Outdoor Fireplaces in St. Johns County

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

For many St. Johns County 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.

Before We Draw Your St. Johns County Outdoor Fireplace

St. Johns County runs from the Ponte Vedra Beach coast and Nocatee to RiverTown on the St. Johns River and St. Augustine to the south. Coastal lots near Ponte Vedra Beach and Vilano Beach face salt air, while inland communities deal more with sun, ponds and preserve. Ocean breezes affect a flame, so the fire feature is placed where the wind won't blow smoke or flame into the seating.

Seating walls on each side of the firebox give it presence and add places to sit. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in St. Johns County, we check clearances to the roof and walls, gas or wood-burning and where the seating faces.

NAHB counts outdoor fireplaces among the home features that have grown most in popularity over the past decade.

Approvals and Permits in St. Johns County

Most St. Johns County homes are in master-planned communities with their own architectural review, from Nocatee and RiverTown to SilverLeaf and Palencia. For an outdoor fireplace, review boards usually want the height, the finish and the location on the lot. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Unincorporated St. Johns County requires a building permit for most improvements and, in most cases, a clearance sheet before it accepts the application. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

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 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.

Will my St. Johns County HOA be notified?If your association is registered with the county, it's notified automatically when exterior work is filed. You still need its approval first.

Do I need HOA approval for an outdoor fireplace in St. Johns County?Plan on it. St. Johns County's planned communities each publish their own guidelines, so the package is built for your community, not the county. We prepare the site plan, scaled drawings and material and color selections and submit them with you. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
