Designing an outdoor fireplace for RiverTown

RiverTown is a master-planned community of roughly 4,000 acres along the St. Johns River in northwest St. Johns County. Raised paver patios, fire pits and gazebos are popular in RiverTown, and they're all part of our RiverTown work. New-build yards often need a patio extension before a fire feature fits, so we design them together.

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 RiverTown, we check where the chimney or firebox can sit, clearances to the roof and walls and where the seating faces.

Fire pits and fireplaces topped the list of outdoor design elements in a national ASLA survey of residential landscape architects.

Approvals and Permits in RiverTown

In RiverTown, the master association reviews exterior changes, and some neighborhoods like Watersong add their own guidelines. 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.

RiverTown 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.
