Outdoor Fireplace Builder in Fruit Cove, FL

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

For many Fruit Cove families, the fireplace is the reason the covered patio gets used all winter. We plan it with the structure, the seating and the TV so the whole room works together. Many Fruit Cove homes already have a screened lanai, and many projects extend the paved space just outside it.

Planning an Outdoor Fireplace in Fruit Cove

Fruit Cove isn't a city, so permits come from St. Johns County even when the mailing address reads Jacksonville or St. Johns. With branches overhead, a gas fire feature is often the safer choice.

Linear gas fireplaces suit modern homes, while stone fireplaces suit traditional ones. We show you both in AutoCAD. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in Fruit Cove, we check clearances to the roof and walls, gas or wood-burning and which finish matches the house.

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

Approvals and Permits in Fruit Cove

Some Fruit Cove homes are in planned communities like Julington Creek Plantation or Cunningham Creek Plantation with an architectural review board, and some older riverfront lots have no HOA at all. 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.

Permits for Fruit Cove homes come from St. Johns County. The county requires a recorded Notice of Commencement before the first inspection on permitted projects. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an outdoor fireplace cost in Fruit Cove? It depends on the design, so there's no standard price. The main cost drivers are mantel, hearth and TV; the structure around it; the size and style; finish; and permits. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum, and you get a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation.

Do I need a permit for an outdoor fireplace? Typically yes, and fireplaces have code requirements for placement and clearances. We design to code and handle the permitting.

What finishes can an outdoor fireplace have? Stone, stucco or a clean linear look. Amany helps you choose a finish that matches the house.

Who reviews changes in Julington Creek Plantation? The community's POA, not its CDD, handles architectural change requests. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Do I need HOA approval for an outdoor fireplace in Fruit Cove? Plan on it. Planned Fruit Cove communities have architectural review; many riverfront lots don't. We check yours first. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
