DMG Masonry builds custom fire pits in Calgary. A good fire pit gives your yard somewhere to sit, gather and stay out longer. We design and build them in natural stone, stone veneer or brick, burning wood or gas.
A fire pit lives outside. It takes heat, rain, snow and freeze-thaw every year, so it has to be built for that. We use durable masonry on a proper base, with joints and finishes chosen to cope with Alberta winters. The result keeps its shape and its look season after season.

Layout, materials, fuel type and how you'll use the fire pit all affect the design, so we work them out first. Then the fire pit sits properly in your yard and works the way you use it.
We build custom fire pits for Calgary homes in modern and rustic styles, with clean finishing from the first course to the final detail.
Fire pits often sit alongside patios, seating walls and outdoor kitchens. We use the same stone throughout, so the whole space looks designed as one.
The material changes how your fire pit looks and how it holds up outdoors. Here are the finishes we use most.
Gives a textured, natural look that suits both traditional and modern yards, and stands up to the weather.
Looks like full stone but weighs less. It's one of the most popular finishes for Calgary fire pits and is still very durable.
A clean, classic finish that suits many backyard styles and handles Calgary's temperature swings.

In a climate like Calgary's, a fire pit is the difference between a yard that gets used four months a year and one that gets used well into the shoulder seasons and on cool summer evenings.
Seating arranged around nothing tends not to get used. A fire pit gives the outdoor space a centre, which is why it is often the piece that makes the rest of a patio work.
A masonry fire pit built on a proper base needs very little beyond clearing ash and the occasional joint check. There is no mechanism to service on a wood-burning build.
Fire pits are usually built alongside patios, seating walls and outdoor kitchens using the same stone, so the finished space reads as one design rather than an add-on.
The fire pit has become our favorite part of the backyard. Big thanks to DMG Masonry.
I was mostly focused on how it would look, but it ended up being a really practical addition too. It's nice having a place where everyone naturally gathers.
It looks natural in the space, and the quality of the stonework really stands out.

Wood-burning fire pits give you the traditional look and feel of a real fire. Gas and propane ones are more convenient: no firewood to manage, and the flame is consistent. Which is better depends on how you plan to use the space.
