Fire Pit Pavers & Stepping Stones

For a 3-foot diameter fire pit ring, you typically need between 12 and 20 pavers depending on their size and the desired ring configuration. Standard retaining wall blocks or larger concrete pavers are commonly used to form the ring. Our staff can help calculate exact quantities based on your chosen material and layout.

Both work well, but clay brick generally handles high heat and thermal cycling better than standard concrete pavers due to its fired composition. Concrete pavers are more affordable and offer a wider range of shapes and colors. For areas directly surrounding a fire pit, clay brick or heat-rated fire brick is recommended for longevity.

Yes — reclaimed street pavers and granite cobbles are excellent for fire pit surrounds. Their dense composition withstands heat well, and their natural weathered appearance adds character to outdoor living spaces. The Brickyard carries the largest stock of reclaimed street pavers and granite cobbles in the Milwaukee area.

Standard concrete, clay, or porcelain stepping stones work well for pathways leading to fire pits. For a cohesive design, choose stepping stones that complement your fire pit surround material. Permeable paver options are also available for areas where drainage is a concern. Our staff can assist with material matching and layout planning.

Permeable pavers are a great choice for the surrounding patio or pathway area near a fire pit, as they allow water to drain through and reduce runoff. They are not recommended as the inner fire ring material. The Brickyard offers permeable paver options from leading manufacturers, suitable for eco-conscious residential and commercial landscaping projects.
