How to Build a Fire Pit With Landscape Wall Stones

You will need the following materials:

- Landscape wall stones

- Shovel

- Wheelbarrow

- Tamp (a large, flat object that you can use to pack down the soil)

- Level

- String

- Sand

- Fire pit grate

Step 2: Choose a Location

The location of your fire pit is important. You should choose a spot that is level, away from any trees or other structures, and has good drainage. The fire pit should also be located in a place where you will be able to enjoy it, such as near your patio or deck.

Step 3: Prepare the Ground

Once you have chosen a location, you will need to prepare the ground. This involves removing any vegetation or debris from the area and then leveling the ground.

Step 4: Build the Foundation

The foundation of your fire pit will be made of sand. To build the foundation, simply spread a 2-inch layer of sand over the entire area of the fire pit.

Step 5: Lay the Wall Stones

Now you are ready to start laying the wall stones. Begin by placing the first course of stones around the perimeter of the fire pit. Make sure that the stones are level and that they fit snugly together.

Step 6: Continue Building the Wall

Continue to build the wall of the fire pit by stacking the stones on top of each other. As you build the wall, make sure to stagger the joints so that the weight of the stones is evenly distributed.

Step 7: Install the Fire Pit Grate

Once the wall of the fire pit is complete, you need to install the fire pit grate. The grate should be placed at the bottom of the fire pit, directly on top of the sand foundation.

Step 8: Light Your Fire

Now you're ready to light your fire! Simply add some wood to the grate and light it on fire. Enjoy your new fire pit!
