Fire pits and features that stretch backyard evenings into the cooler months.
Fire pits and features transform Pflugerville backyards from empty staging grounds into real gathering spaces-especially during those cool October through March stretches when the Hill Country nights finally feel good. In dense subdivisions like Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk, and Avalon, where properties sit close together, a well-placed fire feature gives families a reason to stay outside instead of retreating indoors. The heavy black clay that cracks in drought around here demands solid footings and thoughtful drainage, so placement matters just as much as style.
Corral Bros knows how to build fire pits and stone surrounds that sit stable on Pflugerville soil and integrate naturally with seating walls and existing patios. We handle gas line coordination, safe code-aware placement, and the full masonry work-whether you want the clean lines of a modern pit or something more rustic. Every project starts with a free no-obligation on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you can see exactly how the feature will sit in your yard.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Pflugerville property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and fire pits & features that holds up to Travis 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. Heavy black clay requires a solid concrete foundation to prevent cracking and settling, especially in drought. We dig below the freeze line, compact the base, and build on proper footings. This is standard practice in Pflugerville-skipping it guarantees problems within a year or two.
Cost depends on size, materials, gas or wood, and whether we're building a surround or seating wall too. Stone masonry and gas line work add more than a simple wood pit. We give you a detailed estimate on-site with no obligation. Call us at 737-404-9343 to schedule one.
Absolutely. Gas pits are popular in subdivisions because they're cleaner and safer than wood. We coordinate with local gas lines, ensure code-compliant placement, and integrate the feature into your patio or seating area so it looks intentional and finished.
Wood pits offer traditional ambiance and warmth but need regular cleaning and ash removal. Gas is cleaner, more convenient, and easier to control-better for established neighborhood lots where smoke and spark matter. Both work here; it depends on your lifestyle and space.
Proper grading and compaction are non-negotiable in Pflugerville's black clay. We slope the area to shed water, use gravel base layers, and build foundations below the frost line. This prevents the cracking and settling that plague quick, shallow installations.
Yes. Seating walls work well in Falcon Pointe and Avalon, turning a single feature into a real outdoor room. We build it stable on proper footings, grade it for comfort and sight lines, and often tie it visually to your existing hardscape or landscape.
