Outdoor Kitchens, Kivas,
Fireplaces, Fire Pits
A source of warmth and location to cook are motivations for adding outdoor
kitchens, kivas, and fire pits to one’s landscaping. Others choose to use portable
grills and other means to add such function to their property. Those who love to
cook and entertain outdoors will want to consider these features.
Fire pits and kivas can create a great gathering space for family and friends.
Talk to Rising Sun Landscaping & Maintenance, to discuss how these features can
add enjoyment to your project and all the options available.
Outdoor Kitchens
Kitchens often become a center of activity inside a house. Having an outdoor kitchen
does the same thing -- it draws everyone to participate in discussion and meal
preparation in another location. Outdoor Kitchens are also a first alternative to a
portable grill. These permanent structures usually hold a higher-end grilling and at
times refrigerators, sinks with hot and cold running water, drawers, and cabinets.
Some outdoor kitchens are protected by shade structures. It’s your choice how
extravagant yours will become.
Kivas & Fireplaces
Fireplaces add a gathering space and area to warm family and guests. We refer to
Kivas here as traditional southwest fireplace that add aesthetics and local custom to
landscape. They often create gathering spaces with built in benches, or bancos.
Portable clay pot kivas are an alternative to built-in kivas and might fit into smaller
landscaping projects.
Fire Pits
Fire pits are open fireplaces that may be recessed into the ground or above ground.
They create great gathering and entertaining spaces in a landscape, and are often
accompanied by benches, or bancos. Fire pits usually have blocks or stones selected
especially to provide safety under high temperatures.
Fire pits can be empty for burning wood. They can also be fired by natural gas
where they typically have artificial wood logs or a bed of small rocks or glass
fragments that heat up and provide a more uniform warming to those gathering
around.
