We specialize in outdoor fireplace design-build, gas fire feature installation, and integrated outdoor living projects built to Houston standards. Every project is engineered for safety, longevity, and HOA/permit compliance.

Custom Outdoor Fireplace Construction

When you want a centerpiece that anchors the patio, our custom masonry fireplaces solve drafts, smoke, and durability concerns. We pour a reinforced concrete footing with rebar, build a CMU block core, and line the firebox with fire brick and refractory mortar. Flue sizing, smoke chamber geometry, and spark arrestors are tuned to minimize smoke. Choose brick, natural limestone, stone veneer, or stucco finishes with travertine caps. We follow NFPA 211 and IFC clearances for safe placement and performance. Learn more about our Custom Outdoor Fireplace Construction services.

Why Choose Us for Outdoor Fireplaces in Pearland, TX

Houston Outdoor Fireplaces is a local, family-owned team serving Greater Houston since 2009. We’ve delivered thousands of safe, beautiful fire features that pass inspection the first time. Our NFI-certified specialists, TSBPE-licensed plumbers, and TDLR-licensed electricians ensure your project meets NFPA 211, IFC, and manufacturer standards. If you’re comparing Outdoor Fireplace Pearland TX companies, we’ll show you the difference in materials, methods, and service.

Certified Expertise You Can Verify

Our designers hold NFI Gas and Wood-Burning credentials and apply Hearth Design best practices to minimize smoke and maximize draft. For cleaning and inspections, we follow CSIA methodologies. Hardscape crews work to CMHA/ICPI standards for stable bases, proper compaction, and long-term performance.

We’re active with HPBA and GHBA and stay current on Pearland Fire Marshal guidance, HOA deed restrictions, and listed appliance manuals. That means your plan considers flue sizing, stack height ratios, and noncombustible clearances before we ever break ground.

Permits, HOA, and Code Compliance - Handled

Pearland projects often require Community Development permits and inspections, plus HOA approvals in Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, Southwyck, and Southern Trails. We prepare submittals with drawings, specs, and finish samples and coordinate City inspections at each stage.

Gas lines are installed by TSBPE-licensed plumbers with pressure tests documented by a manometer. Electric ignition and lighting are done by TDLR-licensed electricians on GFCI-protected circuits. We follow IFC, NFPA 211, and manufacturer manuals for clearances, venting, spark arrestors, and shutoff valve locations. You get a compliant project without the paperwork headache.

Built to Last in Houston Weather

We use reinforced footings sized for fireplace mass, CMU cores, and refractory mortar in the firebox to resist heat cycling. Expansion joints between masonry and slabs reduce cracking. Where projects sit near salt-chlorinated pools, we recommend brick or sealed cast-stone and stainless burners for corrosion resistance.

Under patio covers, we integrate heat shields and maintain required clearances to combustibles. Drainage slopes, weep paths, and proper lath/scratch coats keep stone veneer tight through Houston’s wet seasons and heat. The result: a fireplace that looks great year after year.

Tools, Process, and Safety

Our crews use masonry wet saws with diamond blades, plate compactors, laser levels, trenching tools, and core drills for clean, precise work. We protect your home with dust control, PPE, and daily site cleanup. Utilities are located and marked before we trench or set footings.

Process example: In 2024, we completed an 8-foot linear gas fireplace with seating wall in Shadow Creek Ranch - stainless burner with electronic ignition, travertine caps, and stacked-stone veneer - completed in 12 working days, passed inspections on the first visit, and integrated seamlessly with an existing patio cover.

Transparent Pricing and Communication

You’ll receive an itemized proposal with finish options, BTU sizing, and allowances for gas/electrical. Typical ranges in 2024: gas fire pits $3,500–$9,500; masonry fireplaces $10,000–$28,000; linear/see-through units $16,000–$40,000+ depending on size, finishes, and utilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a gas fire pit or outdoor fireplace in Pearland?

In most cases, yes. Gas line additions typically require a City of Pearland permit and inspections, and work must be performed by a TSBPE-licensed plumber. Masonry fireplaces may also require building permits and Fire Marshal review. We handle drawings, submittals, and inspection scheduling for you, and install to IFC, NFPA 211, and manufacturer specifications to ensure a smooth pass on rough-in and final inspections.

Is open burning or wood-burning fire pits allowed inside Pearland city limits?

Pearland restricts open burning. Portable or built-in wood units must meet Fire Marshal guidance on spark control, distance from structures, and smoke nuisances. Gas fire pits and outdoor gas fireplaces are typically preferred since they’re not “open burning” and are easier to permit. We’ll review current city rules and recommend spark arrestors, proper stack height, and wind mitigation to keep your project compliant and neighbor-friendly.

How far should an outdoor fireplace or fire pit be from my house and patio cover?

Clearances depend on the appliance and adjacent materials. As a rule of thumb, maintain at least 10 feet from combustible structures and follow manufacturer-specified side and overhead clearances. Under patio covers, we add heat shielding and noncombustible surrounds and verify ventilation and stack height to reduce smoke accumulation. Our team confirms requirements for your exact model and site conditions before construction.

How much does an outdoor fireplace cost in the Houston/Pearland area?

In 2024, typical ranges are: gas fire pits $3,500–$9,500; masonry outdoor fireplaces $10,000–$28,000; linear or see-through features $16,000–$40,000+. Gas line trenching, utilities, finishes (limestone, brick, stone veneer), and electronics (ignition/lighting) affect price. We provide itemized proposals and value-engineer options to fit your budget without sacrificing safety, durability, or HOA/permit compliance.

Which is better for Pearland - gas or wood outdoor fireplaces?

Gas units offer convenience, clean flames, and easier permitting. Wood delivers traditional ambience but must address smoke control, spark arrestors, and open burning rules. Many Pearland homeowners choose gas with realistic media for low-maintenance enjoyment. We’ll compare fuel availability, BTU needs, HOA rules, and your patio layout to help you pick the best option for your space and lifestyle.

Can you install an outdoor fireplace under a covered patio?

Yes - if it’s designed correctly. We verify proper clearances to combustibles, integrate heat shields/insulation board, and ensure adequate ventilation and stack height. For gas appliances, we follow listed-manual requirements and add shutoffs where required. Our NFI-led team will evaluate your cover height, soffit materials, and wind patterns to place the unit safely and reduce heat buildup and smoke recirculation.

Will my HOA in Pearland approve an outdoor fireplace or fire pit?

Most HOAs - Shadow Creek Ranch, Silverlake, Southwyck, and others - approve well-documented designs. We prepare submittal packages with scaled drawings, finishes, and appliance specs. We also address visibility, property line offsets, and noise/smoke concerns. Our HOA-ready documentation shortens review times and improves approval odds on the first pass.

What gas line size and pressure are required for a fire pit?

It depends on BTU demand and line length. Many fire pits need a 3/4-inch line and 7–11 inches water column, but sizing must be calculated by a TSBPE-licensed plumber. We run new lines, place shutoff valves in accessible locations, and pressure-test with a manometer before inspection and backfill to meet Pearland requirements.

What stone holds up best to Houston weather and near salt-chlorinated pools?

Brick, dense cast-stone, and sealed natural limestone perform well when detailed correctly. We use stainless burners, proper weeps, and breathable sealers around pools. Stone veneer is installed with lath and scratch coats to best practices, and caps (travertine or granite) are set with drip edges to shed water. We’ll match materials to your maintenance preference and pool chemistry.
