Bring Family & Friends Together Around the Fire
Few elements create atmosphere like the natural glow of a fire. For over two decades, Arturo Uribe and his team at A Uribe Landscaping have been designing and installing custom fire pits and outdoor fire features that turn Chicagoland backyards into warm, welcoming retreats.
Each project is built for beauty, safety, and long-term performance — blending seamlessly with paver patios, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas. Whether you prefer a modern gas fire bowl or a classic wood-burning stone pit, Arturo’s designs make every evening outdoors memorable.
The Benefits of Adding a Fire Pit or Fire Feature
If you’ve ever searched “Are fire pits worth it?” or “What’s the best outdoor fire feature for my backyard?”, here’s why so many homeowners in Orland Park, New Lenox, and the surrounding Chicagoland suburbs are choosing to add one to their outdoor spaces.
1. Year-Round Enjoyment
A fire pit extends the outdoor season, allowing you to gather comfortably in spring, fall, and even mild winter evenings. It adds both warmth and light, creating a cozy space to unwind.
2. Perfect Entertainment Focal Point
A fire feature becomes the centerpiece of your backyard — ideal for conversations, roasting marshmallows, or hosting family nights under the stars. It naturally draws people together.
3. Customizable Design Options
We design fire pits in round, square, or freeform shapes, using natural stone, pavers, or decorative block that complement your patio and home’s exterior. Choose from wood-burning, natural gas, or propane options to fit your lifestyle.
4. Safety & Durability
Our fire pits are built with heat-resistant materials, solid bases, and professional ventilation, ensuring safety and stability for decades of use.
5. Adds Value & Ambiance
A professionally built fire feature adds instant curb appeal and increases your home’s market value. More importantly, it creates an atmosphere of relaxation and luxury — right in your own backyard.
The Visual Impact of a Fire Feature
A fire pit transforms an ordinary patio into a stunning outdoor living area. The dancing flames reflect off stonework, pavers, and landscape lighting, creating depth and contrast that completely changes your space after sunset.
Arturo Uribe’s signature approach blends warmth, artistry, and functionality — crafting outdoor spaces that look just as impressive as they feel. Whether you’re pairing your fire pit with an outdoor kitchen, seating wall, or landscape lighting, the finished look is nothing short of spectacular.
Common Questions About Fire Pits & Fire Features
How much does a custom fire pit cost in Chicagoland?
The cost of a custom fire pit in the Chicagoland area typically ranges from $4,500 to $15,000+, depending on materials, size, and whether you choose gas or wood-burning. A Uribe Landscaping provides onsite consultations and detailed estimates for every design.
Is a gas or wood-burning fire pit better?
It depends on your preferences. Gas fire pits are clean, convenient, and easy to start, while wood-burning pits offer a traditional ambiance and aroma. Arturo can design either option — or a hybrid — to fit your space and lifestyle.
Can I add a fire pit to my existing patio?
Yes! We frequently retrofit fire features into existing patios, ensuring proper ventilation, spacing, and aesthetic alignment with your current layout.
Are fire pits safe for backyards in Illinois?
When professionally built, absolutely. We follow local safety codes and setback requirements to ensure your fire pit is safe, functional, and compliant with municipal guidelines.
Do I need to maintain my fire pit?
Minimal maintenance is needed. Routine cleaning and occasional inspection of gas lines or stonework keep your fire feature performing beautifully for years.
