Every fire pit installation includes site excavation, proper base preparation, and professional-grade paver installation. We use specialized firebricks for the interior walls and your choice of decorative pavers for the exterior design.
You get a protective metal ring that prevents heat damage to your pavers, proper drainage to handle Florida’s rainy seasons, and sand bedding for optimal fire management. We also include initial setup guidance and maintenance instructions.
In Inverness, we see a lot of requests for fire pits that complement existing pool decks and patio areas. The key is choosing pavers that coordinate with your current hardscape while creating a distinct gathering area. Popular choices include Tremron’s Villa Stone and Belgard’s Catalina series, both of which handle our humid climate beautifully.
Most of our Citrus County clients opt for wood-burning fire pits because they love the authentic campfire experience. The crackling sounds, the natural aroma, and the ritual of building and tending the fire all add to the appeal. Plus, wood smoke naturally helps repel mosquitoes during those warm summer evenings.
Fire pit installation costs typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 in the Inverness area, depending on size, materials, and site conditions. A standard 4-foot diameter paver fire pit with quality materials and professional installation usually runs between $1,800 and $2,400.
The price includes excavation, base preparation, paver installation, protective metal ring, and proper drainage. Additional costs might include site access challenges, utility line marking, or coordinating with existing hardscape features.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor, so you know exactly what you’re investing in. No surprises, no hidden fees—just transparent pricing from a local business that’s been serving Citrus County families for nearly 30 years.
The ideal fire pit location is at least 10 feet from your house, deck, or any combustible structures, and 25 feet from overhanging branches. You also want to consider prevailing wind patterns to avoid smoke blowing toward your home or seating areas.
We look for level ground that won’t require extensive grading, with good drainage to prevent water pooling during Florida’s rainy season. Proximity to your main entertaining area is important—close enough to feel connected but far enough to be safe.
In Citrus County, we often recommend positioning fire pits where they can serve as a bridge between your patio and yard, creating natural flow for gatherings. We’ll evaluate your specific property during our consultation and recommend the optimal placement for both safety and enjoyment.
Most fire pit installations take one to two days, depending on size and site conditions. Simple installations on level ground with good access can often be completed in a single day.
More complex projects involving extensive excavation, drainage work, or coordination with existing hardscape might take two days. Weather can also affect timing—we won’t install during heavy rain or when ground conditions aren’t optimal.
We’ll give you a specific timeline during your estimate and keep you informed if anything changes. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your routine while ensuring every detail is done right. After nearly three decades in business, we’ve learned that rushing leads to problems, so we take the time needed to do quality work.
Paver fire pits require minimal maintenance when properly installed. After each use, remove ash and debris once the pit has completely cooled. Periodically check the metal ring for rust or damage and replace if needed.
The pavers themselves should be cleaned annually with a pressure washer or stiff brush to remove soot and weather staining. If you notice any pavers becoming loose or cracked, address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.
In Florida’s climate, you might see some algae or mildew growth on pavers during humid periods. A solution of water and mild detergent usually handles this easily. We also recommend our Seal ‘n Lock treatment, which we’re the exclusive local distributor for—it helps protect against staining and makes cleaning much easier.
We install both wood-burning and gas fire pits, depending on your preferences and local regulations. Gas fire pits offer convenience and cleaner burning, while wood-burning pits provide that authentic campfire experience most people love.
For gas installations, we coordinate with licensed plumbers to ensure proper gas line installation and safety compliance. This adds to the project timeline and cost but gives you the convenience of instant ignition and precise flame control.
Most of our Citrus County clients choose wood-burning fire pits because they enjoy the ritual and ambiance of a real fire. Plus, wood smoke helps keep mosquitoes away during those warm Florida evenings. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each option during your consultation and help you make the best choice for your family’s needs.
Permit requirements vary depending on fire pit size, type, and location on your property. Most standard paver fire pits don’t require permits, but gas-connected units typically do require permits and professional gas line installation.
We’re familiar with local Citrus County regulations and will handle any necessary permit applications as part of our service. This ensures your installation meets all safety codes and won’t cause issues if you sell your home later.
Before starting any project, we verify current requirements with local authorities. Building codes can change, and what was acceptable last year might have new requirements today. Our experience with local regulations means you don’t have to worry about compliance issues—we handle all the details so you can focus on enjoying your new fire pit.
