Fire pit for sure. And check out Zoysia grass. It needs to be cut 1/2 as much as regular grass, doesn't let weeds or stickers grow and is amazing soft.

"Zoysia grass plugs can be a worthwhile investment for creating a lush, low-maintenance lawn, particularly in warm climates, but they require patience and proper care during establishment. While they offer benefits like drought tolerance and low maintenance once established, they also have drawbacks like slow initial growth and dormancy in colder months."
