A professionally installed outdoor fireplace creates a cozy gathering area and high-end design feature for your outdoor space. Since it extends the time you can spend in your outdoor spaces, it is a highly sought-after feature that can add to property value. As part of our landscaping services, EarthCare Landscape Management can help you design a premium outdoor fireplace that fits with your existing buildings and landscapes. There are a few things to consider before installation:
- Size
- A fireplace that is too big will overwhelm the space, while one that is too small will not provide the impact or warmth you need. EarthCare Landscape Management can help you find the perfect size and design for your property.
- Style
- Your fireplace should blend with your surroundings while still being a focal point. Styles range from traditional to modern, and there are plenty of choices in all styles. EarthCare Landscape Management can help you find the right outdoor fireplace for the “wow” factor you’re seeking to create.
- Hazards
- Fire hazards are a significant concern when installing a fireplace. This is why rules and best practices must be followed to keep them a proper distance from anything flammable. This includes buildings, plants and trees. In very small yards, a fire pit may be an alternative.
- Cleaning
- Outdoor fireplace chimneys must be cleaned regularly, just like indoor chimneys. A professional cleaning reduces the risk of chimney fires, dangerous amounts of smoke and other property damage.
- Water Supply
- A reliable source of water should be on-hand at all times. With proper installation, care and cleaning, problems are less likely to occur. However, fire is still fire, and it is better to react quickly than to be unprepared.
