Types of Fire Features We Build
Propane fire pits — the most popular choice for Montreal backyards. Clean, convenient, and easy to control with the turn of a valve. No wood storage, no ash cleanup. We build propane fire pits in round, square, and rectangular formats using Techo-Bloc materials in any colour family.
Natural gas fire pits — ideal if your property already has a natural gas line. Permanent, always ready, no tank refills. We handle the gas line extension and connection as part of the project.
Wood-burning fire pits — for clients who want the authentic experience. Built with fire-rated materials, proper airflow design, and drainage to handle Quebec rain and snow. We design the surround to complement your patio or retaining wall materials.
Outdoor fireplaces — freestanding or wall-integrated fireplace structures, typically the centrepiece of a full backyard transformation. Stone or Techo-Bloc construction, with gas burner or wood-burning insert options.
How Much Does a Fire Feature Cost in Montreal?
Fire feature pricing depends on size, fuel type, and complexity of the surround:
A basic built-in propane fire pit with Techo-Bloc surround starts around $3,500–$7,000. A mid-size fire pit with custom seating wall and integrated lighting typically runs $8,000–$15,000. A full outdoor fireplace structure — freestanding or wall-integrated — ranges from $15,000–$40,000+ depending on materials and design. Every project includes a free on-site consultation and a detailed, transparent quote.
Fire Feature Safety — Why Installation Matters
An incorrectly installed fire feature is genuinely dangerous. Gas line connections, clearance distances from structures, drainage design, and material selection all affect long-term safety. We build every fire feature to Quebec municipal codes and manufacturer specifications. We are fully RBQ licensed and insured — ask to see our credentials before hiring any contractor for this type of work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a permit for a fire pit in Laval or Montreal? A: Requirements vary by municipality. Wood-burning fire pits may be subject to local burn regulations. Q: Can you add a fire pit to an existing patio? A: Yes. We regularly add fire features to existing hardscape — either by building a new surround that integrates with your existing materials, or by retrofitting a gas line to a pre-existing fire pit location. Q: Propane vs. natural gas — which should I choose? A: If you have a natural gas line at your property, natural gas is more convenient and economical long-term. If not, propane is the better choice — no trenching required, and a 100lb tank lasts a full season with typical use. Q: How long does installation take? A: A standalone fire pit installation typically takes 1 to 2 days. A fire feature integrated into a full patio or backyard project is completed as part of the overall timeline.
