Plan Your Outdoor Projects
Step-by-step guides + curated kits for the most popular fire and water features.

Most outdoor projects fail not because they're hard, but because the planning is hard.
The pump doesn't match the basin.
The fire pit is the wrong size for the patio.
The fountain runs dry by mid-summer because nobody thought about evaporation.
We've broken down the seven projects we get the most questions about — from a weekend pondless waterfall to a full custom outdoor fireplace — into clear, step-by-step plans.
Each guide tells you what to expect, how to size everything, what to buy, and how it all fits together.
Pick the project that fits your yard.
