The Hearth and Patio store started out as The Chimney Shop in 1978. When the business outgrew its first location, they built a new store on Monroe Road. The name was changed to The Hearth and Patio as the store began offering outdoor furniture as a summer compliment to the winter-based fireplace product. Mildred Marze, an original employee of The Chimney Shop, and her husband Don Marze purchased the business in 1985. Their success was built on having a great product at a fair price, good service for our customers, and knowledgeable employees.

The right fireplace starts with your house, not a catalog. 🔥

Wood, gas, and electric all have a place. Which one fits comes down to what your home already has and how you want to use it.

🪵 Wood
• Real fire, real crackle, and a smell nothing else matches
• Best fit if you already have a masonry chimney
• No chimney? That's where it gets expensive

🔥 Gas
• Real flame and real heat at the flip of a switch
• Direct vent: needs a flue that runs vertical or horizontal. It's standard in most new construction
• Vent-free: no flue, and it puts out a ton of heat
• Needs a gas line to the home, or a plan to run one

⚡ Electric
• Goes on any wall, in any room
• Ideal for condos and new townhomes where everything's already electric
• Built-in heater (roughly 5,000–10,000 BTU), but it's mostly about ambiance
• Today's best models look like true flame, with no cartoon colors

The quick way to narrow it down:
✔️ Brick chimney → wood or gas
✔️ Gas line (or willing to run one) → direct vent or vent-free
✔️ Neither → electric

Come see them lit in person. We'll help you match the right fireplace to your space and to how you actually live in it.

Gas, electric, or wood? The honest answer: it depends on your space, how you want to use it, and the look you're after. 🔥

There's no single "best" fireplace. There's the best one for your room. Here's how the three compare:

🔥 Wood-burning — the real thing. Crackle, smell, true radiant heat. Best for homeowners who want the full experience and don't mind hauling logs and cleaning ash.

💠 Gas — instant flame at the flip of a switch. Real heat, zero cleanup, and the most consistent daily use. Best for families who want a fire every night without the work.

⚡ Electric — no venting, no gas line, no chimney. Sleek linear designs that install almost anywhere — media walls, bedrooms, basements. Best for modern spaces and homes where gas or wood isn't an option.

The right choice comes down to three questions: How often will you use it? How much heat do you actually need? And what look fits the room you're putting it in?

That's exactly what our team walks through with you in the showroom. We carry all three — lit, side by side — so you can see the flame, feel the heat, and pick the one that actually fits your home. ✨

After 47 years of putting outdoor furniture on real patios, three brands keep earning the top of our list. These are the ones we'd buy for our own homes. 🛋️

Outdoor furniture isn't about what looks good in a catalog. It's about what still looks good — and still works — after ten summers in the North Carolina heat. These three deliver that every time. ✨

Our top three outdoor furniture brands on the showroom floor right now:

🥉 Lloyd Flanders — the furniture you grew up with, reborn. Hand-woven resin on an aluminum frame that won't sag, won't rot, and doesn't care that it lives outside. Classic silhouettes, modern durability.

🥈 O.W. Lee — family-owned craftsmanship with zero shortcuts. Welded joints instead of bolts (welds don't loosen, bolts do). Heavy on purpose. Never wobbles, even after seasons of use.

🥇 Gensun — cast aluminum frames across the full range: lounging, dining, sectionals, side tables. Built to last 30+ years outdoors. The one most of our clients come back for.

There's a reason we curate instead of stock everything. The brands that don't hold up never make it to the floor. The ones that do — these three included — earn their spot by lasting longer than the trends they outlived. 🎯

We're Hearth & Patio. Charlotte's outdoor + indoor living authority since 1978. 47 years of curating the brands that actually last — all under one roof in Cotswold.

Come see all three in person.

The easiest upgrade you'll make before the cold hits. And the one your family will use every single night for the next six months. 🔥

Electric fireplaces are the quiet winner of the fireplace category right now. No venting. No gas line. No chimney retrofit. Just a sleek linear install that reads like a design feature in daylight and runs real warmth the second the temperature drops. Which is exactly why now is the smartest time to put one in — before the first cold week, not during it. ✨

What makes electric the easiest install in the showroom:

⚡ Plug-and-play — no venting, no gas line, no chimney work
🎨 Sleek linear design that works as a built-in or wall-mounted feature
🌋 Flame + ember-bed options — driftwood, log, glass crystals, color-shift modes
🔥 Real supplemental heat on-demand — or ambient flame-only when you just want the look
🏡 Fits into a shiplap wall, a media wall, a bedroom, a basement, or a rental where gas isn't an option

