1. Entertain Outdoors
As we’ve already mentioned, people in Jacksonville are always looking for ideas that will help them get out of the hot, stuffy house and into the backyard they spend so much time weeding and mowing. When you install an outdoor fireplace, you immediately create a space for gathering, laughing, and enjoying the company of others. People are automatically drawn to a fireplace, whether it’s indoors or out. Not to mention that a fireplace helps keep away the bugs during muggy Jacksonville nights!
2. Use Your Patio All Year Long
Sure, we live in Florida. We don’t exactly have to worry about huddling around a fireplace for warmth in the winter the way they do in Colorado or Alaska. But that doesn’t mean an outdoor fireplace can’t come in handy. While the rest of the country is getting snow, the weather gets moody and chilled here in Jacksonville. Instead of abandoning your patio because the temperature drops, an outdoor fireplace gives you a reason to stay outside longer.
3. Instant Romance
Why spend time driving to a nice restaurant and paying $50 for a bottle of wine when you can create an incredibly romantic moment in front of your very own outdoor fireplace? Fix up a platter of cheese and crackers, uncork a bottle of reasonably priced Pinot Noir, add in the crackling of a fire, and you’ve got a recipe for romance.
4. Fun Activities
Are the grand kids coming over for the weekend? With an outdoor fireplace in your backyard landscape, there’s no need to worry about how to keep them entertained. Grab some hot dogs and roast them, toast up some gooey grilled cheese sandwiches, and then switch to marshmallows or s’mores when dinner’s over!
5. Increased Property Value
If nothing else has convinced you that an outdoor fireplace is a great idea for backyards, this will do it: they can increase your property value! If you’re planning to sell your house someday, having a professionally installed outdoor fireplace is a great way to ensure that your property will fetch a better price.
