Great article! You encapsulated the DIY versus professional fire pit argument well, with a focused conversation on safety, material codes, and longevity. Most homeowners consistently make the mistake of only considering the cost, but as you mention, the wrong materials or the fire pit built too close to structures does not make for a safe situation. Many will also forget to plan assessing materials, labor, and overall project requirements. This is the value a construction stimation services provides, knowing the full scope and cost perspective, before they ultimately decide if a DIY project is feasible or not. If it is anything beyond just a basic wood-burning ring, the smarter, safer choice is to hire a professional like Larkin Landscape so the fire pit is aesthetically pleasing, structurally sound, and built to last.
