Fire pits and features that stretch backyard evenings into the cooler months.
A fire pit or gas feature turns a Canyon Lake hillside property into a gathering place that lasts well into the cooler months when the Hill Country breeze picks up. On steep rocky slopes and shallow soil, placement and foundation matter more than they do on flat ground-and a poorly sited pit can slide or crack as the seasons shift. Corral Bros knows how to build fire features that stay put on Canyon Lake's demanding terrain, from Canyon Lake Hills down to the waterfront.
We handle everything: site selection that respects drainage and slope, stone and masonry work that anchors safely to the bedrock underneath, and gas line coordination if you want clean ignition without the wood hauling. Our team works with the local soil and grade, not against them, so your seating wall or fire ring stands solid for years.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Canyon Lake property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and fire pits & features that holds up to Comal County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Wood-burning fire pits give a traditional fire and crackle with no gas line, while gas fire pits offer instant, controllable, low-mess flame and are easy to use year-round. We build both and help you choose based on convenience, ambiance and local rules.
Rules vary by city and during burn bans, and gas features are generally allowed more broadly than open wood fires. We build fire features to code and place them safely, and we will help you understand local requirements for your property.
Yes, Comal County requires permits for fire features, and the lake authority has setback rules from the waterline. Corral Bros handles the permits and knows the local codes inside out. We'll make sure your pit is sited legally, especially on hillside lots where the rules get trickier.
Cost varies widely depending on the pit type (wood or gas), surround materials, seating walls, and site prep. A free on-site estimate is the only honest way to quote your job. Call us at 737 404 9343 and we'll walk your property and give you real numbers based on what we see.
Stable placement on slope requires proper foundation and drainage. We set pits on compacted base or anchored to bedrock where possible, and grade the surround so water sheds away. Your shallow Hill Country soil can shift seasonally, so we design for that movement from day one.
Wood pits are classic and need no utility work. Gas offers clean ignition and no ash cleanup, but requires a licensed line run and regular inspection. We'll discuss both during your site visit and help you choose based on your lot, budget, and how often you'll use it.
Absolutely. A stone or timber seating wall around the pit ties the whole gathering space together and works well on Canyon Lake properties where the terrain is already dramatic. We integrate the wall with drainage so water and erosion don't undermine either feature.
Comal County code and fire safety set minimum distances, usually 10 to 15 feet from structures and property lines depending on the feature type. Add slope and tree canopy to the mix on a Canyon Lake lot, and safe placement gets more nuanced. We verify every detail before we build.
