    Outdoor gas fire features are huge in Port St. Lucie — the climate practically demands a backyard you can use ten months of the year. Here's what we install, what holds up in Florida's salt air, and what the install actually involves.

    What we install outdoors

    • Built-in outdoor gas fireplaces (Heat & Glo Twilight, Napoleon Galaxy)
    • Custom outdoor fire pits with stainless burners
    • Linear gas fire tables
    • Tiki torches plumbed to your gas line
    • Fire-and-water combo features

    What survives Florida coastal exposure

    Anything within five miles of the coast in Port St. Lucie needs 316-grade stainless burners, not 304. Aluminum trim corrodes within two seasons. Powder-coated steel rusts. We default to 316 stainless and sealed electronics rated for outdoor exposure.

    Permits and gas supply

    Any new outdoor gas line needs a permit and inspection. If you're on natural gas, we run a dedicated line from your meter; on LP, we either tap an existing tank or set a new one. Burner BTU has to match the supply line size — undersizing the line is the most common DIY mistake we get called to fix.

    Ballpark installed costs

    • Drop-in fire pit kit: $1,800–$3,500
    • Custom built-in fire pit: $4,500–$9,000
    • Full outdoor fireplace: $9,000–$22,000+
