There’s something timeless about gathering around a fire. Whether it’s roasting marshmallows with the kids, sipping wine on a cool fall night, or simply enjoying quiet time under the stars, a fire pit adds warmth, ambiance, and functionality to your outdoor living space. For homeowners in Canton, GA, and throughout North Georgia, a custom fire pit isn’t just a luxury—it’s an upgrade that enhances your landscape, lifestyle, and property value.
At Complete Horticulture & Tree Service, we specialize in designing and installing premium outdoor fire pits that blend beautifully with your existing hardscape and landscape features. If you’re considering investing in one for your home, here’s everything you need to know.
What Makes a Fire Pit a Smart Investment?
Installing a fire pit isn’t just about the flame—it’s about what it brings to your space: comfort, community, and style. Here’s why more homeowners are choosing to include fire features as part of their landscape design:
1. Extended Outdoor Living
With a fire pit, your backyard becomes usable well into fall and even early winter. It adds natural heat and light to your space, allowing you to enjoy crisp Georgia evenings outdoors instead of heading inside once the sun goes down.
2. Social Focal Point
Fire pits naturally draw people in. Whether it’s a summer barbecue or a quiet night with close friends, people gather around fire. It becomes the anchor of your backyard—just like a fireplace is in a living room.
3. Increased Property Value
Well-designed outdoor living features—including custom fire pits, patios, and seating areas—add value to your home. Buyers in areas like Canton, Woodstock, and Milton are actively looking for homes that blend luxury and livability, and a fire feature checks both boxes.
4. Custom Style Options
From sleek modern gas fire bowls to rustic stone wood-burning pits, the design options are nearly endless. Your fire pit can be built to match your home’s architectural style and integrated seamlessly into your outdoor space.
Types of Fire Pits We Install in North Georgia
At Complete Horticulture, we offer a range of fire pit options tailored to your property, lifestyle, and budget. Each one is built for long-term durability, safety, and style.
1. Wood-Burning Fire Pits
These classic fire pits offer the full experience: the crackle of real wood, the smell of burning oak or hickory, and the nostalgic feel of a campfire. We build permanent wood-burning fire pits using natural stone, pavers, or brick, designed to contain heat safely and withstand Georgia’s changing weather.
Best for: Homeowners who love a rustic, traditional atmosphere and don’t mind tending a fire.
2. Gas Fire Pits
Gas-powered fire pits offer the ultimate in convenience and cleanliness. With a quick turn of a key or flip of a switch, you’ve got instant flames—no smoke, no cleanup.
We work with licensed professionals to install natural gas or propane lines as part of a complete, code-compliant system. Design-wise, gas fire pits can be customized in dozens of finishes, from concrete to stacked stone, with fire glass or lava rock for a polished look.
Best for: Low-maintenance homeowners, modern aesthetics, or outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas.
3. Fire Pit Tables
Looking to maximize functionality? Fire pit tables provide a centerpiece for entertaining while still delivering the warmth and glow of a traditional fire. These are popular additions to outdoor patios, pergola-covered dining spaces, and poolside lounges.

Things to Consider Before Installing a Fire Pit in Georgia
If you’re planning a fire pit, here are a few practical items to think about before you get started:
1. Local Fire Codes and HOA Rules
In most parts of Cherokee County and North Fulton, wood-burning fire pits are allowed—but there may be setbacks from structures or specific rules about gas lines. We handle all permitting needs and check HOA guidelines to ensure full compliance.
2. Wind and Drainage
Your fire pit should be placed in a low-wind area and built on a proper drainage base. We grade and prep the area to ensure water doesn’t pool and that smoke doesn’t blow directly onto your patio or into open windows.
3. How You’ll Use the Space
Do you want to entertain large groups? A circular stone seating area may be ideal. Want something low-maintenance for two people? A gas fire bowl near the deck might be perfect.
We’ll help you think through how you plan to use your fire pit and recommend the best design and layout.
