5 Reasons To Install A Fire Pit in Winter
There’s no reason not to enjoy outdoor living all year long, even when the cold winter months arrive. Whether you're planning the perfect href="https://www.thehomemag.com/inspire/how-to-create-an-awesome-stay-at-home-date-night-atmosphere" target="_blank">at-home date night or extending your backyard entertaining season, there’s nothing like cozying up to a fire pit in winter. Here are five reasons to consider adding a fire pit to your yard.
1. Fire pits serve as unofficial gathering spaces
Whether intended to or not, fire pits draw guests together. Friends and family will naturally migrate to the warmth and friendly vibes of a magical fire. Be sure to add comfortable seating, so your fire pit will be irresistible to you and your guests. Cutting Edge Hardscapes can help you design a beautiful fire pit that will serve as a focal point in your yard.
2. They let you enjoy your yard all winter long while keeping warm
One of the most obvious reasons to install a fire pit for the winter is that it will keep you warm while you enjoy the outdoors even in the coldest weather. Throw on a hat and some mittens, grab a hot toddy, ignite the fire, and enjoy catching up with friends and reconnecting with loved ones around the pit.
3. Fire pits provide ambient lighting and a relaxing vibe
Besides the warmth of a fire pit, the red glow of its flames gives off ambient natural light. From red to orange and blue to yellow, the light of a fire is moody, cozy, and romantic. The rich, warm hues of a fire’s flickering flames are inviting, peaceful, and relaxing. You’ll adore the peaceful escape that a fire pit from Spectrum Landscape Services can provide.
4. They’re perfect for casual cooking
Whether you prefer the rusticity of a wood-burning fire pit or the convenience of a gas one, either is a fun way to casually cook. From roasting hot dogs for a late-night nibble to toasting marshmallows with the family for fireside s’mores, either fire pit style is perfect for producing a quick nosh. Keep a few skewers on hand and you’ll always be ready for a quick fireside snack.
5. Fire pits increase your home value
A surprising benefit of installing a fire pit is that it can increase the value of your home. While not all fire pits are created equal, some estimates reveal that homeowners can recoup up to 80% of the cost of installation. Not surprisingly, fire pits outfitted with a gas line are more valuable than wood-burning fire pits. Home buyers love the charm and beauty of a professionally installed fire pit.
