Years ago, I dug out an area of the yard for a trampoline. Once the trampoline was in place, I build brickwork around it, so the ground would not collapse. After the trampoline was given away, we had been using the area as a fire pit. I had spread lava rocks as the base.

In 2018, I decided to make it much better area and added brick pavers as the base. However, that required some additional footer and mortared bricks as well. The hardest part was all of the angle cuts required for the pavers. I still have a few more to do, but we’ve used the area quite a bit last year even though it wasn’t complete. We love the fire pit!
