For over 35 years, Lavish Gardens Landscape has transformed outdoor spaces across Northern California โ€” one masterpiece at a time.

Outdoor Living ยท Fire

Masonry firebox,
modern controls.

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

01

Isokern modular cores

Engineered firebox, traditional masonry skin.

02

Proper draft height

Chimney sized to firebox; smoke goes up, not into the patio.

03

Gas-valve options

Manual, key-valve, or remote with safety shutoff.

Materials & Spec

The short list we trust.

Isokern modular firebox Engineered for outdoor use
Stone veneer Matched to home or hardscape
Lava rock & glass media For gas fire pits
Cedar timber mantels Reclaimed and finished

The Process

Four steps. A clear vision.

01

Site & wind study

Prevailing wind direction, draft considerations.

02

Design & permit

Drawings, gas line plans, permits where required.

03

Build

Foundation, firebox, masonry skin, chimney.

04

First fire

Curing burn and operational walkthrough.

Considerations

Questions worth asking.

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.
