Custom gas and wood-burning fire features built for desert wind, fire restrictions, and 300+ evenings of perfect outdoor weather
Get Your Free Fire Pit EstimateThe High Desert has 300+ evenings a year where the temperature drops to perfect outdoor weather.
A fire pit or outdoor fireplace turns your backyard into a year-round living space, pair it with a custom playscape or putting green and the whole family stays outside. We build custom fire features in concrete, stone, and steel, designed for desert wind and San Bernardino County fire codes.
Monarch Landscape & Design has built fire pits and outdoor fireplaces across all seven High Desert cities since 2009. Based in Hesperia and serving Victorville, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Phelan, Barstow, and Oak Hills. Gas fire pits, fire tables, full outdoor fireplaces, and BBQ islands. We handle the gas line, the masonry, and the permits. Every project starts with a free on-site visit. We also build fire features for commercial properties and outdoor hospitality spaces.
Every component matters. Here’s what we build into every fire feature.
Desert evenings cool down fast. A fire pit extends your outdoor season to 12 months.
Five fire feature styles we build across the High Desert, each designed for desert wind and fire codes.
Built-in fire pits with natural gas or propane. Concrete block core with fire brick liner, non-negotiable for durability and safety. Standard concrete block spalls and cracks from direct flame. H-burner or ring burner rated 40,000-65,000 BTU for residential sizes, with 18-inch minimum interior diameter. Wind-rated tempered glass guards on every build. Sizes from 36-inch round to 8-foot linear. Custom gas fire pit: $2,500 base for a round block fire pit, with the gas line, accessories, and permit priced separately.

Wind guard sized 5 inches larger than the burner opening on all sides, required for High Desert wind. Lower profile than traditional fire pits. Works on covered patios with 8 ft minimum overhead clearance. Fire tables: $1,500-$4,000 installed.
Get a Fire Table Estimate →Full masonry fireplace with CMU block core, fire brick lining, and Class A stainless steel flue liner. Gas or wood-burning. 10 ft minimum clearance from combustible structures. The MDAQMD (Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District) restricts wood burning during winter inversions, gas inserts keep you legal year-round. Anchors an outdoor living room.

Pool-side accent that doubles as a fire feature, GFCI protection required on all electrical near water. Can integrate with Baja shelf designs for pools. Copper bowls develop a natural desert patina; concrete bowls hold up to UV without fading.
Get a Fire Bowl Estimate →Complete outdoor kitchen build with built-in grill, side burner, storage, and granite or tile countertops on a concrete block frame. Gas stub from the house requires a C-36 licensed plumber for all gas line work, we handle the subcontract and pull the permit. Pair with a fire pit or fireplace for a full outdoor living space. Gas operates at $1-$3 per hour on natural gas, far cheaper than you’d expect for year-round outdoor cooking.

Based in Hesperia. Building fire features across the entire High Desert with the same crew and the same quality.
Spring Valley Lake backyards, Eagle Ranch entertaining areas. Gas fire pits built for HOA guidelines and lakeside wind conditions. Cajon Series sandy soil makes gas line trenching fast, we can trench, pipe, and backfill in the same day. Victorville averages 40-50 days over 100F, which means summer evenings in the 70s are perfect fire pit weather. SVL architectural committee pre-approval required, we know their process. 300+ clear evenings a year to use it.
Our hometown. Fire pits for new construction and renovation projects across all Hesperia neighborhoods. Hesperia Series sandy loam is good for gas line trenching, but granite bedrock in Summit Valley requires different routing. Most fire pits sit on a concrete or paver pad, we pour the pad and build the fire feature as one project. Wind guards are standard on every build, Cajon Pass gusts hit 40-80 mph through southern Hesperia. Silverwood’s 9,000-acre new construction community means thousands of blank backyards waiting for outdoor living spaces.
Jess Ranch 55+ community, fire pits are the centerpiece of outdoor living for active adults. Sycamore Rocks estates on 2.5+ acre lots with rocky terrain are perfect for natural stone fire features built into the landscape. Helendale Series soil drains well but the argillic clay layer at depth can slow gas line trenching. Apple Valley averages 35-45 days over 100F, so evening fire pits get heavy use from October through April.
Adelanto Series clay soil at 8-16 inches means harder gas line trenching than sandy Victorville, budget extra for the argillic layer. SCLA and military families moving into 600+ new homes want outdoor living that works from day one. SB County fire permits apply to unincorporated areas around Adelanto. With 286 sunny days a year and cool desert evenings, a fire pit turns a bare slab patio into the room your family actually uses. Pair it with an Adelanto patio cover for shade by day and warmth by night.
Wind-rated design is critical in Phelan, Cajon Pass gusts hit 50-100 mph. Every fire pit we build here gets an 8-inch tempered glass wind guard, not the standard 6-inch. DG soil digs easily for gas lines. Unincorporated SB County permits apply. With 80-100 nights below 32F, Phelan homeowners get the most use out of a fire pit of any city we serve, you’ll light it from October through April and on many summer evenings too.
Barstow hits 70-80 days over 100F, but that means 300+ perfect fire pit evenings from October through April when the desert cools down. MCLB and Fort Irwin families want outdoor living spaces that work year-round. Cajon Series sand makes gas line trenching straightforward. At the lowest elevation in our service area (2,100 ft), Barstow gets the most UV exposure, so all stone veneer and concrete materials must be heat-rated for 170F+ pavement temperatures.

“Monarch built our complete backyard, patio, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen. Freddy designed the fire pit with a glass windscreen so it actually works when the wind kicks up. We use it almost every night from September through May.”
“Had a gas fire pit added to our existing patio. The crew trenched the gas line through solid caliche and had the whole project done in four days. Passed inspection first try. Great crew.”
