Outdoor Living Spaces
Custom outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and entertainment areas that extend your living space to the backyard.
Long Island's mild spring, summer, and fall seasons make outdoor living spaces one of the best investments you can make in your home. JZ Development designs and builds custom outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and complete backyard entertainment areas across Nassau and Suffolk County.
Our outdoor fire features range from simple stone fire pits to full-size outdoor fireplaces with chimneys, mantels, and seating walls. We build with fire-rated materials and proper ventilation, and we design each feature to complement your patio, landscape, and home's architecture.
Outdoor kitchens are increasingly popular on Long Island — from basic built-in grill stations to complete kitchens with countertops, sinks, refrigerators, pizza ovens, and storage. We build the masonry structure, install countertops, and coordinate gas, water, and electrical connections.
Whether you're looking for a simple fire pit for family gatherings or a complete outdoor entertainment area with fireplace, kitchen, and bar, we help you plan, design, and build a space that your family will enjoy for years.

Do I need a permit for a fire pit on Long Island?
Regulations vary by municipality. Many Long Island towns allow fire pits with certain setback and size restrictions. Permanent outdoor fireplaces typically require a building permit. Gas fire features require plumbing permits. We check local requirements and handle any necessary permits.
What fuel is best for an outdoor fireplace — wood or gas?
Both have advantages. Wood-burning fireplaces offer the traditional campfire experience with crackling sounds and natural heat. Gas fireplaces are easier to use (instant on/off), produce no ash or smoke, and require less maintenance. Gas is also allowed in more municipalities. We build both types.
