Backyard Camping

The joy of the campfire comes home with the rise of the firepit

In short order, the firepit has become table stakes when it comes to choosing yard elements. Why is this? Yardzen’s Kendra Poppy, a former Sunset Magazine editor, believes “the backyard experience has become the new camping trip. We long to connect to nature, so just like a staycation, the ‘yardcation’ is a more accessible way for people to connect and relish in the joys of outdoor living—with a cozy bed waiting inside.”

In 2019, more than 50% of the 1,500 designs created by Yardzen included a firepit at the client’s request.
