St. Augustine Outdoor Fireplace Styles

Wood-burning. The real crackle on a cool night.
Inside a screen room. A fireplace in a screened room is usable on more nights of the year.
Seating walls on each side. Built-in walls beside the firebox give presence and extra seating.
TV above. Power and mounting planned with the fireplace.

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

Before We Draw Your St. Augustine Outdoor Fireplace

Palencia and Markland sit between US 1 and the Intracoastal, where marsh and golf views are part of many lots. A steady sea breeze decides where a fire feature can sit, so we place it in the lee of the house or a wall.

Matching the finish to the house, or to the column wraps, makes the fireplace look like it was always there. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in St. Augustine, we check where the chimney or firebox can sit, clearances to the roof and walls and which finish matches the house.

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

HOA, Historic Review and Permits in St. Augustine

Master-planned communities such as SilverLeaf, Shearwater, Markland and Palencia run their own architectural review, while many older and beach-side neighborhoods follow city or county rules only. For an outdoor fireplace, review boards usually want the height, the finish and the location on the lot. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Homes inside the City of St. Augustine's limits are permitted by the City. In the City's historic preservation zoning districts, most exterior work, including a new accessory structure, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Architectural Review Board before a building permit can be issued. Outside city limits, unincorporated St. Johns County issues a clearance sheet before it accepts the permit application. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Our Design-Build Process

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.
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 City of St. Augustine or 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.
