A fire feature is what turns a backyard into a place people gather. It stretches your outdoor season into spring and fall and gives every patio a natural focal point. But a fire pit or fireplace is a build that involves heat, gas lines, and real weight, so it has to be done right. A feature dropped on a weak base or wired without care is a safety risk, not a centrepiece.
McCoy builds fire pits and outdoor fireplaces that are safe, solid, and built into the whole design. We plan the fire feature with the patio, seating, and grade around it, then build it on proper footings with the right materials. Wood-burning or gas, we handle the full scope from base to finish.
No two McCoy fire features are identical. Here are the builds we do most often across Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and Milton homes.
Classic stone fire pits for real flames and open-air evenings.
Clean, instant fire with no smoke, wood, or cleanup.
Full stone fireplaces that anchor a patio and add height.
Curved seating walls wrapped around the fire feature.
Low fire features set into stone tables and patio surfaces.
Fire features tied into pergolas and outdoor living structures.
Gas fire feature, curved stone seating wall, and Techo-Bloc paver surround, built in a single scope.
Curved seating walls with integrated low-voltage lighting
Gas lines run and connected by qualified trades
Custom stone caps, borders, and matching pillars
Engineered base and drainage that keep the feature level

Most fire feature builds take a few days to 2 weeks on-site once we start. Peak season books 6 to 12 weeks ahead, call early.
Every fire feature is scoped to size, fuel type, seating, and stone selection. A simple wood fire pit and a full gas fireplace with seating walls sit at very different price points. We build the written estimate after the on-site visit, so the number you see is the number you pay. No surprises, no escalations.
It depends on the size, the fuel type, and whether you add seating walls. A simple wood fire pit is far less than a full stone fireplace with a gas line and seating. We give you a written estimate after the on-site visit, not a guess over the phone.
Wood gives you real flames and a classic feel, but it needs wood and cleanup. Gas gives you instant fire with no smoke and no mess, but it needs a gas line. We walk you through both during the design phase based on how you want to use it.
