Fireplaces & Fire Pits
Masonry fireplaces, gas fire features, and gathering pits
sized to the conversation, not the catalog.
For over 35 years, Lavish Gardens Landscape has transformed outdoor spaces across Northern California โ one masterpiece at a time.
From Rocklin to El Dorado Hills, our licensed and insured team brings meticulous craftsmanship to every property. We understand the local climate, soil, and lifestyle โ so every garden thrives where you live.
Outdoor Living ยท Fire
As a core part of our Outdoor Living Environments practice, this discipline is where the craft becomes specific โ the techniques, materials, and tolerances that separate generational work from passable work.
Fire is the gravitational center of the outdoor room. The right feature pulls a gathering together; the wrong one is a wind-blown afterthought in the corner of the patio.
We design fire features for scale, draft, and code โ masonry hearths, gas line tables, and wood-burning pits each have a place in the right composition.
Our fireplaces use Isokern firebricks and traditional draft engineering, paired with modern gas valves and remote ignition where appropriate. Heat goes up the chimney; warmth goes to the seating area.
The Craft
Engineered firebox, traditional masonry skin.
Chimney sized to firebox; smoke goes up, not into the patio.
Manual, key-valve, or remote with safety shutoff.
Materials & Spec
The Process
Prevailing wind direction, draft considerations.
Drawings, gas line plans, permits where required.
Foundation, firebox, masonry skin, chimney.
Curing burn and operational walkthrough.
Considerations
Both, depending on use. Gas for evening drinks; wood for serious gatherings. Many of our hearths handle both.
Yes, with proper clearance to combustibles and, for wood, compliance with local burn restrictions.
