Fire Features
The gathering point after sunset.
Fire transforms an outdoor space into an evening destination. Black Oak designs and builds fire pits and fireplaces with proper clearances, gas line engineering, and materials that complement your patio, deck, or pavilion.
Overview
Gas and wood-burning fire pits and fireplaces for outdoor living. As part of our outdoor features & enhancements practice, every fire features project is designed and built under one roof — from permitting through final walk-through.
