At Descendants Landscaping, our clients ask us about the different types of outdoor fireplaces and fire pits all the time. Once we identify their preference of heat source, we can narrow down the styles of pits with the homeowner. The source of heat falls into three specific categories: wood burning, gas, and our favorite, the wood burning fireplace with a gas starter.

Wood Burning Outdoor Fireplaces

Natural wood burning fireplaces are refreshing in so many way. The crackle of flames and the incredible aroma of burning timber add a feeling of nostalgia that’s not as easy to achieve with artificial flames or logs. Although outdoor wood burning fireplaces can be a little more work, there are definitely benefits to owning one. The options for outdoor fireplaces are endless, and wood burning fireplaces are some of our favorites.

Gas Burning Outdoor Fireplaces

Gas burning outdoor fireplaces can be a great choice for people who want a fire but with the convenience of a push button control. Gas or artificial flame logs provide beautiful flickering flames without the work to start, maintain, and clean. Many people enjoy the easy maintenance and the fact that gas logs can easily be started with the push of a button. This type of fire can also be quickly adjusted with the turn of a knob.

Wood Burning Outdoor Fireplaces with Gas Starter

For people who want the best of both worlds, a wood burning fireplace with gas logs could be the best option. Descendants Landscaping can build a fireplace that includes a gas starter for your property in Phoenix, Mesa, or Scottsdale, AZ. This option provides all the beauty of a natural fire made with wood logs but with all the conveniences of an artificial or gas burning outdoor fireplace.
