It doesn’t matter if you are in Mahwah, Alpine, Englewood Cliffs, Rutherford or Paramus; Onorato Landscaping is dedicated to exceeding your expectations at every step of your fire pit or outdoor fireplace project. There are a few considerations that must be taken into account before building can begin. The first consideration will be the location of your fire pit. It needs to be at least 15 feet away from the house. An outdoor fireplace with a chimney can be built into a pool house or can be free standing.
Second: your design wish list. Think shape, materials and such things as seating, tables, lighting, etc. Remember that a beautiful fire draws people in; it will likely become the centerpiece of your property. Do you want a round or rectangular fire pit? Or do you want a fireplace? What materials do you want to use? The materials you choose should blend and enhance any existing hardscaping. Do you want to use pavers, stone, brick, cement, stucco? Are you planning on cooking on the fire pit or fireplace, or will its primary use be decorative? How big do you think your fire pit or fireplace should be? You want to make sure that it is appropriate to the size of your patio or backyard. The fire pit or fireplace should enhance the overall look and feel of the backyard landscaping, not overpower it. Don’t forget to include an area for firewood or propane canisters!
If you do opt for a fireplace, remember that the chimney needs to be at least two feet higher than the adjacent building, per the fire code. If you are not sure or have questions about any of the options, call Marc at 201-941-1623 to discuss the project. As mentioned, he is skilled at helping you turn your thoughts into actual substance.
Third: what is your budget? Is the project solely a fire pit or fireplace, or is it going to be part of a backyard landscape design? If budget is a concern, please remember that Marc Onorato is skilled in developing projects to be implemented in multi-season phases to accommodate your budget.
Fourth: let Onorato Landscaping handle all of the permits and regulations. Codes vary from town to town. With some fire pits and fireplaces, you will need a permit. Marc’s team can handle it all—your project will run smoothly and headache-free. In all cases, Marc Onorato will ensure that your fire pit or fireplace is compliant with all regulations and has the proper permits, if required.
