THE FIRE QUESTION FIRST
The fuel you choose dictates the structure, the permit path, the ongoing cost, and how often you actually use it. Get this right up front.
Natural gas is the most popular in London. Runs off your home's gas line. Flip a switch, fire on. No tanks to refill. Cheap per hour. Requires a gas line run by a licenced fitter and municipal permit for the tie-in. Once installed, it's set-and-forget.
Propane is the flexible option. Tank under the feature, lasts several evenings of use. Portable-ish (you can move the feature if you need to). Same aesthetic as natural gas. Fuel cost is higher long term.
Wood burning is the real-fire option. Nothing beats it for ambience and smell. But it's also smoke, ash, storage, and in some London neighbourhoods, restricted by bylaw. Check your zone before building.
WHAT WE BUILD
From a $6K gas fire pit on an existing patio to a $40K integrated fire wall with a water feature. All to code.
Stone or block surround with stainless burner, lava rock or fire glass, hidden gas line. Usually 36 to 60 inches across.
Dining or coffee table height, gas burner in the centre. Lounge-focused. Great for small patios where a pit would dominate.
Vertical fire feature in a retaining or privacy wall. Linear burner, dramatic effect. Often paired with sheer descent water.
Masonry wood-burning pit with proper clearances, ash pit, and spark arrest where needed. Check London bylaw first.
Glazed or stone urn bubbling into a hidden basin. Modern, quiet water feature. See our water features page for pond options.
Thin sheet of water down a stone face. Pairs beautifully with fire walls for a fire + water combo.

Chris walks the site, confirms fuel choice, checks London zoning and gas line feasibility. Permit path nailed down.
Feature size, materials, clearances to combustibles, gas line route. Drawings submitted for gas permit.
Gas line run by licenced fitter during patio/hardscape base prep. Electrical for water feature pumps or ignition systems.
Block or stone surround built. Burner set. Media (lava rock, glass, logs). Igniter and gas controls installed.
Gas pressure test. Municipal inspection. Owner walkthrough on ignition, shutoff, and seasonal care.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes. London has an open-air burning bylaw. Wood burning fires are restricted by zone, setback distance from property lines and structures, and some neighbourhoods are no-burn. Natural gas and propane features are not restricted the same way because they're considered appliances. We check your specific address before building wood.
Yes, for the gas line tie-in. TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) regulates gas work in Ontario, and the connection to your meter needs a licenced gas fitter and a permit. We handle all of that. The feature itself doesn't usually need a building permit if it's ground level.
Gas yes, wood yes. Gas features are all-season — just clear snow off the burner. Wood burning pits work in winter too, obviously. Bubbling urns and water features need to be winterized before freeze.
Three options. Manual: match-lit, cheapest, you turn on gas then light with a long lighter. Push-button: electronic igniter on the feature. Remote: Bluetooth or remote control, light from the patio. We recommend push-button or remote for anything you'll use weekly.
With safe design and supervision, yes. We build with proper clearances, recessed burners, and edge heights that keep flames contained. Glass wind guards and fire screens are optional add-ons. But a fire is a fire — supervise kids like you would around any open flame.
