Can my landscaper build the fire pit enclosure while a licensed gas company installs the burner and gas line?
Yes, and in Candler the first question is which fuel your lot actually has. Your landscaper builds the enclosure; we confirm gas versus propane, size and run the line, set and vent the burner, and permit with Buncombe County. Gas mains reach the newer Enka-Candler subdivisions, but plenty of Hominy Valley properties still run propane.
Two fuels in one town
Candler is growing fast, and its fuel picture is split: natural-gas mains serve the newer Enka-Candler subdivisions, while properties out Hominy Valley and Pisgah Highway often run propane. That distinction drives the whole design — a propane burner needs a different orifice and pressure than a natural-gas one, and propane also requires low enclosure vents because it's heavier than air and pools if it doesn't light. We settle which fuel you have before your hardscaper caps the stone, so the burner is right the first time.
Upgrading past the builder-grade box
Many of Candler's new subdivisions came with basic decorative fireboxes, and homeowners here often want real heat and a proper outdoor feature within a few years of moving in. A gas fire pit is a natural add — and in the Hominy Valley bowl, where air can settle, a clean-burning sealed setup is easy on air quality. Your landscaper builds the look; we handle the burner, line, venting, and a reachable shutoff.
Licensed and permitted
In North Carolina, connecting gas is licensed work — a landscaper builds the enclosure, but only a licensed gas contractor can legally run the fuel. We pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test, and meet the inspector. We're 15 minutes west on Emma Rd, so coordinating with your crew is easy. Call (828) 545-0525.
