- How to make it: Dig out a circular area roughly six to eight feet in diameter and about six inches deep. Lay down heavy-duty landscape fabric to prevent weed growth, edge the perimeter with steel landscape edging or tumbled stone pavers, and fill the basin with washed pea gravel or decomposed granite. Place a portable steel fire pit directly in the center.
- Tips and variations: Surround the pit with built-in turf-top benches or oversized outdoor poufs. The crunch of gravel underfoot adds an organic sensory element that defines the fire pit area without building permanent walls.
