Crosswater Fire Pit Ideas

Wood-burning fire pit. The real crackle and smell of a fire.
Seat walls. Walls at seating height around the fire area.
Fire tables. A linear fire table can sit at seating height on the patio.
Fire bowls. A fire bowl on a seat wall or column adds a glow.

Fire pits and fireplaces topped the list of outdoor design elements in a national ASLA survey of residential landscape architects.

Planning a fire pit in Crosswater

Crosswater is an Americana-themed group of Nocatee neighborhoods, including Freedom Landing, Heritage Trace and Liberty Cove. Anthem Ridge, Franklin Square and Pioneer Village are also listed under Crosswater, so we confirm which guidelines apply to your street. Near water, a fire feature at the patio edge makes the view part of the evening.

Gas fire pits are easy to use and smoke-free, while wood-burning fire pits give the classic crackle. We help you weigh both at the in-home visit. Before we draw a fire pit in Crosswater, we check which way the wind blows smoke, the path back to the house and whether lights are wanted in the seat walls.

NFPA advises never adding lighter fluid or any other flammable liquid to a fire that's already burning.

Approvals and Permits in Crosswater

In Crosswater, the neighborhood guidelines and the Nocatee master rules both apply, so the package has to satisfy both. For a fire pit, review boards commonly look at the fuel type, the materials and its location on the lot. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

In Crosswater, permits come from St. Johns County. We file the clearance sheet and the permit application, record the Notice of Commencement the county requires for most permitted projects, and schedule the inspections. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
