Outdoor living is a year-round draw in Arden — mild shoulder seasons and cool mountain evenings make a fire feature the heart of a patio. Arden sits on a natural-gas main, so most gas fireplaces, inserts, and log sets here tie straight into utility gas — no tank to fill and no propane regulator to set. We build outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and the gas lines that feed them, permitted through Buncombe County and engineered for WNC weather.
Fire features go beyond the standard pit — think sculptural fire bowls flanking an entry, a fire-and-water combination spilling into a spa, a linear trough along a seat wall, or flame columns marking an outdoor room. Steady Flame designs and installs these signature elements as part of a cohesive outdoor living space, tying flame, water, stone, and lighting together. As a licensed gas contractor, we deliver the piece that turns a landscaper's rendering into a working feature: the gas.
What's Involved
We scope the feature with your landscape or patio plan, spec burners and BTU output for the visual effect you're after, and engineer the base, drainage, and any water integration. Then we run and pressure-test the natural-gas or propane supply, install ignition and safety controls, and pull the permits. Whether it's a single dramatic bowl or a coordinated set of elements, we build for reliable, all-season performance — and, with millivolt ignition, flame that survives a power outage.
Heating Challenges in Arden
Arden's rapid commercial and residential growth along Hendersonville Road creates diverse hearth needs — from statement gas fireplaces in large retail and office spaces at Biltmore Park to cozy inserts in the established homes of Royal Pines and Skyland. Many Arden homes built in the 1980s–90s have original open masonry fireplaces that would burn far more efficiently with a modern wood or gas insert.
Seasonal Tip for Arden Homeowners
Arden's mix of older and newer homes means plenty of tired, drafty open fireplaces. If yours pulls heat out of the room instead of warming it, ask us about a sealed insert — it turns a decorative fireplace into a real heat source. Fall is the ideal time to make the switch.
