Fire Pits in Duval County

Duval County fire pits designed as a destination, with benches, seat walls and lights.

Families in Duval County 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.

Duval County Fire Pit Ideas

Gas fire pit. Starts with a switch and has no smoke. Gas connections by our licensed trade partners.
Seat walls. Walls at seating height around the fire area.
Sunken fire areas. A step down to the fire with benches makes a cozy room in the yard.
Its own paver area. A separate patio for the fire, linked by a path.

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

Before We Draw Your Duval County Fire Pit

Many Duval County homes have no HOA, while gated communities like Deerwood and Tamaya have detailed guidelines. Near the beaches, salt air and wind shape the materials; inland, it's shade, humidity and summer storms. With branches overhead, a gas fire feature is often the safer choice.

Placement comes first. We check clearances from the house, the fence, trees and any roof before picking a spot. Before we draw a fire pit in Duval County, we check clearance from the house, fence and trees, how seating wraps the fire and the path back to the house.

Before leaving a fire, NFPA advises dousing it with water and making sure the area is cool to the touch.

Approvals and Permits in Duval County

Duval County's gated communities and historic districts each add a review step before the permit. 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.

City of Jacksonville building permits are filed through JaxEPICS and reviewed for building code, zoning and fire safety. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our Duval County permit guide. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
