Outdoor Fireplace, Water Features & Lighting in Kannapolis, NC
Your backyard should do more than just sit there. Kannapolis homeowners come to H2o-Matic Pool and Patio when they want a space that actually gets used. A fireplace that brings people together on cool evenings. A water feature that makes the yard feel like a retreat. Landscape lighting that keeps the patio going after dark. We design and build all three, and we manage the entire process from site visit through installation so nothing falls through the cracks.

Homeowners across Cornelius and Lake Norman trust H2O-Matic to build engineered retaining walls that look great and last for years. We prioritize proper drainage, clear communication, and results that fit your outdoor living.
Designs Built Around Your Specific Yard
No two properties in Kannapolis are the same. Our process starts with an on-site review of your layout, grades, access points, and how you plan to use the space. From there, we recommend the right mix of fire features, water elements, and lighting that fits your home's style and your family's routine.
Straightforward Pricing and Clear Communication
You receive a detailed written proposal with transparent pricing, a defined scope, and a realistic timeline before any work begins. Our team stays responsive throughout the build so you are never left guessing about what comes next.
Installation Built to Last Through NC Seasons
Kannapolis weather puts outdoor installations through real stress across the year. We select materials, drainage approaches, and installation methods that hold up to summer heat, wet winters, and everything in between. The result stays reliable and visually sharp year-round.
Outdoor Fireplaces and Fire Pits in Kannapolis, NC
A well-built outdoor fireplace or fire pit transforms how you use your backyard. It creates a natural gathering point, extends the time you can comfortably spend outside, and adds a defining visual element to your patio or pool deck. Whether you prefer a traditional masonry fireplace, a built-in fire pit for open seating, a sleek linear gas burner, or a decorative fire bowl as an accent piece, we design and install fire features in natural gas, propane, and wood-burning configurations that match your vision and meet all local safety clearance requirements. Every installation includes proper base prep, appropriate setback planning, and clean fuel line routing where applicable, and we help you think through seating orientation and sightlines so the feature works as a true focal point.

One Team for Fire, Water, and Lighting in Kannapolis
One of the biggest advantages of working with H2o-Matic Pool and Patio is that you get a single team managing the full scope of your fire, water, and lighting project. That matters because these three elements are not independent. The placement of a fireplace affects where lighting fixtures get positioned. Water feature drainage has to work around electrical conduit runs. Seating layout influences where fire bowls or fire pits make the most sense.
When one contractor handles all three, the design is coordinated from the start, the utility routing stays clean, and the finished result looks like everything belongs together, because it was planned that way.
Benefits of bundling fire, water, and lighting into one project:
- Coordinated placement and layout from day one
- Shared site prep and base work reduces total cost
- Gas, plumbing, and electrical routes are planned together
- One point of contact from design through final walkthrough
- A cohesive finished look that feels intentional throughout
If budget or timeline require phasing, we can plan the project in stages while accounting for future additions from the start.

FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most from Kannapolis homeowners.
Outdoor fireplace pricing in Kannapolis varies based on size, material choice, fuel type, and site conditions. A prefabricated unit installed on an existing patio will cost less than a full custom masonry fireplace with a gas line, mantel, and extended hardscape surround. Site access, base prep requirements, and any existing utility work can also affect the total. The most accurate way to get pricing is a site consultation where we can assess your specific layout and scope out the work correctly.
A pondless waterfall is a recirculating water feature where the reservoir is buried underground and covered with rock rather than sitting as an open pond at the base. The water flows down a natural-looking rock face and disappears into the gravel bed, where a submersible pump returns it to the top. This design is popular in Kannapolis because it provides the look and sound of a waterfall with far less maintenance and no standing open water, making it safer for households with young children or pets.
We install a range of fire features depending on your preferences and yard layout. Options include traditional wood-burning fireplaces built from natural stone or brick, gas fireplaces with clean-line finishes and linear or traditional burner styles, fire pits in round or square configurations, and fire bowls or urns for accent placement. We help you select the right fuel type and design based on your usage goals, aesthetic preferences, and whether you have existing gas service to the area.
Yes, and in most cases it is more efficient to do so. When fire, water, and lighting are designed and installed together, placement decisions, utility routing, and base prep can be coordinated in a single site plan. This reduces rework, keeps the aesthetic cohesive, and typically lowers the combined cost compared to three separate projects. We can also phase the work if needed while still accounting for future additions from the start.
Yes. We design and install complete low-voltage LED landscape lighting systems throughout Kannapolis and the surrounding Cabarrus County area.
