Luxury Custom Stone Fire Pits Across the Carolinas
Bring the classic campfire experience to your backyard with unmatched elegance and safety. With over 8 years of experience, SunSouth Carolinas designs and builds stunning, code-compliant stone fire pits that transform your patio into a warm, year-round gathering destination.
Why Homeowners in the Carolinas Choose Us for Fire Pits
A metal, store-bought fire pit might last a single season before rusting away and staining your patio. Furthermore, DIY fire pits often lack proper heat shielding and ventilation, leading to cracked patio pavers, uncontrollable smoke, or serious fire hazards. At SunSouth Carolinas, we build permanent, luxurious fire features engineered for safety and comfort. Whether you prefer the crackle of a wood-burning stone circle or the instant convenience of a smokeless gas fire pit, we integrate the feature flawlessly into your landscape. From pulling fire permits to running underground gas lines, we handle every detail so you can just relax and enjoy the warmth.
Code-Compliant & Safe
Our CMHA-certified crews build with premium firebricks and proper heat-resistant barriers, ensuring your fire pit is as safe as it is beautiful.
Turnkey Utility & Permit Management
We handle all city zoning permits and safely coordinate any necessary underground gas lines for modern, push-button fire features.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stone Fire Pits
It depends entirely on your lifestyle. Wood-burning fire pits offer the authentic campfire experience, complete with the crackle and high heat, but require buying wood and cleaning ash. Gas fire pits (natural gas or propane) offer ultimate convenience—starting instantly with the push of a button—with zero smoke and zero cleanup. We custom-build both options.
For safety and code compliance, most municipalities in North and South Carolina require a wood-burning fire pit to be located at least 15 to 25 feet away from any combustible structure (including your house, wooden deck, or overhanging trees). Gas fire pits often have slightly more flexible clearance rules. We evaluate your property during the consultation to ensure a safe, legal placement.
Yes, in most cases. Permanent outdoor fire features usually require adherence to local fire codes and zoning setbacks. If you are installing a gas fire pit, plumbing and mechanical permits are strictly required for the gas lines. SunSouth Carolinas handles 100% of the permit process for you, ensuring your project is completely legal and safe.
Yes, provided the patio was built correctly. We use specialized, heat-resistant firebricks for the interior of the fire pit to ensure the intense heat does not transfer downward and crack your existing patio pavers. If you have a wooden or composite deck, we will need to explore alternative, highly insulated gas options.
The core of any permanent fire pit must be lined with firebrick (refractory brick) designed to withstand extreme temperatures. For the exterior veneer, we recommend premium manufactured stones from brands like Techo-Bloc and Belgard, or natural fieldstone, both of which offer incredible durability and a luxury finish that matches your home.
