Fire pits & lighting · Sacramento area

Fire & light for long nights.

A fire pit or outdoor fireplace makes a patio usable well past sunset, and good lighting makes it safe and good-looking after dark. DG Landscape Design builds both into the plan, so the gas, power and placement are right from the start.

Know before you build

Things to plan for.

Burn-day rules

Sacramento-area air districts restrict wood burning on some winter days. A gas fire pit avoids that.

Clearances

Fire features need room from walls, overhangs, fences and trees. David places them during design, not after.

Plan the wiring early

Running conduit and gas before the patio is poured is far easier and cheaper than cutting it in later.

Rules change. Confirm with your city, the County or your HOA before you start.

5.0★★★★★ David's Google rating from his past clients

“They rebuilt our deck, added an outdoor kitchen and a trellis, and took care of the plumbing and electrical. It's been two years and everything is still in great shape.”

Questions

Fire & lighting FAQ.

Gas or wood-burning fire pit?

Gas is instant and low-mess but needs a gas line; wood gives the real crackle but brings smoke and burn-day rules. Sacramento-area air districts restrict wood burning on some winter days, so many people choose gas.

Is landscape lighting expensive to run?

Modern low-voltage LED fixtures use very little power. A transformer with a timer or photocell turns them on at dusk on its own.

Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio?

Often, yes. David looks at the patio surface, clearances and where a gas line would run at the site visit.
