Southern Pool Designs
Few features transform a backyard like a sunken firepit; cozy seating, firelight, and water all in one unforgettable space.
Sunken firepits are recessed into the deck; not just a pit, but an immersive gathering nook integrated with your poolscape.
But here’s the thing: water always goes down, and a sunken pit becomes the lowest point. Without smart drainage, rain ➝ puddles ➝ flooding.
That’s why elite builds include: 💧 Sump drains tied into your site plan 💧 French drains + gravel & pipe systems 💧 Pump-assisted drainage where needed 💧 Seating slopes for perfect runoff
Luxury means longevity: fire and water features require precision engineering, safe gas routing, waterproofing, and materials that hold up for years.
