As the cooler season casts it’s quiet over Western Australia, the outdoors needn’t retreat into dormancy. At Tim Davies Landscaping, winter marks the beginning of something else—an invitation to reimagine your space through expert landscape design, creating warm, inviting zones that elevate how you experience the outdoors.
With over 40 years of experience in landscaping Perth gardens, we see fire pits and places not just as a source of heat but as a sculptural and social centrepiece. Whether you’re working with an inner-city courtyard or a sprawling backyard, our fire pit installations redefine the idea of winter living—blending form, function, and atmosphere.
From curated material selections to thoughtful planting and spatial design, each of our fire pit projects is a showcase of how great landscape design transforms outdoor spaces that defines how we live outdoors through the seasons.
Here are a few of our favourite fire pit installations:
Fire Pits as the Heart of Contemporary Outdoor Retreats
In this modernist retreat, the fire pit emerges not as a seasonal accessory but as an elemental centrepiece—both sculptural and functional. A low-profile corten-steel bowl rests atop a monolithic concrete plinth, anchoring the space with grounded strength. Surrounding it, lush gardens create a sense of enclosure and softness.
Key Features:
- Minimalist fire pit framed in concrete with corten-steel finish
- Embedded into a stepped garden layout for integrated views and flow
- Planting enveloping the fire zone for seasonal protection
- Balanced blend of architectural and organic elements
The Sunken Sanctuary: Fire Pits as Modern Conversation Starters
In this sunken courtyard, the firepit becomes a catalyst for connection. A rust-toned bowl—unassuming in scale but rich in warmth—sits in a gravel-lined recess, echoing serenity and simplicity. Wrapped by built-in concrete seating softened with monochrome cushions, the space is both grounded and generous.
A spiral staircase arcs above, offering vertical drama and an interplay of shadows. The planting, dense and sculptural, introduces privacy and calm while softening the structural edge.
Key Features:
- Sunken fire zone with minimalist corten bowl
- Integral concrete seating with monochrome styling
- Layered planting for privacy, softness, and shade
The Alfresco Oasis: Fire Pits as Focal Points for Lifestyle
In this carefully layered backyard, the fire pit becomes the gravitational centre—drawing people in while enhancing circulation and spatial flow. Positioned within a sunken zone edged in crisp brick and smooth concrete, it creates a natural pivot between the lounging, dining, and relaxation areas.
From the timber dining table under a modern pergola to manicured borders and velvet-green lawn, every element supports fluid movement and warm gathering. Here, the fire pit is not just about heat—it’s a lifestyle.
Key Features:
- Central fire pit recessed into a cozy courtyard zone
- Textural contrast between concrete and red brickwork
- Outdoor dining under adjustable louvred pergola
- Structured planting and fencing providing privacy
- Layered layout that invites both solitude and connection
Outdoor Statement: Where Architecture Meets Ambience
In this sophisticated setting, the fireplace becomes a crafted centrepiece, framed by symmetrical timber storage niches and arched detailing that echo traditional European garden rooms. Wrought iron sconces and a timber pergola create a play of light and shadow that evolves through the day.
The space invites seamless transition between lounging and dining, framed by oversized planters, soft foliage, and layered textures. This is a fire feature that doesn’t shout—but speaks clearly of timeless design and thoughtful living.
Key Features:
- Built-in arched fireplace with symmetrical wood storage
- Warm vertical timber detailing against smooth render
- Overhead pergola creating dynamic shade patterns
- Sculptural greenery inspired by Mediterranean courtyards
Modern Escape: Where Geometry Meets Garden Calm
This light-filled escape balances crisp white geometry with moments of softness and colour. A linear fireplace surrounded by monochrome tiling becomes an artistic focal point, while structured planting and ornamental bursts of colour add movement and life.
A pergola overhead echoes the geometry below, casting shadows that animate the space throughout the day. Paired with inviting seating and an outdoor prep zone, this space blends garden calm with everyday utility.
Key Features:
- Built-in fireplace with patterned tile surround
- White and timber palette with organic planting accents
- Defined space through low walls and overhead structure
- Practical bench seating and preparation area
- Seasonal colour from integrated planting design
