Planning an outdoor fireplace in Crosswinds

A central neighborhood park, four pocket parks and golf-cart access to the Nocatee Town Center are part of daily life in Crosswinds. Crosswinds yards are efficient, so a design has to fit the setbacks and still leave room to play. Small lots usually suit a gas fire feature, since smoke drifting next door is less of a concern.

Seating walls on each side of the firebox give it presence and add places to sit. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in Crosswinds, we check clearances to the roof and walls, whether a TV goes above and where the seating faces.

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

Approvals and Permits in Crosswinds

Crosswinds has its own association, and projects are reviewed on top of the Nocatee master rules. For an outdoor fireplace, review boards usually want the height, the finish and the location on the lot. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

St. Johns County issues the building permit in Crosswinds. Expect a clearance step first, an automatic notice to registered architectural review associations, and a recorded Notice of Commencement for most permitted projects. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the St. Johns County permits.
Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.
