Outdoor Fireplace Builder in St. Johns, FL

A focal point outside: outdoor fireplaces for St. Johns homes, under a roof or on the patio.

For many St. Johns 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. Plenty of St. Johns homes were built with a basic covered lanai, so extending it, screening it or adding a roofed room beside it is a common first project.

Planning an Outdoor Fireplace in St. Johns

St. Johns (32259) covers a lot of ground, from Julington Creek down to the newer communities to the south, and the lots change from wooded to wide open along the way. 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 St. Johns, we check gas or wood-burning, whether a TV goes above 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 St. Johns

Most St. Johns neighborhoods are planned communities with their own architectural review, and many larger ones have village or sub-association rules on top of the master 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.

Permits for St. Johns homes come from St. Johns County. The county requires a recorded Notice of Commencement before the first inspection on permitted projects, and electrical work is permitted and inspected like the rest of the build. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
