Ladue evenings cool off quickly once September arrives, and a fire a few steps from your back door is the best answer. Solid Ground brings firepit and fireplace installation in Ladue, MO, to homes throughout the area, matching each feature to your home’s brick, stone, and rooflines. We factor in safety, drainage, and Missouri’s freeze-thaw cycles, so our work holds up just as well in year ten as it did on the first night you lit a fire.
Our firepit and fireplace installation in Ladue, MO, begins with a simple question: how does your household spend its evenings? A low, casual ring of seating feels different from a grand hearth anchoring a dining area. We work out the layout, clearances, and sightlines from your kitchen window before we settle on materials or fuel. The result is a patio or deck that becomes a true gathering hub and increases your property’s lasting value.
Our outdoor fireplaces create a commanding focal point while integrating seamlessly with custom backyard fire features. We raise tall chimneys and wide mantels that define the space and buffer the evening wind. Add a TV niche or firewood cubby, and your patio takes on the warmth of a second living room.
Gas fire pits ignite with a switch and shut down just as quickly. We spec stainless steel burners that hold up against humid summers and hard winters alike. For homeowners who love the crackle of a real campfire, a smokeless fire pit keeps the cozy atmosphere without pushing harsh smoke toward guests or nearby neighbors.
Our stone fireplaces draw on natural and cultured stone selected to complement your home's exterior. Each one goes down on a solid, well-drained base, so shifting clay soil and hard frost can't knock it out of level. That attention to the foundation is why our crew's fire pit and fireplace installations stay solid for the long haul.

Absolutely. Solid Ground sets up a free, no-obligation walkthrough at your convenience. We’ll review your deck or patio, discuss fire feature options, and give you a clear plan with no pressure. Call us to lock in a time.
Solid Ground builds each price around the feature’s scale, the stone and fuel type you select, and the complexity of the installation. No two yards are the same, so we put together a tailored quote for yours. Reach out to schedule a personal consultation.
We go over every line item with you before the first tool comes out. If your layout calls for a gas line, we’ll tell you upfront that a licensed plumber handles it under a separate permit. Our goal is an all-inclusive quote on the core scope with no surprises at the end. Call our office for a full breakdown.
