Outdoor Fireplace Options in Riverside

Stone-clad fireplace. A traditional look in natural or veneer stone.
Stucco with a wood mantel. A clean finish that matches many homes.
Linear gas fireplace. A modern firebox with a TV wall above.

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

Designing an Outdoor Fireplace for Riverside

Much of Riverside grew up after Jacksonville's Great Fire of 1901, so homes range from Victorian to bungalow to Prairie style. With branches overhead, a gas fire feature is often the safer choice.

Most families want a TV with the fireplace, so we plan the power and mounting at the start. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in Riverside, we check gas or wood-burning, which finish matches the house and where the seating faces.

UF/IFAS advises planning your power needs for cooking and lighting early when designing an outdoor living space.

Riverside HOA Review and Permits

Historic review comes first in Riverside. The decision is the City's, and we design with compatibility in mind from the start. 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.

Riverside is inside the consolidated City of Jacksonville, so building permits go through the Building Inspection Division's online system, JaxEPICS. Zoning and the fire marshal review plans along with building, and a Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted jobs. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
