Questions
Straight answers.
How much does a stone fire pit cost?
A standalone sandstone or block fire pit (about 1.2m diameter, hand-built, drained base) typically runs $2,200–$4,800 finished. A built-in pit with seating walls and a paved surround runs $6,500–$14,000+ depending on size and stone.
Do I need council approval?
For most suburban backyard fire pits in NSW, no, provided you meet setback rules (typically 3m from boundaries and structures). Bushfire-zone properties have stricter rules — we'll tell you on the site walk where you stand.
What stone or material is best?
Sandstone (Parklea or similar) is the most popular and weathers nicely. Besser block with stone facing is cheaper and still looks good. Recycled brick suits period homes. We avoid materials that crack with heat.
How long does it take?
A standalone fire pit: 2–3 days. A built-in pit with seating walls: 5–10 days. A fire pit plus retaining and paving combo: 2–3 weeks.
Do you use a steel ring inside?
Optional. For longevity, especially on block-built pits, we usually fit a 5mm steel ring or fire-rated refractory brick liner. Pure sandstone pits can be built without one, but need course-checking after a few seasons.
What insurance do you carry?
$20m public liability with NTI, plus workers compensation through Allianz. Certificates available on request.
