Your backyard becomes the place everyone wants to be. Picture this: Florida’s perfect evening temperature, friends gathered around your custom fire pit, the gentle crackle of wood, and conversations that stretch late into the night.
That’s what happens when you add a professionally installed fire pit to your Liberty Triangle property. You’re not just getting a fire feature—you’re creating the backdrop for countless family gatherings, celebrations, and quiet moments of relaxation.
The best part? In Florida’s climate, you’ll use it year-round. While other states pack up their outdoor furniture for months, you’re extending your outdoor season and getting real value from your investment.
Since 1995, we’ve been the family-owned company Liberty Triangle residents trust for outdoor fire pit installation. We’ve seen trends come and go, but one thing never changes: our commitment to doing the job right the first time.
As authorized contractors for Tremron, Flagstone, and Belgard, we work with the same high-quality materials used in commercial projects. But unlike the big companies, you’ll deal directly with us—owners who live and work in your community.
We understand Liberty Triangle’s unique landscape—from the established neighborhoods with mature oak trees to the newer developments along State Road 200. Every fire pit installation is designed to complement your specific property and lifestyle, not some cookie-cutter approach.
The process starts with a conversation about how you want to use your space. Do you envision intimate family gatherings or larger entertaining? Wood-burning for that authentic campfire experience, or gas for convenience?
Next comes the site evaluation. We’ll assess your yard’s drainage, proximity to structures, and existing hardscaping. In Liberty Triangle’s sandy soil conditions, proper foundation work is critical—we install a solid base with appropriate drainage to prevent settling or cracking.
Construction typically takes 2-3 days depending on the design complexity. We handle everything from permits to cleanup, using fire-rated materials and following all local codes. The final step is a walkthrough where we explain proper operation and maintenance, ensuring you’re completely comfortable with your new fire pit before we consider the job complete.

Every fire pit installation includes proper drainage design—essential in Liberty Triangle where afternoon thunderstorms are common. We use materials specifically chosen for Florida’s humidity and temperature swings, ensuring your investment looks great for decades.
You’ll get options for both wood-burning and gas systems. Wood-burning provides that authentic campfire experience and naturally helps repel mosquitoes during summer evenings. Gas systems offer instant lighting and precise flame control, perfect for spontaneous gatherings.
The surrounding hardscape is just as important as the fire pit itself. We can integrate your fire pit with existing paver patios or design a complete outdoor living area. Many Liberty Triangle clients add built-in seating walls, creating a cohesive space that feels like a natural extension of their home. With the area’s growing restaurant and entertainment scene, having your own backyard retreat becomes even more valuable.
Location depends on several factors specific to Liberty Triangle properties. You’ll need at least a 10×10 foot clear area around the fire pit for safe seating and movement. Consider prevailing wind patterns—in this area, afternoon breezes typically come from the southeast.
Keep the fire pit at least 10 feet from structures, overhanging branches, or property lines. Many Liberty Triangle homes have mature oak trees, so we’ll work around existing landscaping while ensuring proper clearances.
The ideal spot provides easy access from your home but feels separate enough to create that “getaway” atmosphere. We’ll evaluate your specific yard during the consultation to recommend the perfect location.
Fire pit installation costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity. A basic paver fire pit starts around $2,500, while custom designs with integrated seating and gas systems can range from $4,000 to $8,000 or more.
The investment includes proper site preparation, fire-rated materials, and professional installation that meets local codes. Many Liberty Triangle homeowners are surprised to learn that a quality fire pit costs less than a major kitchen appliance but provides years of entertainment value.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Most clients find the return on investment—both in property value and lifestyle enhancement—makes it one of their best home improvement decisions.
Permit requirements depend on the type and size of fire pit you’re installing. Portable fire pits typically don’t require permits, but permanent installations usually do, especially if gas lines are involved.
In Marion County, permanent fire features generally need building permits and must meet specific setback requirements from property lines and structures. Gas line installations always require permits and must be performed by licensed professionals.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. Our familiarity with local codes ensures your fire pit meets all requirements the first time, avoiding delays or costly modifications later.
Florida’s climate is actually easier on fire pits than northern climates—no freeze-thaw cycles to crack materials. The main concerns are drainage and occasional cleaning.
After heavy rains, check that drainage is working properly. Remove any debris that might block water flow. For wood-burning pits, clean out ash regularly and inspect the fire ring for any damage from heat expansion.
Gas systems need annual inspections of connections and burner components. The humid climate can cause some corrosion over time, but quality materials and proper installation minimize these issues. Most Liberty Triangle clients find that 15-20 minutes of seasonal maintenance keeps their fire pit looking and functioning like new.
Often, yes—but it depends on your existing patio’s construction and condition. Many Liberty Triangle homes have concrete or paver patios that can support a fire pit with minimal modifications.
We’ll assess your patio’s thickness, base preparation, and overall condition. Sometimes we can build directly on the existing surface. Other times, we’ll need to cut out a section and install proper footings, especially for larger fire pits.
The advantage of working with existing hardscaping is cost savings and faster installation. We’ll show you exactly what’s possible during your consultation and explain any modifications needed to ensure a safe, long-lasting installation.
Both have advantages for Liberty Triangle’s climate and lifestyle. Wood-burning pits provide that authentic campfire experience—the sound, smell, and dancing flames that create ambiance. The smoke also naturally repels mosquitoes, which is valuable during Florida’s summer months.
Gas fire pits offer convenience and control. Turn a valve and you have instant flames at the exact height you want. No need to store wood or clean up ash. They’re perfect for spontaneous gatherings and areas where wood burning might be restricted.
Many clients choose based on how they plan to use their fire pit. Frequent entertainers often prefer gas for the convenience, while families who want the traditional campfire experience choose wood-burning. We can help you decide based on your specific needs and local regulations.
