Fire features bring warmth, ambiance, and extended usability to outdoor spaces when they’re properly designed and installed. Whether integrated into patios, seating areas, or standalone gathering zones, these elements must balance aesthetics, safety, and durability. Our fire features are built with material integrity, ventilation, and long-term performance in mind — designed to function reliably in Florida’s climate without compromising comfort or compliance.
Designed For Gathering And Comfort
Fire features create natural focal points that encourage conversation and connection. When properly positioned, they enhance seating layouts, define space, and improve nighttime usability without overpowering the surrounding design.
Heat exposure, ventilation, and material failure are common issues with poorly built fire features. We design each installation to handle sustained heat, airflow requirements, and repeated use while maintaining structural integrity and finish quality.
Heat-Rated Materials
Fuel Options
Proper Venting
Integrated Design
Fire feature installation requires a balance between technical precision and environmental awareness. With 38+ years experience, our team understands how heat, airflow, and material selection affect long-term performance. We’ve built fire features across a wide range of layouts and conditions, allowing us to anticipate safety concerns, prevent premature wear, and ensure consistent operation. That experience results in fire features that remain dependable, safe, and visually refined over time.
A properly built fire feature extends the use of outdoor spaces well beyond daylight hours. Strategic placement improves comfort during cooler months, enhances property appeal, and creates a reliable gathering area that doesn’t require frequent maintenance or adjustment. When installed correctly, fire features add both lifestyle value and long-term durability without becoming safety risks or maintenance burdens.

Ryan and the guys at Dickerson do a great job keeping our property in tip top shape. We've used them for a few years now with no regrets.Posted on Sue SmithDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so pleased with everything The work along with the employees Joshua Chambers is always a pleasure with a smilePosted on Jim TDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've used Dickerson's for all our landscaping needs over the past few years and couldn't be happier. From the designs by Will, the ongoing yard maintenance from Tracy and his team, to irrigation improvements by Josh and weekly trimming/care by Ryan along with others on the team it's such a high level of service and responsiveness. Prior to Dickerson's we used a number of other companies for about 10 years and the work was okay, but definitely not up to the level of service we get from Dickerson's. Thank you Will for having such a great team around you!Posted on DeWayne CarverDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh has done a great job keeping our yard looking good. Our lot is difficult to service and requires a lot of work to be done by hand; we had trouble getting someone to do it, but Dickerson took it on, and Josh has done whatever it takes to keep it neat and attractive.Posted on Kamren NielsenOctober 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend this company. If you are looking for people who care and people who know what they are talking about, Dickerson is it! The level of professionalism and experience is worth it!Posted on Cassandra SmithSeptember 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been meeting with William and the Dickerson Landscaping & Lawn Care team regularly over the past few months. They are true professionals, punctual, know their craft, and really care about their customers. Not only do they handle basic lawn care services like mowing and weed control, they also specialize in designing and installing drainage solutions, grading, retaining walls, irrigation, lighting, decks, fireplaces, water features, fencing and screens. So you only have to go to one place for everything! They have over 3 decades of design, install, and landscape service in the Tallahassee area, so you're going to get a knowledgeable team on your side.Posted on Kathryn CowderyMarch 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. William took our basic walkway idea and made a very lovely and practical design. The hardscaping crew did an excellent job. 4 instead of 5 stars because the company was not always good about returning calls.
