A REASON TO
STAY OUT A
LITTLE LONGER.

A fire feature can create a natural place to gather after the meal, at the end of the day, or when the evening has more room to run. It should fit the seating, surfaces, and movement around it.

A FIRE FEATURE
NEEDS A PLACE
IN THE EVENING.

The useful question is not just where a fire feature could go. It is what happens around it once people are outside: lingering after dinner, settling into a conversation, or giving the yard one more place to use at the end of the day.

The size of the fire feature should fit the way you want to use the outdoor space.

THE FEATURE SHOULD
BELONG TO THE
SPACE AROUND IT.

The surrounding seating, hard surfaces, access, and nearby gathering areas all shape how the finished space is used. Legacy approaches fire features as part of a planned outdoor-living project, so the conversation can account for the area around the feature as well as the feature itself.

LOOK AT THE
WHOLE
PROPERTY.

A fire feature may sit alongside pavers, retaining walls, artificial turf, an outdoor kitchen or island, concrete, or a putting green. When more than one part of the property is ready to change, Legacy can consider the feature, seating, circulation, grade, surfaces, and surrounding gathering areas as one complete outdoor-living direction.

Material Selection

THE FEATURE AND ITS
SETTING BELONG IN
THE SAME REVIEW.

The fire feature is considered with its proposed fuel type, scale, materials, seating relationship, clearances, circulation, and exposure within the property. Those decisions belong beside the surrounding hardscape and landscape so the finished area reads as one intentional setting. Final direction remains subject to project scope, product availability, and applicable requirements.

Pre-construction process

KNOW WHAT IS
BEING BUILT BEFORE
WORK BEGINS.

Every Legacy project includes an owner-led pre-construction process with a detailed estimate, construction plans, a property-specific 2D rendering, 3D renderings, refined plans, and materials considered before work begins. For a fire feature, that process also gives the proposed placement, scale, fuel direction, seating relationship, and surrounding materials a place in the review.

A property-specific gathering area to review—not a standalone feature placed without its surroundings.

01

CONSTRUCTION PLANS

The detailed estimate is supported by plans prepared around the property and proposed work.

02

2D AND 3D RENDERINGS

A property-specific 2D rendering supports the estimate; 3D renderings develop the direction before construction.

03

MATERIALS CONSIDERED

Materials are considered alongside the plans and renderings so the proposed direction can be reviewed before work begins.

REVIEW THE
PROPOSED
DIRECTION.

The detailed estimate, plans, property-specific renderings, and material direction are reviewed together. That review provides a way to discuss fuel type, access, seating distance, clearances, exposure, finish transitions, and applicable code or permitting considerations before the proposed direction moves into construction.

USE COMPLETED WORK
AS A
REFERENCE.

Completed work can show how scale, material, seating, hardscape, and landscape establish the setting around a fire feature. Use those images to consider the atmosphere and degree of integration you want to discuss; they do not confirm a feature type, fuel, material, scope, or result for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

BEFORE YOU
BEGIN.

Useful context before the first conversation.

Yes. A fire feature can be considered with the seating, surfaces, structure, and gathering areas around it when those elements fit the property.

PLAN THE FEATURE.
DESIGN THE SETTING
AROUND IT.

Share how you want the evening space to feel, who will gather there, and which surrounding areas are ready to change. Legacy can consider the fire feature within a substantial outdoor-living project or complete transformation, with the seating, surfaces, structure, and circulation planned around it.
