If you are a resident in the Broward County, Fl area, you are no stranger to the beautiful weather we experience here year round. Temperatures here don’t reach near what they do up north, but evenings can be breezy and brisk. A perfect way to enjoy those cooler evenings with family and friends is around your own fire pit, and making your own is easy! This is a great way to enjoy a pleasant evening outdoors roasting s’mores and catching up. Lawn Care and Pest Control has these tips to build your own fire pit at an affordable price!

1. Section off the area where you want the fire pit to be, and dig down in that area to a depth of about 6 inches. Place gravel and rubble within the hole you’ve just dug.
2. Begin laying your bricks around the hole. Try to make sure that your base layer is level to avoid the bricks falling down into the fire or on you. This is where selecting level ground is important.
3. Once that is complete, place two more brick layers on top of your base and stager them like a brick house.
4. The last step is the best. Enjoy it! It’s time to encircle the pit with lawn chairs and invite over some friends for snacks and stories. Have fun!
