Fire Features & Outdoor Fireplaces in the Okanagan
From a simple fire pit to a full masonry fireplace, a fire feature extends the season and gives your outdoor kitchen and patio a natural gathering point after the sun goes down.

Custom outdoor kitchens generally range from $15,000 to $100,000+, depending on their size, cabinetry, countertops, masonry, appliances and utility connections.
This calculator provides an early budget range only and is not a formal quote. Final pricing depends on site access, existing conditions, excavation, grading, drainage, material selections, engineering, permits, electrical and plumbing requirements, and the final approved design. Pricing is shown in Canadian dollars and excludes GST unless otherwise stated. A site consultation is required to provide an accurate proposal.
Beyond the Grill
Where an outdoor kitchen is built around cooking, a fire feature is built around gathering. We design fire pits and outdoor fireplaces as an extension of the kitchen and patio, not an afterthought — positioned for sightlines, wind direction, and seating flow so the whole space works together instead of competing for the same footprint.
Fire Features & Outdoor Fireplaces: Materials & Process
We build both gas and wood-burning options, from a simple stone-clad fire pit to a full masonry fireplace with a raised hearth and mantel. Construction follows the same principles as our hardscape and outdoor kitchen work: engineered footings, proper clearances from structures and combustible materials (including FireSmart-conscious placement on forest-edge properties), and a stone or masonry finish that matches the rest of your outdoor kitchen and patio.
Built on Trust, Honesty, and Referrals
We are proud that so much of our business comes from referrals. To us, that says everything. Our reputation has been built on trust, honesty, reliability, and the relationships we create with our clients long after the project is complete.

Trusted By Okanagan Homeowners
“Kalagan did an outstanding job on our major landscaping project that included two sets of stone steps, a large water feature, paving stone patio, several plant beds, irrigation system and lighting effects. Taylor brought a wealth of knowledge and ideas to the design process and was easy to work with. Communication was strong throughout the project and we heartily recommend Kalagan for your landscaping project.”
“Kalagan Outdoor Design completely gutted our backyard, then installed irrigation, new lawn, trees, shrubs, rock bordered planting areas and a new stone patio. We are absolutely delighted with the result. It far exceeded our expectations which were quite ambitious from the start. The entire team was a pleasure to work with — professional, courteous, creative and hard working.”
Common Questions About Fire Features & Outdoor Fireplaces
How do you decide where to place a fire feature relative to the kitchen?
We design fire pits and fireplaces as an extension of the kitchen and patio, positioned for sightlines, wind direction, and seating flow so the whole space works together instead of the fire competing with the kitchen for the same footprint.
Gas or wood-burning — which is right for my fire feature?
Both are common; gas offers instant on/off convenience while wood-burning gives a traditional fire experience. We will talk through the tradeoffs for your specific space and how you plan to use it.
What’s the difference between a fire pit and an outdoor fireplace?
A fire pit is typically a lower, open gathering point; an outdoor fireplace is a full masonry structure with a raised hearth and mantel, more like an outdoor room’s focal wall.
Can a fire feature be added to an existing patio?
Yes — fire pits and fireplaces are commonly added to an existing patio or outdoor living area, coordinated with your current layout and materials.
