Call (704) 999-0976 to schedule your property consultation and explore fireplace designs suited to your outdoor living space now.
Vertical fire features provide substantial heat output, visual impact, and architectural definition that distinguish properties while creating comfortable outdoor environments during cooler seasons. Our construction services address design integration, structural engineering, fuel source selection, and building code compliance throughout the region.
Permanent outdoor fireplaces incorporate foundations, firebox construction, chimney systems, and decorative elements that reflect architectural styles and client preferences. We construct masonry installations using natural stone, brick, cast stone, and stucco finishes selected for heat resistance and aesthetic compatibility with existing structures.
Propane and natural gas systems deliver convenient operation with instant ignition, adjustable flame control, and minimal maintenance requirements. Our gas installations incorporate appropriate burner systems, venting configurations, and code-compliant utility connections that ensure safe, reliable performance.
Traditional wood-fueled fireplaces provide authentic experiences with substantial heat output and the ambiance of crackling logs. We construct wood-burning installations with proper fireboxes, smoke chambers, flue systems, and clearances that satisfy building codes and fire safety standards.
Manufactured fireplace units offer streamlined installation with tested components and warranty protection. Our installation services include proper foundation preparation, manufacturer-specified clearances, utility connections, and custom surround construction that integrates units into coordinated outdoor designs.
Each fireplace project presents distinct challenges related to site conditions, architectural integration, utility access, and regulatory compliance. JH Landscapes addresses these variables through systematic planning and construction practices that ensure successful outcomes across the metro area.
Effective outdoor fireplaces require coordinated space planning that accommodates seating arrangements, traffic flow, and heat distribution zones. We design installations that incorporate adjacent seating walls, patio extensions, and furniture placement that optimize fireplace visibility and warmth enjoyment.
Fireplace designs should complement existing architecture through coordinated materials, proportional massing, and stylistic elements. Our construction approach considers building facades, rooflines, and landscape features to develop fireplaces that appear as intentional architectural extensions rather than afterthought additions.
Contemporary designs incorporate television mounting, storage niches, cooking grates, and pizza oven elements that expand functionality beyond simple fire viewing. We construct multi-purpose installations addressing electrical requirements, heat-resistant materials, and spatial organization appropriate to intended uses.
JH Landscapes has constructed outdoor fireplaces across residential estates, hospitality properties, and commercial venues since our company’s establishment. Our masons possess expertise in structural construction, proper flue sizing, and weatherproofing techniques that ensure safe operation and long-term durability. We coordinate with structural engineers and licensed gas contractors when projects require specialized expertise beyond the standard masonry construction scope.
Here are the factors that distinguish our fireplace construction services:
Structural Engineering Knowledge: We understand foundation requirements, load-bearing capacities, and proper construction sequences essential to building freestanding masonry structures that remain stable and safe through years of use and weather exposure.
Code Compliance Expertise: Our construction methods satisfy building codes governing clearances, flue heights, fire safety provisions, and gas line installations, ensuring structures pass inspection and operate legally.
Quality Masonry Craftsmanship: All installations demonstrate proper mortar mixing, joint tooling, stone selection, and detail work that deliver both structural integrity and aesthetic refinement appropriate to investment levels.
Comprehensive Project Management: We coordinate all construction phases, including permit acquisition, foundation installation, masonry construction, utility connections, and final inspections through unified oversight.
JH Landscapes provides specialized construction services addressing various aspects of outdoor space development. Our service portfolio encompasses structural installations, decorative features, and functional elements. Outdoor fireplace projects often coordinate with patio construction, seating walls, and outdoor kitchen installations to create comprehensive outdoor living environments.
Here are the specialized hardscape services our company provides:
A fire pit extends the seasonal use of your yard by offering warmth and ambiance. It also encourages gatherings with a cozy, welcoming appeal.
Enjoy cooking and dining outside without missing out on conversation. This setup also keeps strong cooking odors and messes out of your main kitchen.
Patios provide a stable foundation for seating, dining, or simply relaxing outdoors. They also allow you to define a specific area for gatherings in your Waxhaw, NC yard.
Seating walls create additional spots for friends and family to rest. Retaining walls support sloped areas to prevent erosion and maintain a visually balanced landscape.
Outdoor stairs make it easier to navigate properties with elevation changes. They also add a stylish architectural feature that can tie multiple levels together.
Properly installed walkways guide visitors to your front door or backyard. A well-constructed driveway not only supports vehicles but also boosts the home’s overall appearance.
A small pond, fountain, or waterfall adds soothing sounds and movement to your space. It also invites wildlife, introducing a natural charm to your surroundings.

Building permits apply to all permanent outdoor fireplace installations regardless of fuel type. Permit requirements address structural design, foundation specifications, flue height, clearances from combustibles, and gas line connections when applicable. JH Landscapes manages permit applications and coordinates inspection schedules throughout construction.
Project costs vary considerably based on size, materials, and features. Basic masonry fireplaces typically range from $8,000 to $15,000, while elaborate installations with natural stone, extensive height, and integrated features may exceed $25,000. Gas line extensions and electrical work add to base construction costs, depending on the distance from existing utilities.
Building codes typically mandate minimum distances of 10 to 15 feet from combustible building components, including wood siding, eaves, and windows. Specific requirements vary based on fireplace height, flue design, and local jurisdiction. We verify applicable clearances during design development to ensure code compliance.
Regional weather permits comfortable fireplace use during fall, winter, and spring months. Summer temperatures typically discourage use during afternoon hours, though cool evenings remain suitable. Gas systems operate reliably in all weather conditions, while wood-burning fireplaces function best during dry periods.
Masonry structures need periodic inspection for mortar deterioration, crack development, and weather damage requiring repointing or repair. Flue systems require annual cleaning to remove creosote buildup and ensure proper draft. Gas burner systems benefit from annual professional servicing, including connection inspection and component cleaning.
Quality outdoor fireplaces typically enhance property values through improved outdoor living functionality and aesthetic appeal. Return on investment varies based on overall property value, regional market conditions, and installation quality. Well-designed fireplaces integrated into comprehensive outdoor living spaces generally command stronger value appreciation than standalone installations.
