Can my landscaper build the fire pit enclosure while a licensed gas company installs the burner and gas line?
Yes. In Arden's established Royal Pines and Skyland neighborhoods, your landscaper builds the enclosure and we handle the fuel — tapping the natural-gas line, sizing and setting the burner, venting and valving it, and permitting with Buncombe County. These 1980s-90s homes are adding outdoor rooms fast, and Biltmore Park's commercial spaces want the same fire features.
Established neighborhoods, new outdoor rooms
Arden's 1980s and 90s homes in Skyland and Royal Pines were built with open masonry fireplaces, and owners here are increasingly moving the everyday fire outdoors to a gas pit on the patio. Your mason or landscaper builds the enclosure to match the house; we bring the burner, line, venting, and shutoff. The same demand shows up commercially at Biltmore Park, where the retail and office spaces want the same fire features and the split works identically.
Right on the gas main
Arden sits squarely on natural-gas mains along the Hendersonville Road corridor, so we typically tap an existing meter rather than set a propane tank. We confirm the meter can carry the added outdoor load, run outdoor-rated buried line to the pit, size the burner and pan to your enclosure opening, and pressure-test before the stone is capped — coordinating with your crew at rough-in so nothing has to be reopened.
The licensed side is ours
Extending a gas line is licensed work in North Carolina — a landscaper can build the enclosure but legally can't connect the fuel. We pull the Buncombe County permit and meet the inspector, and at 15 minutes south of our Emma Rd showroom we coordinate closely with your builder. That single accountable licensed contractor also keeps the work documented for insurance. Call (828) 545-0525.
