6. Fire Pit with Gravel or Pebble Surround
A low-maintenance option is to place your fire pit on a bed of gravel or pebbles. This design is not only visually appealing but also practical, as it improves drainage and reduces maintenance. Use contrasting colors, such as dark gray gravel with a lighter fire pit, to create visual interest.
Surround the gravel area with a variety of seating options, including chairs, benches, or even tree stumps for a natural touch. Add planters or small shrubs around the perimeter to soften the edges and create a sense of enclosure.
