Fire pits and features that stretch backyard evenings into the cooler months.
San Marcos sits on spring-fed riverland where cool months stretch longer than in Austin or San Antonio-and a fire pit is the natural way to claim your backyard for October through April. Whether you own a Blanco Gardens rental, a Willow Creek river property, or an active-adult home in Kissing Tree, a well-built fire feature turns an underused yard into the gathering place of the neighborhood.
Our thin upland soils and limestone bedrock mean placement and foundation matter more here than in looser ground. Corral Bros knows how to dig, set footings, and coordinate gas lines so your fire pit sits safe and level for years. We handle wood and gas pits, stone and masonry surrounds, and seating walls that let people sit close to the warmth without scorching themselves.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Marcos property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and fire pits & features that holds up to Hays 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. Our crew is familiar with limestone ledges, thin topsoil, and proximity to water features. We excavate to solid ground, set proper drainage, and place the pit away from trees and structures. Spring-fed yards need attention to runoff, but it's manageable on nearly every lot in San Marcos neighborhoods.
Cost depends on pit type, surround materials, seating walls, and gas-line work. A simple wood pit with a stone ring costs far less than a built-in gas feature with integrated seating. Call us at (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site estimate-we usually schedule within 48 hours.
We coordinate gas-line placement and safe connections as part of the job. Corral Bros is licensed and insured for the full scope. If your property needs a new gas service or main-line work, we bring in the gas utility; we handle everything on our end.
Stone and brick hold up well in San Marcos moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. Limestone native to the area is both practical and beautiful. We also use mortared stone walls and cap designs that shed water and won't crumble over winters.
Code requires 10 to 15 feet from structures, depending on the pit type. Clear of low branches and protected from wind-driven sparks. Our crew knows San Marcos codes and inspections, and we'll verify placement before we build.
Yes. We work on university-town rentals, owner-occupied homes, and commercial properties throughout San Marcos and Hays County. Same quality on rentals as on primary homes-built to last through tenant turnover.
