KK Ranch Stone & Gravel FirepitAdding a firepit to your home creates a destination during the cool, winter months. Just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't still get out and enjoy your outdoor space.

Firepits create a place to congregate, entertain, and enjoy fellowship with friends and loved ones. Who doesn’t enjoy kicking your feet up after a long day and enjoying a beverage and a bite to eat by an open fire? Constructing your own firepit can seem like an arduous task; however, the KK Ranch Stone & Gravel sales team can help you choose the right materials.

The Best Rock Products For Base Construction

We offer numerous options to help create the perfect outdoor space of your dreams. The construction of the base of your pit is important to consider. While you can use bare ground as a base, it can create a messy mush when the ash mixes with dirt and it gets wet.

One solution is to utilize sand instead. Sand is an inexpensive base layer that keeps ash from turning the ground to mud. KK Ranch Stone & Gravel offers a general, all-purpose sand that would fit the bill for that purpose.

Gravel is another common base option. KK Ranch Stone & Gravel offers two separate alternatives for gravel. We offer Fairland Pink Gravel and Black Star Gravel as options for your firepits.

Whatever you choose, avoid river rock and other stones that hold water, which can crack or pop when heated, and check local burn rules before you build.

Finish Your Firepit With Beautiful Stone 

Once you have decided on the base substance for your firepit, KK Ranch Stone & Gravel also offers numerous choices to finish out your outdoor space making it a true thing of beauty. To aid in the completion of the exterior of your firepit, KK Ranch Stone & Gravel has everything you need.

We offer chopped stone, building stone, patio stone and even boulders depending upon the aesthetic you want to achieve. All of these options will make your backyard firepit look polished, aesthetically pleasing, and ready to host your friends and family and make beautiful memories.  Whatever look you are wanting to achieve, KK Ranch Stone & Gravel has you covered.
