Should I choose propane or natural gas?

If your home already has natural gas service, that's usually the better long-term choice—lower cost per hour of burn and no tank to refill. Propane wins when there's no gas main at the curb or when the fire pit is far from the meter. We walk through both options during the design visit.

How long does a gas fire pit installation take?

Most installs run one to three days of active work, depending on gas line distance, trenching, and whether stonework is involved. A short run to an existing natural gas line with a pre-fab unit is a one-day job. Permit and inspection add scheduled calendar time.

What clearances does a gas fire pit require?

Every manufacturer specifies minimum distances to structures, overhangs, and combustible materials, and Florida code layers on top of that. Typical clearances run 3 to 10 feet from walls, eaves, and fences depending on BTU output and the unit's listing.

Licensed Gas Piping Specialists

Every gas fire pit starts with safe, properly sized gas piping—and that work is strictly for licensed professionals. Our technicians carry active Florida gas certifications and are trained in line sizing, approved materials, trenching depth, pressure testing, and leak detection. We run the supply line from your meter or tank, terminate it correctly at the fire pit, and verify pressure before the first flame is ever lit. No leaks, no code violations, no surprises.

Professional Design & Layout

We don't just drop a fire pit in your yard—we help you plan the whole space. Our team walks your property, studies sightlines, seating flow, prevailing wind direction, and clearance to structures, then recommends the right size, shape, and style for how you actually use your backyard. Good planning up front means no expensive relocations later and an outdoor room you'll actually want to spend time in.

Design Consultation

Propane & Natural Gas Experience

We install on both fuel systems—and we'll help you decide which makes sense for your home. Natural gas is typically less expensive per BTU and never runs out, but it requires an available meter or service expansion. Propane offers placement flexibility and faster startup for homes without gas service. We size lines, regulators, and tanks correctly for either fuel and explain the trade-offs so you make the right long-term choice.

Brand-Agnostic Installation

Already picked out a unit? We'll install it. Still shopping? We'll help you compare. We work with Warming Trends, Solo Stove, Artisan, HPC, American Fyre Designs, and most other manufacturers, along with custom mason-built pits. Because we're not tied to one brand, we give you honest guidance on BTU output, ignition reliability, warranty coverage, and long-term parts availability for your climate and use pattern.

Florida Code & Permitting

Gas fire pit installation in Florida requires a permit, a licensed contractor, and a final inspection—every time. We know the Florida Fuel Gas Code, local setback and clearance requirements, and the paperwork process for Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and surrounding counties. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and document the install, so everything is legal, insurable, and safe from day one.

Gas Fire Pit Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Fire Pit Installation

Yes. Florida requires a permit for any gas appliance installation that involves new or extended gas piping, and the work must be performed by a licensed contractor. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and provide documentation when the job is complete. This protects your homeowner's insurance, satisfies code, and matters when you sell the home.

If your home already has natural gas service, that's usually the better long-term choice—lower cost per hour of burn, no tank to refill, and clean integration with other outdoor appliances. Propane wins when there's no gas main at the curb, when the fire pit is far from the meter, or when you want freedom to move the setup later. We walk through both options during the design visit and price them honestly.

Most installs run one to three days of active work, depending on gas line distance, trenching, and whether stonework or masonry is involved. A short run to an existing natural gas line with a pre-fab unit is a one-day job. A new line from the meter, underground conduit, and a custom stone pit can take longer. The permit and inspection add scheduled calendar time on top of the hands-on work.

Every manufacturer specifies minimum distances to structures, overhangs, combustible materials, and property lines—and Florida code layers on top of that. Typical clearances run 3 to 10 feet from walls, eaves, and fences depending on BTU output and the unit's listing. We verify clearances during the design visit so placement works on paper and in practice.

Sometimes—but only with the right unit. A fire pit listed for covered installation, adequate ceiling height, and non-combustible clearances above the flame are all required. Many standard outdoor-only units specifically prohibit use under roofs. We'll confirm the unit's listing and the space's dimensions before agreeing to place it under cover.

We install virtually any manufacturer, including Warming Trends, HPC, American Fyre Designs, Artisan, Solo Stove, and Bobe. We also plumb custom mason-built pits with third-party burner kits. If you've already bought a unit, we'll install it. If you're still choosing, we'll compare BTU output, ignition type (match-lit, push-button, or electronic), warranty, and parts support so you pick something that holds up in Florida's humidity and salt air.

Generally, yes. Gas pits produce a controlled flame with no sparks, no embers drifting onto the lawn or roof, and an instant shutoff valve. There's no ash to clean up and no smoke blowing through the screen porch. Professionally installed gas piping is very safe—properly pressure-tested joints don't leak, and modern ignition systems include flame sensors that shut off fuel if the flame goes out.

That's actually the best argument for one. Our winters are mild enough that a fire pit turns the patio into a comfortable evening space from late October through early April. In warmer months, it becomes the visual centerpiece of the yard and a conversation gathering point even when it's not lit. With proper covers and seasonal cleaning, a well-installed pit lasts decades in the Florida climate.

Absolutely, and it's smart to plan it that way. Running one correctly sized natural gas line to feed the fire pit, grill, side burner, patio heaters, and pool heater is far cheaper than adding each one separately later. We calculate total BTU demand, size the manifold, and route lines so the whole outdoor space is ready to expand when you are.

Very little. Keep the media bed (glass or rock) clean of leaves and debris, inspect the burner ports once or twice a year for clogs, and check the ignition and flame sensor annually. We include fire pit inspection on our maintenance plans, which is a good fit if you also have other gas appliances in the home.
