Fire Pits
Fire Pits are an area that will contain a burning fire, and is aesthetically pleasing.

Fire pits are usually positioned in or nearby a gathering place in a yard, i.e., at the edge or sometimes in the middle of a patio.

Although it should be noted that the height of the wall is a consideration in what to use as a footing, shorter walls might only need 3-4” of stone at it’s base where a taller wall might need a concrete footing.
