Yes — and if you're building in Reems Creek, the time to decide is now. Weaverville's downtown runs on natural-gas mains, but newer subdivisions past the line often go propane, and burying the tank during construction is the cleanest path. It has to be a burial-rated tank set by your propane supplier, with our gas line coordinated into the build.
Plan the tank into the build
Weaverville is adding houses fast, especially out toward Reems Creek, and a lot of that new construction sits beyond the natural-gas main. On a new build, burying propane is far easier decided early — the tank location, the trench for the fuel line, and the fireplace's rough-in all get coordinated before the landscaping goes in, so all you ever see afterward is a low access dome in the lawn. Retrofitting a buried system into a finished yard is doable but messier. The older downtown homes with their inefficient original fireboxes are a different project — usually a sealed insert on the existing gas — but out in the new subdivisions, propane and burial are the live question.
One licensed company on the fuel side
Your propane supplier owns the tank — a burial-rated vessel, corrosion-protected and properly set. Steady Flame owns the line: sized for your fireplace, buried to depth outdoors, permitted with Buncombe County, and pressure-tested before it lights. Coordinating that during construction means the inspector signs off once and the home records stay clean, which protects the sale and your insurance later. Fifteen minutes north of our showroom.
