Outdoor fire features serve as natural gathering points that encourage social interaction while providing warmth and ambiance during cooler months. Our construction services address site selection, fuel source integration, seating arrangements, and safety considerations through systematic planning and execution throughout the region.
Built-in fire features accommodate property-specific dimensions, material preferences, and functional requirements that prefabricated units cannot match. We construct permanent installations using stone veneer, brick, concrete block, and specialty materials selected for heat resistance and aesthetic compatibility with existing hardscaping.
Propane and natural gas systems deliver convenient operation without wood storage requirements or ash cleanup. Our gas installations incorporate proper burner sizing, flame control mechanisms, and code-compliant gas line connections that ensure safe operation and reliable performance.
Traditional wood-fueled features provide authentic campfire experiences with crackling sounds and aromatic smoke that enhance outdoor gatherings. We construct wood-burning installations with appropriate ventilation, drainage provisions, and clearances from combustible materials that satisfy fire safety standards.
Manufactured metal and ceramic fire bowls offer flexibility in positioning without permanent site modifications. Our installation services include proper base preparation, fuel supply connections when applicable, and guidance regarding safe placement distances from structures and vegetation.
Each installation project presents distinct challenges related to site conditions, existing landscaping, utility locations, and regulatory requirements. JH Landscapes addresses these variables through careful planning and execution that accounts for site-specific conditions across the metro area.
Effective fire features require coordinated seating arrangements that accommodate multiple users at comfortable distances from flames. We design installations that incorporate built-in benches, freestanding seat walls, or furniture zones positioned for conversation and heat enjoyment.
Elevated fire features with surrounding ledges serve dual purposes as gathering spots and outdoor dining surfaces. Our installations incorporate appropriate table heights, heat-resistant materials, and burner configurations that balance flame visibility with functional surface area.
Contemporary designs integrate fire elements with water features, creating dramatic visual contrasts through opposing natural elements. We construct combination installations that address plumbing requirements, drainage provisions, and material selections appropriate for both water contact and heat exposure.
JH Landscapes has installed fire features across residential properties, hospitality venues, and commercial developments since our company’s establishment. Our construction crews understand masonry techniques, gas line installation procedures, and fire safety regulations that ensure code-compliant installations. We coordinate with licensed gas fitters and electrical contractors when projects require utility connections beyond the standard landscape construction scope.
Here are the factors that distinguish our fire feature construction services:
Safety-Focused Installation Practices: Our construction methods incorporate appropriate clearances, non-combustible materials, drainage provisions, and ventilation considerations that prevent hazardous conditions and ensure long-term safe operation.
Code Compliance Expertise: We understand local fire codes, gas line regulations, and permit requirements that govern outdoor fire feature construction, ensuring installations pass inspection and operate legally.
Quality Materials and Components: All installations utilize heat-resistant stone, appropriate mortar formulations, properly rated burner systems, and code-compliant gas components selected for durability and safe operation.
Integrated Design Approach: We develop fire features that complement existing hardscaping, coordinate with seating arrangements, and enhance overall outdoor living space functionality rather than appearing as isolated additions.
JH Landscapes provides specialized construction services addressing various aspects of outdoor space development. Our service portfolio encompasses structural installations, decorative features, and functional elements that transform properties into refined outdoor environments. Fire pit installations often coordinate with patio construction, seating walls, and outdoor kitchen development.
Here are the specialized hardscape services our company provides:
An outdoor fireplace becomes a centerpiece for socializing on chilly nights. It also brings an elegant accent that enriches your entertainment space.
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.

We maintain working knowledge of municipal fire codes and permitting requirements across our coverage area.
Here are the locations where our fire pit installation services are available:
Successful fire pit construction requires thorough site assessment, appropriate fuel source selection, proper material choices, and attention to safety regulations.

Call (704) 999-0976 to discuss your outdoor fire feature objectives and receive preliminary guidance regarding design approaches, fuel options, and construction timelines.
Most municipalities require permits for permanent fire features, particularly those with gas connections or exceeding certain size thresholds. Regulations address clearance distances from structures, property lines, and combustible materials. JH Landscapes verifies local requirements and manages permit applications when necessary.
Building codes typically require minimum distances of 10 to 25 feet from structures, depending on fire feature size and type. Clearances from overhanging branches, fences, and combustible materials prevent fire hazards. We evaluate site conditions during planning to ensure compliant placement that maintains safety margins.
Natural gas provides convenient operation for frequent users with existing gas service. Propane offers similar convenience for properties without gas lines. Wood-burning features deliver authentic experiences but require fuel storage and more extensive cleanup. Selection depends on usage patterns, aesthetic preferences, and available utilities.
Regional weather permits comfortable outdoor fire feature use during spring, fall, and winter months. Summer heat typically discourages use during the afternoon and early evening hours. Gas systems operate reliably in all conditions, while wood-burning features may present challenges during wet weather without adequate cover.
Gas systems need annual burner cleaning, connection inspections, and occasional component replacement. Wood-burning features require ash removal, periodic masonry cleaning, and mortar repointing as weather exposure causes deterioration. Covers protect features from precipitation and debris accumulation when not in use.
Permanent outdoor fire features typically require notification to insurance carriers, though they rarely affect premium rates when properly installed and maintained. Insurance companies may request installation documentation confirming code compliance and appropriate construction methods. We provide the necessary documentation upon project completion for insurance purposes.
