Designing an Outdoor Fireplace in San Marco

  • Stucco with a wood mantel. A clean finish that matches many homes.

  • TV above. Power and mounting planned with the fireplace.

  • Hearth seating. A raised hearth that doubles as a bench.

  • Lighting on the fireplace. Accent lights on the stone or the mantel.

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

Before We Draw Your San Marco Outdoor Fireplace

Granada, San Jose and Miramar have deeper lots than the blocks near the Square, with more room for a structure. A fire feature behind a historic home works best in materials that echo the house.

A fireplace needs room around it. We plan clearances to the roof, walls and furniture before choosing the size. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in San Marco, we check where the chimney or firebox can sit, whether a TV goes above and where the seating faces.

NFPA advises never adding lighter fluid or any other flammable liquid to a fire that's already burning.

HOA, Historic Review and Permits in San Marco

San Marco isn't a locally designated historic district, but individual homes can be local landmarks, and a local landmark needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City before exterior work. We check your property on the City's map before we design. For an outdoor fireplace, review boards usually want the height, the finish and the location on the lot. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

In San Marco, permits are issued by the City of Jacksonville through JaxEPICS, and any other approval your lot needs has to be in hand before the permit is issued. Electrical work is permitted and inspected with the rest of the project. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Our Design-Build Process

  1. Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your outdoor fireplace take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the City of Jacksonville permits.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Financing is available through Synchrony Bank, including 18 months of no-interest financing, and we have other financing options as well.