And right now we're building out a full electric fireplace install wall inside the showroom so you can see them lit, side by side, in real room settings — not stacked on a shelf. Come see them in person. 📍

It comes from actually seeing the pieces, sitting in them, watching the fire throw real light on a real evening, and building the plan around your yard. Every version of the backyard in this video? Every piece of it is already on the floor in our showroom — waiting to become the one that ends up at your home. ✨

🛋️ Curated outdoor furniture from Brown Jordan, Lane Venture, Lloyd Flanders, O.W. Lee, Ebel, Gensun + more

Same room. A dozen completely different fireplaces. That's exactly what a photo can't show you. 🔥

The fireplace you pick doesn't just fit the space. It changes the whole feel of the room. A wall-mounted linear reads modern and minimal. A traditional gas insert with a wood mantel reads warm and classic. A three-sided glass box reads sculptural. A driftwood + glass ember bed reads coastal. Every one is right for someone. And the only way to know which one is right for YOU is to see it lit, in a real space, at real scale.

That's exactly why we exist.

What you'll find in the showroom:

🔥 Wood-burning fireplaces + inserts — real flame, real heat, built to last decades
⚡ Electric fireplaces + linear designs — high-design, zero venting, plug and play
💠 Gas fireplaces + inserts — instant flame, controlled heat, perfect for daily use
🪵 Driftwood, log, and glass-ember design options — from traditional to fully modern

The temperature is dropping. Which means one of the smartest upgrades you can make right now is one you'll use every night for the next six months. 🔥

Fireplaces do two things at once. They make a room feel like the place everyone in the house wants to be. And they cut what you're paying to heat everywhere else while they do it.

That's why we curate what we do. Because a fireplace isn't just a design element — it's the reason your family will actually gather in that room every night once the cold air rolls in.

What you'll find in the showroom right now:

🔥 Wood-burning fireplaces + inserts — real flame, real heat, built to last decades

A pool is the reason you go outside. Everything else is why you stay. 🔥

The lounge chairs that pull you into an evening you didn't plan. The dining table where dinner turns into a three-hour conversation. The outdoor fireplace that makes October and November feel like the best months to be out there. That's what turns a backyard with a pool into a backyard your family actually lives in.

And that's what we do inside our showroom every day — help homeowners find the pieces that turn their outdoor space into somewhere they'd rather be than inside.

What you'll find inside:

🔥 Premium outdoor fireplaces + fire tables — gas, wood-burning, or a mix
🛋️ Curated outdoor furniture from Brown Jordan, Lane Venture, Lloyd Flanders, O.W. Lee, Ebel, Gensun + more

This is the part a website can't do. 🏡

You can scroll grills for an hour and not know how the burners actually feel. You can compare fireplace photos and not know how a real flame throws heat in a real room. You can save a couch to a wishlist and never sit in it long enough to know if you'd still want to sit in it three years from now.

That's what the showroom is for.

Same backyard. Two completely different lives. All it takes is the right furniture — matched to how you actually want to live in the space. 🌿

An empty patio is just concrete and a pool. What you put on it decides whether you use it — whether it becomes the room your family gathers in every evening, or the space you barely walk out to. And that decision doesn't happen by clicking "add to cart" on a stock set built for nobody in particular. It happens by walking into a showroom, sitting in the pieces, seeing the fabrics in real light, and building the plan around your space, your style, and how you actually want to live out there.

Here's what we built into this backyard:

🪑 Brown Jordan Walter Lamb — mid-century inspired, hand-crafted, timeless
🛋️ Lloyd Flanders Reflection — woven, sculpted, built to last decades outdoors
🔥 Fire Magic built-in grill — the outdoor kitchen anchor
☂️ Treasure Garden 9' octagon umbrella — quad pulley lift, all-weather canopy

Every piece hand-selected in our showroom. Every fabric felt. Every frame sat in. Every finish seen in real light — not on a screen. That's what makes a backyard feel like yours, not like everyone else's Amazon delivery. ✨

We're Hearth & Patio. Charlotte's outdoor living authority since 1978. 47 years of curating the brands that transform outdoor spaces — Brown Jordan, Lloyd Flanders, Lane Venture, O.W. Lee, Ebel, Gensun, Fire Magic, Treasure Garden, and more — all under one roof in Cotswold.
