Why a Fireplace
More Than Heat. An Experience.
Outdoor heaters solve a comfort problem. An outdoor fireplace creates a moment. Here is why homeowners, restaurateurs, and hospitality operators choose a fireplace as the anchor of their outdoor space.
The Focal Point of Any Outdoor Space
A fireplace transforms a patio from a seating area into a destination. Guests gather around it, linger longer, and come back for it.
Year-Round Usability
Even in the Southeast, evenings cool off. A fireplace extends your outdoor season by months and makes cold nights the best nights.
Dramatic Visual Impact
Nothing adds architectural presence to an outdoor room like a well-designed fireplace. It anchors the space and elevates the entire property.
Gas or Wood Options
Natural gas and propane fireplaces offer instant ignition and clean operation. Wood-burning options deliver the authentic crackle and aroma nothing else replicates.
Custom Surround Designs
Stone, stucco, tile, or steel, your fireplace surround can match any architectural style from coastal contemporary to mountain rustic.
Increases Property Value
Outdoor fireplaces consistently rank among the highest-ROI outdoor improvements for both residential and commercial properties.

Common Questions
Outdoor Fireplace FAQs
What fuel types are available?
We supply natural gas, propane, and wood-burning outdoor fireplaces. Gas options offer the most convenience, while wood-burning delivers the most authentic experience. We help you choose based on your existing infrastructure and preferences.
Can a fireplace be added to an existing patio?
Yes. Most outdoor fireplaces can be retrofitted into existing covered patios, pergolas, or open-air spaces. We assess your structure, clearances, and gas supply during the consultation and provide your contractor with everything they need.
Do you handle the full project?
PHD manages the product side from start to finish: design consultation, product specification, permitting documentation, and coordinating delivery to your site. Your licensed contractor handles the physical installation.
What is the typical lead time?
Lead times vary by product and project complexity. Most residential projects are ready for installation within 4 to 8 weeks of order confirmation. We provide a firm timeline during your consultation.
Do outdoor fireplaces require a permit?
In most jurisdictions, yes. Requirements vary by city and county. PHD provides the documentation your contractor needs for the permitting process.
