The rotation of flowers depends on the specific types chosen and the seasons they flourish in. Generally, we recommend changing the flowers at least twice a year to maintain a vibrant display, transitioning from spring/summer varieties to fall/winter blooms.

We were in the market for a nice fire pit and planned on just doing a traditional wood burning fit pit. Outdoor Living Experts (OLE) happen to come with an excellent proposal for investing into a gas fire pit and did an excellent job explaining the added benefits of the investment. We chose to move forward based off their recommendations and are so happy we did! Our family and friends love visiting in the cooler months of the year to warm up by the clean burning fire pit, that we can light up without any hassle. Best regards - David L.
