Outdoor Fireplace Installer in Sacramento, CA

Stuteville Landscaping is an outdoor fireplace installer in Sacramento, and a fire feature here runs $5,000 to $25,000 or more depending on whether you want a fire pit, a fire table, or a full fireplace. Stuteville Landscaping designs and builds fire features across the Sacramento area under a C-27 license, and every project includes a free on-site estimate.

Below: what we build, why we recommend gas, how permits and BTU sizing work, and how a fire feature ties into your yard.

Ask us gas or wood, and the answer is fast. Gas 100%. From November through February, Sacramento can restrict or prohibit wood-burning appliances, including outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, when fine-particle pollution is forecast to be elevated. A gas fire feature avoids those wood-burning restrictions, and you get instant on and off with no smoke. Check the current burn status before using a wood-burning appliance.

Gas also means instant on, instant off, no smoke. A gas outdoor fireplace beats burning logs for a feature you use often. We build a wood-burning outdoor fireplace too — we just steer you toward gas.

Here's the rule in Sacramento: gas lines require permits, the fire pit itself usually doesn't. We pull the permit for the gas line installation and handle the inspection. That covers building code compliance, the gas shutoff valve, and the pressure check.

The detail that separates a real install from a weekend job is BTU sizing. "We want to ensure that the fireplace has enough BTU to support the flame. We don't want the client to install a fire pit and have a baby flame come out of it." An undersized gas line gives you a sad little flicker. We size the line to the feature.

Most of our fireplace work happens as part of a larger outdoor living build, not as a standalone visit. When we're designing or remodeling your space, that scope can include the firebox, mantel, brick facing, stone or tile surround, and heat shielding where the design calls for it.

On an existing fireplace, we can reface it to update the look, replace an old unit, or take on limited repairs — handled as part of the project, depending on scope and condition. We don't offer standalone chimney builds, combustion venting, fireplace maintenance, or chimney cleaning.

We build outdoor fireplaces and fire pits across the Sacramento region: Sacramento itself (Land Park, Pocket-Greenhaven, Arden-Arcade, East Sacramento, West Sacramento, Downtown Sacramento), plus Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Granite Bay, Fair Oaks, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Davis, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, Orangevale, and Rocklin. Larger projects in El Dorado County on the right build.
