Are gas fire pits worth it compared to wood-burning fire pits?
For Arden, gas is the straightforward choice. The established Royal Pines and Skyland neighborhoods sit on natural-gas mains, so a fire pit can run off a permanent buried line — no propane tank, no refills. Pair that with instant light, no smoke, and no ash, and gas beats wood on ease for nearly every homeowner here.
Established Neighborhoods, Easy Gas
Arden's 1980s and 90s neighborhoods are settled and on the natural-gas grid, which makes a gas fire pit a simple add — we run a buried, outdoor-rated line from the meter to the pit, permit it with Buncombe County, and pressure-test it. No tank to watch, no refills, just fire whenever you want it. For homeowners used to lighting a match and hauling wood, the turn-of-a-key ease is the whole appeal.
We're 15 minutes up the road at our Emma Road showroom, so it's an easy call to come see the pits in person before we set one on your patio.
Biltmore Park and Commercial Spaces
The Biltmore Park retail and office district brings demand for outdoor gathering spaces, and gas is the clear fit for a commercial patio — controllable, clean, and shut-off-clean when the space closes, with none of the smoke or ember liability a wood fire would carry around the public. We hard-plumb those features the same licensed way we do a backyard.
Connecting any of it to fuel is licensed work in North Carolina — a landscaper or general contractor legally can't. Single-source, permitted, and pressure-tested is how we do it. Call (828) 545-0525.
