FAQ

Outdoor Elements FAQ

Should I get a gas or wood-burning fire pit?

Gas lights instantly, shuts off instantly and won't smoke out your guests, so it's our usual recommendation for entertaining spaces. Some areas restrict wood burning anyway. Wood costs less to build and some people love the ritual. We build both and will tell you the code situation for your address.

Do fire features need permits?

Gas-plumbed features involve permitted gas line work. That's included in how we quote and build, never a corner to cut.

How much does outdoor lighting add to my energy bill?

Very little. A full low-voltage LED yard system typically uses less power per month than a single old porch floodlight used to.

Can you add a fire pit or lighting to hardscape you didn't build?

Usually, yes. We check what's under the existing surface first and tell you what's feasible without tearing things up. If a retrofit would cost more than it's worth, we say so.

Are water features high-maintenance?

The pondless styles we usually install are easy: top up the water and clean the pump seasonally. A full pond is beautiful, but it's a hobby. Most clients want the sound without the chores, and that's what we design for.
