A fire pit turns a backyard into a destination. In Austin, where evening temperatures drop just enough to make a flame feel perfect from October through April, a custom fire feature extends your outdoor living season by months and becomes the natural gathering point for every event. Red Agave designs and builds fire pits that go well beyond the prefabricated rings sold at hardware stores. We custom-weld steel fire bowls, build floating fire pits that appear to hover over water or gravel, and construct masonry fire features with integrated seating walls.
We work with both gas and wood-burning configurations. Gas fire pits use a dedicated line run from your meter with a key valve or electronic ignition for instant on-off control. We fill gas pits with volcanic rock, tumbled lava stone, or reflective black fire glass depending on the look you want. Wood-burning pits are built with spark screens and proper ventilation for safe, code-compliant operation. The City of Austin allows both gas and wood-burning fire pits on residential properties, but wood-burning pits must be at least 15 feet from any structure and comply with Travis County burn ban regulations. We design every fire pit to meet these codes from the start.
Most custom fire pit projects in Austin range from $4,000 to $18,000 depending on design complexity, materials, and whether the fire feature is integrated into a larger hardscape project or outdoor kitchen. View our Signature Projects to see completed fire features in action.
