We build safe, lasting backyard fire features that add warmth, value, and more time outside.
A well-built fire pit can turn a plain backyard into the place where everyone wants to gather. At Northwood Outdoor Services, we design and build custom fire pit areas for homeowners in Rogers, MN who want more comfort, more function, and more value from their outdoor space. Whether you want a simple spot for family nights or a full patio with a built-in fire feature, we handle the project with the same care we would use at our own home.
Fire pit installation is more than setting a ring of block in the yard. A lasting result starts with the right location, safe clearances, proper base work, strong materials, and a design that fits the rest of your landscape. We look at how you use your yard, the size of the space, drainage, traffic flow, and how the fire pit will connect with patios, walkways, seating walls, landscape lighting, and planting beds. Our goal is to build a fire feature that looks natural in your yard and works well for years.
We offer complete fire pit installation from planning through final cleanup. Every project is tailored to the property, but our service often includes:
No two backyards are the same, so we do not push one-size-fits-all fire pit designs. We build fire pits that match the style of your home and the way you want to use the space. Some homeowners want a round fire pit as a central gathering area. Others prefer a square or rectangular fire feature that lines up with a patio, seating wall, or outdoor living area. We can help you choose a design that feels balanced, inviting, and easy to use.
We also pay attention to scale. A fire pit that is too small can look out of place. One that is too large can take over the yard and limit usable space. We guide you on dimensions, seat spacing, and layout so your finished outdoor fire pit feels comfortable and functional.
We install both wood-burning fire pits and gas fire pits, depending on your goals and your property setup.
Wood-burning fire pits offer the traditional backyard fire experience many families love. You get the natural flame, the crackling sound, and the classic feel of an outdoor campfire area. These are a great choice for homeowners who enjoy a rustic gathering space and do not mind handling firewood and cleanup.
Gas fire pits offer convenience, fast startup, and a cleaner experience with less smoke and ash. They are a popular choice for homeowners who want easy outdoor entertaining and a more polished outdoor living design. Gas options may include natural gas or propane depending on the project and site conditions.
We explain the pros and cons of each so you can make the right choice for your yard, budget, and lifestyle.
A fire pit has to handle heat, weather, and regular use. That is why we focus on quality materials and proper installation methods. Depending on the design, we may use segmental retaining wall block, natural stone, concrete landscape block, or materials that are made to coordinate with your paver patio. For the inside of the fire pit, we use appropriate fire-resistant components when the design calls for them.
We also build on a stable base. Proper excavation, grading, gravel foundation, and compaction help reduce settling and movement over time. This is especially important in Minnesota, where freeze-thaw cycles can be hard on outdoor hardscapes. Our experience with patios, retaining walls, and landscape construction helps us build fire pit areas that are made to last.
Safety is a major part of every fire pit installation. We help choose a location with the right amount of space from the house, garage, fencing, trees, and other structures. We also consider overhead clearance, wind direction, smoke travel, and how people will move around the area. A good fire pit location should feel comfortable and social without creating safety concerns.
We also recommend thinking beyond the fire feature itself. In many cases, the best result includes a patio extension, seating area, stepping stone path, or low-maintenance landscaping around the fire pit. These upgrades make the area easier to use and help the entire backyard feel more finished.
Many of our fire pit projects are part of a larger outdoor living upgrade. If you are already thinking about a paver patio, retaining wall, landscape renovation, or backyard makeover, this is often the perfect time to include a fire feature. Planning the full space together leads to a cleaner design, better traffic flow, and a more cohesive final result.
We regularly install fire pits with:
Because we specialize in transforming ordinary yards into standout outdoor spaces, we know how to make each feature work together instead of looking pieced together.
We keep the process clear and straightforward. It starts with a conversation about what you want from the space. We review the property, discuss style and material options, and make recommendations based on your yard and budget. Once the plan is set, we prepare the site, complete the installation with attention to detail, and leave the area clean and ready to enjoy.
Throughout the project, we focus on communication, craftsmanship, and practical design. We want you to feel confident in the investment and excited about the result.
Homeowners choose Northwood Outdoor Services because we know how to build outdoor spaces that make a real impact. We are not just installing one feature and moving on. We are helping you create a backyard that feels more inviting, more usable, and more valuable. From custom paver patios to complete landscape renovations, we bring the same hands-on care and design focus to every fire pit installation.
When we build a fire pit, we think about the full picture: appearance, durability, safety, comfort, and how the space will be used year after year. That attention to detail helps us deliver finished projects that look great and hold up well.

"Ben and Ally and crew at Eagle Hardscapes were excellent in communication and brought our project to completion just like it was designed and on budget. They did a paver patio with sitting wall, landscaping and drainage . It turned out incredible and on budget. Would highly recommend."
"Highly Recommend Northwood Outdoor Services!! We had a fantastic experience working with Northwood Outdoor Services from start to finish. Ally and Benjamin clearly take pride in their work and did a phenomenal job on our landscaping project! From the initial design discussion through installation, Ally and Benjamin were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. They offered practical suggestions on layout, materials, and plant selection that improved both the look and long‑term functionality of our yard. The quality of workmanship really stood out - grading, planting, and finishing details were handled with care. They were efficient, respectful of the property, and left our yard (and the street) clean at the end of each day. Trust me - not only will we be using them for future large projects, we have already begun discussions with them about ongoing services for later this year! If you’re looking for a reliable, highly skilled landscaping company that combines strong design sense with high‑quality execution and reliable communication, Northwood Outdoor Services is the ONLY choice for your project! We are tremendously pleased with the results...and so are our neighbors. The compliments keep pouring in!"

"Work was done very well and on time. Mike and his crew are very professional. I am very pleased."
"They were very easy to work with! Sometimes I'd need to send an extra text to get a response but as they're out on jobsites all day, I totally understand and would expect that. They texted me after hours which was nice. He was very thoughtful to drop off stone samples when the online pictures made them look like entirely different colors- he got the perfect ones! They were also able to schedule me in right away before an outdoor party we had, so that was super awesome! Before and After pictures of our stone patio stairs and sloping patio"
"Always has great design and finish projects look great"
"We put out a plea on fb yesterday looking for someone that could remove a tree, this weekend, 2 day window. We knew it was a fat chance as most companies are booked at least 3 weeks out. Well.. he responded quickly, came out today (one day later) and removed not just 1.. but 2 trees, removed them, and ground the stumps!! Obviously very highly recommended for any of your tree needs!!!"

I knew exactly what the outcome would be when he was done with our yard project! He is always in time and is a great communicate. Very thankful I had the opportunity to support a local small business!"
"We found the right landscaper when we picked Tyler. His communication was awesome from when he came out to estimate the wall project to when it was completed. Once we told him what we wanted, he told us in detail how he would make the wall we asked for. Because of our color preference, Tyler suggested Versa-Lock blocks and told us where we could see the block colors. He was very thorough, conscientious and his work was very high quality. We highly recommend him to others."

I had met with several landscape companies and had the best overall feeling with Tyler. He was very fair and honest and did a great job with communication, timeliness and most importantly execution. It was a unique job and he came up with creative solutions to maximize the project. I would highly recommend Tyler and Northwood Outdoor Services!"
