You get a fire pit that becomes the centerpiece of every family gathering. No more wondering if visiting relatives will have anywhere comfortable to spend time outdoors. No more missing out on those perfect Florida evenings because you don’t have the right setup.
Your investment pays off immediately. Every time your grown kids visit, every time friends drop by, every time you want to enjoy a quiet evening outside—your fire pit delivers. It’s not just outdoor décor. It’s the difference between a backyard people tolerate and one they actually choose to spend time in.
The right fire pit installation also means proper safety compliance, materials that last through Florida weather, and a design that actually works with your existing space instead of fighting against it.
We’ve been serving The Villages and Citrus County since 1995 as a family-owned, one-stop outdoor solution provider. We’re authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard—the top paver manufacturers—which means access to premium materials and proper installation techniques.
What sets us apart is our “beyond meticulous” approach to quality. We handle everything from state-licensed irrigation to custom hardscapes, so your fire pit installation integrates perfectly with any future outdoor projects. As the exclusive Seal ‘n Lock distributor in the county, we ensure long-lasting protection for all paver work.
We’re also deeply rooted in the community, participating in hurricane cleanup, supporting local youth programs, and offering military and first responder discounts.
First, we assess your space and discuss your vision—whether you want a cozy gathering spot for four or a larger entertainment area. We’ll walk through fuel options (wood-burning for that authentic campfire experience, or gas for convenience), materials that complement your existing hardscaping, and placement that maximizes both safety and enjoyment.
Next comes the prep work. We handle all excavation, base preparation, and any necessary utility connections. For gas fire pits, we coordinate proper gas line installation. For all installations, we ensure proper drainage to prevent water issues during Florida’s rainy season.
Finally, we build your fire pit using premium materials and proven techniques. Every installation includes proper ventilation, safety compliance with local codes, and integration with your existing outdoor space. You get a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our “beyond meticulous” standards before we consider the job complete.

Your fire pit installation includes complete site preparation, premium materials from authorized manufacturers, and professional installation that meets all local building codes. We use fire-rated materials designed for Florida’s climate and ensure proper drainage to handle the area’s seasonal rainfall.
For The Villages specifically, we understand the community’s preferences for low-maintenance, high-quality outdoor features that enhance the active adult lifestyle. Many residents prefer gas fire pits for convenience, especially when hosting visiting family or entertaining neighbors from their golf cart-accessible patios.
The installation includes safety features like proper clearances from structures, spark arrestors when required, and integration with existing hardscaping. As authorized contractors for premium paver brands, we can create cohesive designs that match existing patios, walkways, or pool decks. Every project comes with manufacturer warranties on materials and our guarantee on workmanship.
Fire pit installation costs in The Villages typically range from $1,200 to $4,500, depending on size, materials, and fuel type. A basic 36-inch paver fire pit with professional installation averages around $2,200, while custom gas fire pits with premium materials can reach $4,500 or more.
The investment makes sense for most Villages residents because fire pits add significant property value and create the outdoor gathering spaces that visiting family and friends actually want to use. Gas fire pits cost more upfront but offer convenience that many active adults prefer, while wood-burning options provide that authentic campfire experience at a lower initial cost.
Most fire pit installations in The Villages don’t require permits, but gas line connections and certain permanent installations may need approval. The Villages has specific guidelines about fire pit placement, size restrictions, and safety clearances that professional contractors understand and follow.
We handle all code compliance as part of our installation service. We know local regulations, including required distances from structures, property lines, and overhead obstacles. This takes the guesswork out of the process and ensures your fire pit meets all community standards without delays or complications.
Working with authorized contractors also means your installation will pass any future inspections if you decide to sell your home.
Gas fire pits are popular in The Villages because they offer instant ignition, easy control, and no cleanup—perfect for spontaneous gatherings or when mobility is a consideration. They’re also cleaner burning and don’t produce smoke that might bother neighbors in closer community settings.
Wood-burning fire pits provide that authentic campfire experience with crackling sounds and the smell of burning wood. They’re also more cost-effective initially and don’t require gas line installation. Many residents choose wood-burning for the natural mosquito-repelling benefits of smoke during Florida’s buggy seasons.
The choice often comes down to convenience versus authenticity. Gas is better for frequent use and entertaining, while wood-burning works well for occasional use and that traditional outdoor fire experience.
Most fire pit installations in The Villages take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one typically involves site preparation, excavation, and base work. Day two covers the actual fire pit construction and any gas line connections if needed. Day three handles finishing touches, cleanup, and final inspection.
Weather can affect timing during Florida’s rainy season, but experienced contractors plan around typical afternoon storms. More complex installations with extensive hardscaping integration or custom seating walls may take 4-5 days.
The timeline also depends on permit requirements and utility coordination for gas installations. We provide realistic schedules upfront and communicate any changes promptly so you can plan accordingly.
Fire pit maintenance in Florida focuses mainly on managing moisture and seasonal debris. Gas fire pits need annual burner cleaning and gas line inspection, plus regular removal of leaves and debris that can clog drainage systems during storm season.
Wood-burning fire pits require ash removal after use and periodic cleaning of the fire bowl. The bigger concern in Florida is ensuring proper drainage works correctly, since standing water can damage fire pit materials and create safety hazards.
Professional installations include proper drainage solutions and use materials designed for Florida’s humidity and temperature swings. Annual professional inspections help catch small issues before they become expensive problems, especially important for gas systems and any electrical components.
Yes, fire pits can be integrated into existing patios, and this is actually preferred in many Villages homes where outdoor living spaces are already established. The key is matching materials and ensuring proper clearances from existing structures and landscaping.
As authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, we can often match existing paver materials exactly or create complementary designs that enhance your current hardscaping. We assess structural requirements, drainage needs, and safety clearances before recommending the best integration approach.
Integration typically costs less than building a completely separate fire pit area, and it creates a more cohesive outdoor living space. Many residents find this approach works better for their golf cart accessibility and existing furniture arrangements.
