Custom-designed natural-gas firepits, masonry fireplaces, fire tables, and fire bowls. Designed, permitted, and installed across San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, and the East Valley by a licensed Arizona hardscape contractor.
Get a QuoteEvery Amberstone fire feature is custom-built — sized to the patio, faced to match the hardscape, and routed to the fuel source you've chosen. Finish, shape, and insert style are yours to spec; engineering and install are ours.
Tied directly to your home's natural-gas line. Push-button start, no tanks, no smoke, no cleanup, no hassle. The most popular option for homeowners who want fire on demand without the maintenance of wood.
Concealed-tank designs for backyards without a gas stub or for ramadas and freestanding lounge zones. Same instant ignition and clean burn as natural gas, fueled from a hidden cabinet or pour-in-place enclosure.
For homeowners who want the crackle, the wood-smoke smell, and the campfire feel. Built in stone, masonry block, or paver-wrapped surrounds with proper drainage and an ash-management plan.
Full masonry fireplaces with a hearth, chimney, and mantel. Faux-log sets or fire-glass beds. Corrosion-resistant materials, code-compliant clearances, and a vent design sized for Arizona's wind patterns.
Lower-profile features that double as gathering surfaces — rectangular tables for dining patios, sculptural bowls as architectural anchors. Glass, lava rock, or ceramic log inserts in the finish of your choice.
Built-in benches that wrap a fire pit, with paver caps that match the patio and material continuity from wall to pit to coping. The fire feature stops being a freestanding object and becomes part of the room.
A gas fire feature is a permanent connection to your home's fuel supply. That requires a permit, a licensed general contractor, and an inspector sign-off — not a weekend project. Amberstone holds Arizona ROC #311384 as a licensed general contractor, and we are bonded and insured. We route the gas line, coordinate with the inspector, pull the paperwork, and pressure-test the line before the first burner is lit. You sign off on the design; we handle everything between the meter and the match.
Most East Valley HOAs require a submittal for any built-in feature taller than a low seating wall — fireplaces, fire tables, and any structure tied to a gas line almost always need approval. We've worked through approvals in San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, Gilbert, and Chandler communities and can supply elevations, materials samples, and the contractor licensing documents your HOA's architectural review committee typically asks for.
Natural gas is the easiest to live with day to day: no tanks, no smoke, no cleanup, push-button ignition. It does require a gas stub in your yard or a line run from the meter. Propane gives you the same convenience without a gas line — but you trade the cost of refilling tanks. Wood-burning gives you the real campfire experience (smell, crackle, radiant heat) at the cost of cleanup, ash management, and HOA scrutiny. On a first install we'll walk your yard, look at gas-stub locations, and recommend the option that fits your patio and how you'll actually use it.
A backyard fire pit for four to six people typically lands in the 60,000–90,000 BTU range — enough heat to gather around without forcing guests back from the seating wall. Larger features (8+ seats, exposed patios, breezier sites) push toward 120,000–150,000 BTU. We'll size the burner to the pit dimensions, the surrounding wind exposure, and how close the seating walls sit, so the fire feels intentional, not undersized.
The International Residential Code requires clearance from any combustible structure — typically 10 feet from siding, eaves, and overhead branches for an open fire pit, with reduced clearances allowed for sealed gas appliances. Local jurisdictions in Pinal and Maricopa counties can add their own setbacks. We confirm the exact clearance during design so you don't end up with a pit that has to be moved at inspection.
Most fire features go in alongside a patio refresh, an outdoor kitchen, or a water feature. We build the whole room.
The hardscape foundation a fire feature anchors. Pavers, decorative concrete, or flagstone — sized and shaped to make the fire pit the room's center.
Grill, counter, storage, and gas-fed appliances on the same line as your firepit — designed and permitted as one project so the trades don't trip over each other.
Fire and water are the two anchors of a destination backyard. We build both — and we plan the lighting so they read at night.
