Picture this: cool Florida evenings where your family actually chooses to put down their phones and gather around your custom fire pit. No more wondering what to do with that empty corner of your yard or struggling to get everyone together for quality time.
Your fire pit becomes the natural gathering spot where conversations flow, marshmallows get toasted, and memories get made. Friends start asking when they can come over again. Your kids invite their friends to hang out in your backyard instead of somewhere else.
And here’s the bonus you might not expect – your property value increases too. Homes with fire pits sell faster and for more money because buyers see exactly what you’ve created: a lifestyle upgrade that makes your house feel like home.

Then we handle the installation using our proven process. Site preparation, proper foundation work, premium materials, and attention to every detail that ensures your fire pit looks great and functions perfectly for years. We clean up completely when we’re done, leaving you with just your beautiful new gathering space.

Every fire pit we install is custom-designed for your specific space and needs. Choose from wood-burning for that authentic campfire experience, or gas-burning for convenience and cleaner operation. We work with natural stone, pavers, or brick – whatever complements your home’s style.
In Inverness Highlands North’s climate, we design for year-round use. Your fire pit becomes a focal point during our mild winter months and a gathering spot during cooler summer evenings. We consider wind direction, drainage, and local burn ordinances so you never have to worry about compliance issues.
We also integrate seating walls, lighting, and landscaping to create complete outdoor living spaces. Your fire pit isn’t just a fire pit – it’s the centerpiece of an outdoor room designed for the way you actually live. And because we use premium materials from trusted manufacturers, you get the durability Florida weather demands with the beauty that makes your neighbors take notice.
Fire pit installation typically ranges from $800 to $3,000 depending on size, materials, and complexity. A basic paver fire pit starts around $800-1,200, while custom designs with seating walls and premium materials can reach $2,500-3,500.
The investment makes sense when you consider the value it adds to your property and your lifestyle. Most homeowners see a strong return when they sell, and the immediate benefit of having a beautiful gathering space pays dividends every time you use it.
We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional features so you know exactly what you’re investing in. No surprises, no hidden costs – just honest pricing for quality work that lasts.
The ideal location balances safety, functionality, and aesthetics. We typically recommend at least 10 feet from structures, overhanging branches, or property lines. In Inverness Highlands North, we also consider prevailing wind patterns to minimize smoke issues.
Your fire pit should be easily accessible from your main outdoor living areas but positioned to create a natural conversation circle. We look at sight lines from your house, existing landscaping, and how the space flows for entertaining.
Local regulations in Citrus County require certain clearances and may have specific requirements for permanent installations. We handle all the research and compliance so you don’t have to worry about permits or regulations – we know what’s required and make sure everything meets code.
Most fire pit installations don’t require permits, but permanent installations with gas lines or electrical connections typically do. Citrus County has specific regulations about size, location, and safety features that we navigate for you.
We handle all permit research and applications when required. Our experience with local building departments means we know exactly what’s needed and how to get approvals quickly. You don’t have to deal with paperwork or worry about compliance issues.
For wood-burning fire pits, we also make sure you understand local burn ordinances. These can vary seasonally and during drought conditions. We provide guidance on safe operation and help you understand when burning restrictions might apply to your area.
Most fire pit installations take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one involves site preparation and foundation work. Day two covers the actual construction and material installation. Day three handles finishing touches, cleanup, and final inspection.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Florida’s rainy season. We schedule installations during optimal conditions and communicate any delays immediately. Our goal is to complete your project efficiently without rushing quality.
Complex installations with seating walls, gas lines, or extensive landscaping integration may take 4-5 days. We provide realistic timelines during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process. You’ll know exactly what to expect each day.
Maintenance requirements depend on your fire pit type and materials. Stone and paver fire pits need occasional cleaning and joint sand replenishment. Gas fire pits require annual burner inspection and occasional component replacement.
In Florida’s humid climate, we recommend using covers during extended non-use periods to prevent water accumulation. Regular ash removal for wood-burning pits prevents staining and extends material life. Most maintenance takes just a few minutes each month.
We provide detailed care instructions and can recommend local suppliers for replacement parts or accessories. Many of our clients also schedule annual inspections to keep everything in perfect condition. Proper maintenance ensures your fire pit looks great and functions safely for decades.
Yes, we frequently install fire pits on existing patios, though it depends on the patio’s condition, material, and structural capacity. Concrete patios usually handle fire pit weight well, while some paver patios may need reinforcement.
We evaluate your existing surface and recommend the best approach. Sometimes we can build directly on top, other times we create a dedicated foundation area. The goal is seamless integration that looks like everything was planned together from the beginning.
For paver patios, we often cut out a section and install proper foundation support, then integrate the fire pit materials with your existing pavers. This creates a custom look that adds value and functionality to your current outdoor space.
