Can my landscaper build the fire pit enclosure while a licensed gas company installs the burner and gas line?
Yes. In Clyde your landscaper builds the enclosure and we take the fuel side — confirming gas versus propane, sizing and running the line, setting and venting the burner, and permitting with Haywood County. These older 1960s-80s ranch homes are ripe for outdoor upgrades, and the river-valley humidity makes corrosion-resistant components worth insisting on.
Older ranches, modern outdoor living
Clyde's housing leans toward 1960s-80s ranch builds with dated fireplaces, and owners updating them often extend the project outdoors to a gas fire pit. The division stays clean: your landscaper or mason builds the enclosure, and we handle the burner, gas line, venting, and shutoff. We size the burner and pan to their exact opening so the stonework and the fire come together on the first try, with no gaps to patch when the kit drops in.
River humidity, so build for it
Clyde shares the cold-air drainage and river humidity of Canton and Waynesville, which rusts dampers and degrades chimneys — and it's just as hard on outdoor metal. On a fire pit we spec outdoor-rated, corrosion-resistant components and make sure your hardscaper's base drains so the burner pan never sits in water. Haywood County is mixed fuel, so whether the property runs natural gas or propane changes the setup, and we confirm it before the enclosure is capped.
Permitted with Haywood County
In North Carolina, gas-line work is licensed — a landscaper builds the enclosure, but only a licensed gas contractor can legally connect the fuel. We pull the Haywood County permit, pressure-test, and meet the inspector. We're 25 minutes west of our Emma Rd showroom, so we schedule the rough-in visit tightly. Call (828) 545-0525.
