Fire Pit Areas That Become the Heart of Your Backyard
Okanagan summers are genuinely special — warm evenings that stretch past 9 p.m., clear skies, the smell of the valley in the air. A professionally built fire pit area changes your backyard completely. When you have a defined space — a proper pad, a comfortable seating area, maybe a low stone wall to perch on — your backyard stops being somewhere you walk through and starts being somewhere you actually want to spend time. Wildscape designs and builds complete outdoor living areas throughout Penticton and the South Okanagan.
01
Design Your Outdoor Living Vision
We meet at your property, look at the space together, and talk about how you want to use it. Fire pit style, seating arrangement, materials, lighting — we’ll help you put a clear picture together before anything gets built.
02
Materials & Fire Pit Selection
We’ll walk you through your options — wood-burning vs. gas, natural stone vs. manufactured, built-in seating wall vs. open layout. Every choice gets explained clearly so you can make decisions with confidence.
03
Build Day — We Handle Everything
Our crew does the excavation, base prep, fire pit construction, surface installation, and any finishing details like lighting or edging. We leave your yard cleaner than we found it.
What a Fire Pit Area Does for Your Property
More Evenings Outside
A fire pit extends your usable outdoor season well into September and October in the Okanagan. Even cooler evenings become comfortable when you’ve got a good fire going and a proper place to sit.
Backyard Becomes a Destination
A well-designed fire pit area gives your outdoor space a focal point and a reason to gather. It transforms your backyard from an afterthought into somewhere people actually want to be.
High-ROI Home Improvement
Outdoor living improvements consistently rank among the best returns in home renovation. A professionally built fire pit area and outdoor living space adds real, tangible value to your property.

⭐ What Okanagan Homeowners Say
★★★★★
“We always talked about doing something with our backyard but never got around to it. Finally called Wildscape and it was the best decision we’ve made for our home in years. They built us a beautiful circular fire pit area with a paver pad and low stone seating wall. We’ve used it nearly every weekend since.”
★★★★★
“I gave Wildscape a rough idea of what I wanted and they completely transformed my backyard. New paver patio, fire pit, seating wall, low-voltage lighting — the whole thing. It honestly looks like something out of a magazine. The craftsmanship is excellent and they were a pleasure to work with.”
★★★★★
“Wildscape built us a fire pit pad with integrated pathway lighting and it completely changed how we use our backyard in the evenings. The quote was clear, the timeline was accurate, and the finished product exceeded my expectations. I’ve already recommended them to two neighbours.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Wood-burning or gas fire pit — which should I choose? ▼
Both have real advantages. Wood-burning fire pits are often preferred for the authentic crackling fire experience, the ambience, and lower upfront cost. Gas fire pits offer instant on/off convenience, no smoke or ash, and are easier to use on short notice. We’ll help you think through which fits your lifestyle and property best.
Are there building codes or fire safety rules I need to know about? ▼
Yes — most municipalities in BC have setback requirements for open fires. Penticton and surrounding communities also follow BC Wildfire Service open burning regulations, which can restrict or prohibit burning during high fire hazard periods. We’re familiar with local bylaws and will make sure your fire pit is built in compliance.
What are my options for seating walls? ▼
Built-in seating walls are one of the most popular additions to a fire pit area. We can build seating walls using natural stone, manufactured retaining wall block, or poured concrete with a stone veneer. Heights typically range from 18 to 24 inches with a flat capstone on top for a comfortable sitting surface.
What does a fire pit area typically cost? ▼
Cost varies based on the size of the area, materials chosen, whether you’re adding a seating wall, lighting, or a gas line. A simple fire pit pad with surrounding paver surface can start around $3,000–$5,000. We’ll give you a detailed, itemized quote after we’ve seen your space.
How long does the build take? ▼
A standalone fire pit pad with seating area is typically completed in 2–4 days. A larger outdoor living space with multiple elements may take 5–10 days depending on complexity. We’ll give you a clear timeline when we quote the project.
