Outdoor Fire Pits in Wilmington, NC
From Leland, Wilmington is a 10-to-15-minute drive north via US-17 across the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, or through the MLK Jr. Parkway corridor depending on which part of the city the job is in.
A built-in fire pit is a hardscape project, not a backyard accessory, and it should be built like one. We design and install stone and masonry fire pits as part of a larger patio project or as a standalone installation. Sizing, fuel type, and surround materials are chosen to complement the existing patio and landscape. All work is scoped and priced upfront — same as any other hardscape job we take.
About Wilmington
Wilmington sits just across the Cape Fear River from Leland, and that short bridge crossing puts Salty Dog within easy reach of a city with two very different faces: the older residential streets of Forest Hills and Sunset Park, and the fast-growing HOA and apartment corridors along Porters Neck Road and the College Road spine. Market Street and Carolina Beach Road each carry their own mix of commercial and residential properties, and the flat coastal terrain means drainage and turf problems here look a lot like they do in Brunswick County -- compacted soils, subdivisions where builder-grade sod never got proper follow-up, and stormwater ponds required in nearly every development built in the last 30 years. Salty Dog's full service range runs across county lines without a gap.

Everything we do in Wilmington →Common questions
Do you service Wilmington even though you're based in Leland?
Yes. Wilmington is a primary service area -- the drive across the Cape Fear is short, and the team works regularly in New Hanover County on both residential and commercial accounts.
Can you build a fire pit into a patio I already have?
For Wilmington customers: yes. We work with what is already on the ground, matching materials and layout so the pit reads as part of the patio instead of an add-on. If the existing surface will not carry it, we tell you that up front and lay out what the job would involve instead of building over a problem.
