A firepit is the reason people actually use the back yard

Looking for outdoor firepits & seating areas in Medway, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about twenty minutes away.

Outdoor firepits and seating areas are the difference between a patio you look at and a patio you live on. A well-built firepit adds an evening to every day from April through November and turns a back yard into the place friends want to be. Medway homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every outdoor firepits & seating areas job in town.

We build the whole space, not just the ring. That means a compacted base and patio surface, then a firepit built from fire-rated block or natural stone with a steel insert. Finally, we add seating walls or a built-in bench at the right height and distance. Wood-burning or gas, round or square, matched to your patio and your property, with clearances that keep it safe.

Why Medway, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Outdoor Firepits & Seating Areas

Medway is a family-oriented town on the Charles River, north of Franklin. Its neighborhoods range from the historic homes of Medway Village along Village Street to ranch and colonial subdivisions off Route 109, Holliston Street and Winthrop Street. Lots here tend to be flatter and more open than in the ledge-heavy towns to the south, and many homeowners have real yards to work with. That makes Medway a great place for patios, lawns and plantings done right the first time.

The Charles River and Chicken Brook shape the ground in Medway. Soil near the river is sandy and drains fast, while the inland neighborhoods often sit on compacted till or old farmland with a hard layer under the topsoil. Both create lawn and drainage problems that look identical on the surface and need completely different fixes. That is why we check the soil and watch how water moves across the property before we recommend anything.

How Outdoor Firepits & Seating Areas works in Medway, MA

We keep the process simple and predictable so you always know what is happening and what comes next. Here is how a outdoor firepits & seating areas job runs in Medway, MA with Ten Four, from the first call to the final walkthrough. The owner is also reachable at every step.

01

Choose the spot

We look at the view, the wind, the distance from the house and the trees, and place the firepit where you will actually use it.

02

Build the base

A firepit is a hardscape structure; it gets the same compacted stone base as a patio so it never sinks or tilts.

03

Build the fire feature

Fire-rated block or natural stone, a steel insert or gas burner, and a cap that is comfortable to set a drink on.

04

Add the seating

Seating walls or benches at the right height and distance, capped and finished to match the patio.

What drives the price

Honest answer: we price outdoor firepits & seating areas in Medway, MA by the job rather than off a rate card. Why? Because no two properties are the same. Generally, anyone who quotes a firm price over the phone without seeing the site is guessing. That guess usually turns into a change order later. So here are a few of the things that move the price up or down:

Wood-burning or gas, and the burner or insert chosen

Size of the firepit and the seating walls

Patio square footage around the feature

Gas line, electrical and lighting if included

When to schedule Outdoor Firepits & Seating Areas in Medway, MA

We build fire features spring through early winter along with patios and walls, and a firepit finished in October sees use through the holidays. Many customers add a firepit to an existing patio in a few days; new patio and firepit projects book best when planned a season ahead.

Signs it’s time to call

You have a patio nobody uses after dinner
A portable firepit is scorching the lawn
You want to use the yard in April and October, not just July
You are planning a patio and want it to have a reason to exist

Outdoor Firepits & Seating Areas questions from Medway, MA customers

How much do outdoor firepits & seating areas cost in Medway, MA?

It depends on the size of the property, site access and the materials involved, as well as the season. Estimates for outdoor firepits & seating areas in Medway, MA are free and in writing. Seth also walks the property with you first, so the number reflects the real job, not a guess.

Wood-burning or gas?

Wood gives the real crackle and smell and costs less to build. Gas lights instantly, produces no smoke and needs a gas line. We build both and will walk you through the trade-offs.

How far from the house should a firepit be?

Generally at least ten feet from any structure, and clear of overhanging branches. We follow local requirements and place it where it is safe and usable.

Can you add a firepit to my existing patio?

Yes, if the base under the patio is sound. If not, we rebuild that section so the fire feature does not sink.

More Outdoor Firepits & Seating Areas questions, answered

What size should the seating area be?

Large enough for the group you actually host. A ten to twelve foot circle seats six to eight people comfortably around a standard firepit.

Do you build seating walls or just the pit?

Both. Seating walls, built-in benches and matching capstones are part of most firepit projects.

Is a permit required?

Requirements vary by town, especially for gas. We check and handle whatever the town requires.

Medway history and geography

History

Medway was first settled in 1657 and was officially incorporated in 1713. At that time, Medway began as a farming community of two hundred thirty-three. It was not long before the water power of the Charles River and Chicken Brook stimulated the formation of cotton and paper mills, straw and boot factories, and a variety of cottage industries. Medway demonstrates the central importance of the Charles River and the thriving town that grew alongside it. Today, the one-room schoolhouses are gone and the country stores have moved to the mall, but the open town meetings continue.

After nearby Medfield was established as a town in 1651, an increasing number of newcomers settled on the land west of the Charles River. By 1712, this settlement west of the Charles had grown large enough to petition the Massachusetts General Court for the creation of a separate new town. That petition was granted, and the town of Medway incorporated on October 25, 1713. At its founding by Henry Garnsey, and for 170 years afterward, the town of Medway included the land that is now Millis. Eventually, the eastern section of the town, known as East Medway, separated in 1885 to form the town of Millis, and Medway assumed the shape it has today.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 11.5 square miles (30 km²), of which 11.4 square miles (30 km²) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km²) (0.78%) is water. Medway is the geographical center between Boston, Worcester, and Providence, which is purported by some to explain the origin of the name. However, like many New England cities and towns, it most likely derived its name from an English location, in this case, the region of Medway, England, or the River Medway. Likely both its geographical location and a nod to old England compelled the choice of town name.

Transportation

Both Route 109 and Route 126 pass through the town and serve as some of the main roads in the town. Interstate 495 shortly passes through the southwest corner of the town, but does not provide any exits. The closest exits are in nearby Bellingham and Milford.

The closest MBTA Commuter Rail service is at Forge Park/495, Franklin, and Norfolk stations on the Franklin/Foxboro Line. Until 1966, the Millis Branch served stations at Medway and West Medway.
