1. Turn a Bland Patch of Grass Into Your Favorite Summer Spot with the Addition of a Fire Pit

Summer nights should be enjoyed outdoors as often as possible. Therefore, when curating the perfect summer ambiance, we recommend paying special attention to the outdoor spaces. Incorporating a fire pit is a quick way to create a summer hearth to gather around with friends and family. A sleek gas-burning pit gives a distinctly modern aesthetic – opt for a circular shape for friends to gather round, or a rectangular shape to double as a table for entertaining. S’mores anyone?
