Fire Pit Installation in RiverTown

Gas and wood-burning fire pits for RiverTown patios, built into the seating and the stonework.

Families in RiverTown often tell us the fire pit is what gets them outside after dinner. We design it as part of the patio, gas or wood-burning, with seating that faces the fire and the view.

Fire Pit Options in RiverTown

Sunken fire areas. A step down to the fire with benches makes a cozy room in the yard.
Fire tables. A linear fire table can sit at seating height on the patio.
Its own paver area. A separate patio for the fire, linked by a path.
Next to the kitchen. Fire and cooking close together keeps the evening in one place.

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

Before We Draw Your RiverTown Fire Pit

RiverTown is a master-planned community of roughly 4,000 acres along the St. Johns River in northwest St. Johns County. RiverTown has many neighborhoods, such as Watersong, and some have their own guidelines on top of the master rules. Facing the water, the fire area is often placed at the edge of the patio so the view is part of the evening.

A path and a few step lights make the walk back to the house easy after dark. Before we draw a fire pit in RiverTown, we check clearance from the house, fence and trees, which way the wind blows smoke and the path back to the house.

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

Approvals and Permits in RiverTown

RiverTown reviews backyard structures and hardscape, so even a paver extension usually needs approval. Boards often ask whether the fire pit is gas or wood-burning and how far it sits from the house and the property lines. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

In RiverTown, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum budget for a fire pit in RiverTown?Yes. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum. Beyond that, the cost depends on lighting; gas or wood; size and finish; benches and seat walls; and permits, and your fully itemized custom quote comes within 24 hours of your consultation.

What seating works around a fire pit?Built-in benches and seat walls work well because they define the fire area. We plan them in AutoCAD.

How far should a fire pit be from the house?It depends on the fire type and local rules. We plan clearances from the house, the fence and any structure during design.

Do you work in Watersong?Yes. We've built paver patios, a pergola, seating walls and a paver driveway in Watersong. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Will my RiverTown HOA review a fire pit?In most cases, yes. RiverTown's architectural review covers exterior additions, and neighborhood-level guidelines can apply too. We put the package together and handle the submittal with you. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
