers showed up when we were told, and did great work. Would work with them again.
The Haughey Brothers did an excellent job with an expedited install of trees in our front yard. Devin and the team quickly understood our concept and ensured we were able to get what we needed done. Their team was great throughout the job, responsive to on the spot changes, and worked hard, long hours to get it done in a timely manner. Cannot recommend the Haughey Brothers team enough for any landscaping or outdoor improvement job you need!
Haughey Brothers Landscaping did a lot of work on our property and we’ve had a great experience with them. They handle our regular maintenance and also installed our patio and some landscape lighting, and everything came out great. The team is reliable, professional, and easy to work with. We’re really happy with how everything looks and would definitely recommend them.
If you need snow removal or other, look no further than Haughey Brothers Landscaping. They are not only professional but they deliver. I worked with Karl who could not be any nicer and patient. Had a hard task of getting removal done within a tight timeline and he made sure it happened. We will be using them for landscaping this spring and strongly recommend that you use them too!
This summer was our first with Haughey Brothers Landscaping and we couldn’t be more pleased. Their work was top notch, they were fair in their pricing, and I was impressed at how quickly they responded to any texts or calls. They offer many lawn services but didn’t push the ones you didn’t want. We used them this weekend after a heavy snowfall to snowplow the driveway and walkway and they did an amazing job. If you are looking for landscapers, that go out of their way to please their customers I would highly recommend the Haughey Brothers.
My wife called many snow removal people and companies based on neighbor recommendations. However, they did not return phone calls, or promised to visit and give an estimate, but never did so. Finally, my wife called Haughey Brothers Landscaping based on their Google reviews. My wife spoke on Friday with a polite lady in their office. This lady emailed my wife an estimate for their regular service based on a Google satellite image of our property on Saturday. I spoke with a man in their office on Monday. I asked for one-time removal of the existing snow and ice. The main said that I need to sign their regular contract first in order to have a one-time removal of existing snow and ice. I signed both contracts a few minutes later. The man promised to send a crew the same day, To my surprise, a truck carrying a skid-steer loader arrived at my property around 4:30pm the same day. The driver cleared my driveway, and then used a shovel to clean the parts that the loader missed. He then clearned by walkway and steps with a shovel, and finally spread a generous amount of ice melter on my driver. I did not have to tell him to clear this or that part of the driver that he missed. My review is based on the one-time cleanup Haughey Brothers did for me. I will update this review after the season will end to include my experience with their regular snow removal contract. In summary, I paid much and got an excellent service.
I no longer need to be concerned when a snowstorm hits my area, since Haughey Brothers Landscaping takes care of my snow removal. I work at a hospital, and I HAVE to be available to get to work on time--snow is not an excuse! This is my 2nd year using their snow removal services. Highly recommend them! They also are polite, professional, and easy to work with.
We’ve had a great experience with this landscaping business and highly recommend them. They do an excellent job with regular cleaning and maintenance of both our front and back yard, and our bushes always look well cared for and neatly maintained. During the winter season, their salting and shoveling services are just as reliable and thorough, which gives us real peace of mind. They’re very responsive to inquiries, easy to communicate with, and the new payment system is incredibly convenient. Their pricing is reasonable for the quality of work they provide, and we truly appreciate their consistent, dependable service. It’s refreshing to work with a company that clearly takes pride in what they do.
We can always count on the Haughey Brothers + their team for all of our landscaping needs! We get a lot of compliments on our yard and landscaping and that’s thanks to them 🙂 Highly recommend!!
We are so grateful for the outstanding work that Devin from Haughey Brothers Landscaping and his team did to transform our front yard. I am super impressed with his teams attention to detail, but even more impressed with his ability to employ creative design ideas that we didnt expect and that really make the property stand out. Devin gave me a timeline and he stuck to it, and every element—from the plant selections to the landscape lighting looks beautiful. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Devin and the Haughey Brothers team!
Very Happy with Haughey Brothers to meet my landscaping needs.
Haughey Brothers Landscaping helped transform our backyard with a new fence and beautiful arborvitae. They did a great job and we highly recommend!
Haughey Brothers and Staff were considerate and respectful addressing all of my questions and helped me so I could get exactly what I wanted in my landscaping ideas.
Haughey Brothers Landscaping LLC deserves every one of these five stars! Their attention to detail is unmatched—my yard has never looked better. They know exactly when to mow and when to hold off, ensuring the grass stays healthy and pristine. Every job they do is top-notch, from edging to clean-up. If you want a landscaping team that truly cares and delivers perfection, Haughey Brothers is the way to go! Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic experience working with Haughey Brothers Landscaping to redo our fence, retaining wall, patio, and sod. Going into it, we weren’t sure how to navigate the different needs of our yard, but they walked us through every option, broke the project into clear phases, and provided detailed estimates for each, working with us to stay within budget. Initially, we expected the work to start much later, possibly not until August. Just two weeks after our first conversation, everything was done! The fence is flawless, the retaining wall is solid and clean, and the new grass looks incredible. They stayed in touch every step of the way, sticking to both timelines and costs. At one point, a miscommunication led to part of our yard being cleared of grass while we weren’t home. We were surprised to come back and see it, but the team responded right away with a thoughtful solution and made sure everything was restored quickly and seamlessly. That kind of responsiveness and care really stood out. We just hosted our first backyard BBQ this past weekend, and for the first time, we’re truly able to enjoy our outdoor space. Haughey Brothers will be my top choice for all future lawn projects!
Haughey Brother’s Landscaping did a phenomenal job working on our backyard walkway. Absolutely beautiful work.
Devin and his team were incredibly professional. They walked us through every step of the process to help us get to what we were looking for. Great patio work as well as over all landscaping. Additionally, when we had follow up questions or changes to our original plan Devin and his team where so receptive to seeing our vision through. Final product exceeded expectations
Great service! This is my second time using Haughey Brothers Landscaping and it was again a great experience with an outstanding final result. Super responsive and worked with me throughout the process to ensure the yard was exactly what I was looking for. I will use them in the future for all my landscaping needs. Highly Recommend!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Haughey Brothers to complete several improvements to our home, including an entire new landscape design and installation for our front yard, planting privacy trees on our side yard, a river rock design around our pool, playground mulch installation and sod installation in the backyard. We are so happy that we decided to go with Haughey Brothers, as the completed work came out so much nicer than we could have ever imagined. From start to finish, Devin, Ethan and his team maintained great communication and completed their work in a timely manner, especially considering all the rain they had to work around. I highly recommend Haughey Brothers for all your landscaping needs!
