Working with Mark has been great. He offers fast service, and you get the product that you want. I have used him now on multiple occasions and couldn’t be happier. ~

I highly recommend Arizona Backyard Custom for anyone looking to purchase a fire pit. Mark Chiappetta worked with my wife and designed a beautiful custom fire pit for us back in 2020 and once again in 2026 based on our move to a new property.

He is patient, creative and his workmanship is impeccable. The interesting thing is that the price is very competitive when compared to the products we saw at outdoor stores and on line.

Arizona Backyard is a top-tier company and I highly recommend anyone shopping for a fire-pit to reach out to Mark. ~

Mark was a pleasure to work with. He gave a very competitive estimate, great communication, showed up when he said and used high quality products. All of this while driving to Pinetop to install a gas fireplace that has magically transformed my living room. This is something I have wanted for years, but could never get the one local company to show up after giving me an outrageous quote. Thank you so very much Mark. You are a true professional! ~

Exceptional work. Once we gave him the green light, it was on. Nonstop backbreaking work until they were done. I would recommend these guys all day ~ Cody Childress

I have a one of Arizona Backyard Custom Fire Pits in my back yard. I love it!!! I wouldn’t want to go through an evening without it! ~ Gail

I rarely leave reviews but …… these guys deserve it. We purchased a home in Fountain Hills with 3 “gas features”, a decorative poolside fire feature, a built in BBQ and a gas interior fireplace. There were issues with all of these, and I needed someone with the skills and experience to check them all out and make sure they were in working order and safe. I came upon Arizona Backyard Custom totally by accident. Mark responded promptly to my inquiry, set an appointment, showed up on time inspected and tested the exterior fire feature and the interior fireplace, he inspected the BBQ and gave me solid advice based on expected repair costs and safety issues. It took less than 1 hr. and the service call fee was more than fair. Mark is also a really nice guy with a sense of humor. In short, this was the perfect company to call and I can’t recommend them more highly. Thanks Mark. ~ Charles

Most creative, and hard-working owner! ~ Paula

Last year, I decided that we needed a fire pit. I shopped. And shopped. Couldn’t find exactly what I wanted – and the process were crazy! I spoke with a contractor friend and he referred me to Mark at AZ Backyard Custom. I went to Mark’s place. found him to be a super nice guy. He is very creative, super talented and thinks outside the box. That’s a great combination in this business! I went from shopping prefab fire pits to customizing a fire table to fit my exact specifications! I worked with Mark on the size of the table, the exterior finishes, gas line location and an assortment of decorative extras. He even drove to Sedona to install it! I have attached photos for you. It is easy to clean and maintain. My wife and I have received tons of accolades about the table. We have referred Mark out often. So much so that now, I need a prefab barbeque island. I shopped. And I shopped. And once again, ended up with Mark for a custom designed and built barbeque island – for far less than the prefab islands I was looking at. It has been designed to my exact specifications – with a ton of input from Mark. It is going to be a showpiece! In short – if you are in the market for a custom-built backyard centerpiece item for a price that is generally equal to or less than the prefab items – contact Mark. You will be glad you did. ~ Paul

Lucky to have crossed paths with Mark…our Patio table turned out amazing! We replaced a broken granite top and updated the center with glass. We couldn’t be happier. Mark helped the process run smoothly. ~ Anita

Mark was great! Had my fireplace up and running in no time! Would definitely recommend! ~ CLL

We have a double-sided fireplace in our house. To say the least, it was not efficient and smoked a lot! We contacted Mark at Az Backyard Custom for an estimate on installing gas logs. We were so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism that we decided to go ahead with the project. It was done quickly and efficiently. We absolutely love the results! Thank you, AZ Backyard Custom! ~ Sheila
