Firepit; Rick Anderson style.

This is a firepit area I designed for a client, my thought process was simple here: What if Fred Flintstone was a Landscape Designer?

Thats how I came up with the stone seating for the circle, a ring of stones for the fireplace, and of course a stone bridge over the stream spilling into the pond. This was only a couple of weeks after completion and thats why everything still looks so pristine.

The seats are recycled from old barn foundation stone and I think they add a real sense of permanence here. A couple of great things about stone seats:

• They never need painted.
• No need to bring them in during the winter.
• Guaranteed not to rust.
• A heavy person cannot break them.
• Almost impossible to steal !!!
