Outdoor Fireplace Builder in Crosswater (Nocatee)

Gas or wood-burning outdoor fireplaces for Crosswater backyards, designed in AutoCAD.

A fireplace gives an outdoor living room a focal point, the way it does inside. We design custom outdoor fireplaces for homeowners in Crosswater, gas or wood-burning, under a roof or out on the patio, with the mantel, hearth and TV wall planned together. Gas connections are made by our licensed gas trade partners.

Designing an outdoor fireplace for Crosswater

Crosswater Park, with a lap pool, a playground, a pavilion and dog parks, sits between Coastal Oaks and the Crosswater neighborhoods. Crosswater lots are compact and newer, so privacy, shade and staying inside the setbacks drive most designs. Small lots usually suit a gas fire feature, since smoke drifting next door is less of a concern.

Under a roof, a fireplace turns a cover into a living room. Out on the patio, it becomes a destination. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in Crosswater, we check clearances to the roof and walls, where the seating faces and where the chimney or firebox can sit.

NAHB counts outdoor fireplaces among the home features that have grown most in popularity over the past decade.

Approvals and Permits in Crosswater

Crosswater's guidelines are shared across its neighborhoods, and written approval comes before installation. Boards often ask about a fireplace's height, its materials and how far the chimney or firebox sits from the property lines. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Crosswater homes are permitted by St. Johns County. The County requires a building permit for most improvements and, in most cases, a clearance sheet before it accepts the application, and registered architectural review associations are notified automatically when exterior work is filed. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
