Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces in Charleston, SC

A fire pit or outdoor fireplace turns a patio into a place people stay after dinner. We build fire features as part of a larger paver project, so the seating, clearances and materials are planned together and shown to you in 3D first.

What to know about fire pits and fireplaces

How fire features are priced

Priced from your design, as part of a patio project

Fire pits, gas features and full outdoor fireplaces vary widely in scope, so your free estimate sets the exact scope and price. Our projects start at $10,000.

What is included

  • The feature placed for seating, sightlines and safe clearances
  • A footing or base built for the weight of the feature
  • Block, stone or brick to match the patio
  • A fire-rated liner or ring where the design calls for it
  • An optional seating wall around the fire
  • Gas or electrical coordination through licensed trades when needed

Materials

Fire features are built from the same block, stone or brick families as your patio and walls, so they look designed together. We show how the fire feature, seating and surface fit as a set.

What we plan for around Charleston

  • Setbacks from the house, fences and overhanging live oak branches
  • Burn rules and HOA rules that can limit wood-burning fires
  • Wind off the water on the islands, which changes where seating goes
  • Gas versus wood: gas is cleaner and easier, wood gives the traditional feel

Questions about fire pits and fireplaces

Do you build fire pits by themselves?

We build fire features as part of a paver patio project, which is how the base, seating and clearances work together.

Should I choose gas or wood?

Gas is easier, cleaner and often simpler under HOA rules. Wood gives the classic crackle and smell. We show both in the design so you can decide.

How close can a fire pit be to my house?

Clearance rules depend on the type of fire feature, your local code and your HOA. We plan the placement in the 3D layout and confirm the rules for your address.
