Rare Landscapes designs custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces in Mound, MN for homeowners who want a permanent gathering space built into the landscape. We plan the fire feature, seating, surrounding hardscape, and lighting together so the finished area feels intentional and connected to the property. Founder Will Archuleta personally guides each project from design through construction, helping homeowners near Lake Minnetonka choose the right fire feature for the way they use their yard.
Rare Landscapes designs fire features as part of the full outdoor environment, not as isolated add-ons.
Will Archuleta stays personally involved from planning through construction.
Fire features connect with patios, seating, planting areas, and circulation.
Homeowners can review scale and placement before construction.
Stone, masonry, and hardscape materials are selected to work together.
Material and construction decisions account for local weather and freeze-thaw conditions.
A wood-burning fire pit creates an open gathering area where seating can wrap around the flame. We design the fire pit with the patio, circulation space, and seating so the entire area works as one outdoor living zone.
Gas fire pits and fire tables create a controlled flame and work well in structured lounge areas. We plan the fire feature around seating, patio dimensions, and nearby outdoor kitchens or entertaining spaces.
An outdoor fireplace creates a strong focal point and typically organizes seating toward one side of the patio. Rare Landscapes can integrate the fireplace with stonework, hardscape, and surrounding outdoor living features for a cohesive design.
Built-in seat walls can define the gathering area while adding permanent seating. Stone or masonry seating can also connect visually with retaining walls, steps, and patio materials elsewhere on the property.
Fire features work best when the surrounding space is planned around them. Rare Landscapes can connect a fire pit or outdoor fireplace with a patio, lounge area, or complete outdoor living design.
Path, step, and accent lighting can improve circulation around the fire area without competing with the flame. Fire features can also be coordinated with pergolas and pavilions, depending on the property, structure, and applicable requirements.
