Gas fire features offer instant ignition, adjustable flame height, no smoke, no ash cleanup, and are generally preferred in San Diego's urban and suburban neighborhoods. Wood-burning features provide a traditional campfire experience but may have restrictions in certain San Diego communities. Modern Yardz installs both types.
Gas fire features typically require permits for gas line installation. Outdoor fireplaces always require building permits in San Diego. Modern Yardz handles all permitting as part of our design-build process.
