Planning a 3D backyard design on Amelia Island

The City of Fernandina Beach covers the north end of Amelia Island, while much of the south end, including Amelia Island Plantation and Summer Beach, is unincorporated Nassau County. Fort Clinch State Park anchors the island's northern tip, and the south end opens toward Nassau Sound. Under big trees, a pergola can borrow the canopy's shade and add structure without fighting the roots.

Seeing two options side by side settles most backyard debates in minutes. Before we draw a 3D backyard design on Amelia Island, we check your survey and setbacks, how furniture fits and what your HOA will want to see.

UF/IFAS lists a tree, an umbrella or a pergola as ways to get daytime shade in an outdoor living space.

Approvals and Permits on Amelia Island

Gated and resort communities on the island, such as Amelia Island Plantation and Summer Beach, run their own architectural review, often with careful rules on materials, colors and tree removal. Most associations ask for drawings and materials; 3D views make the package easier to read. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Nassau County's Building Department permits most of the south end of the island, and the City of Fernandina Beach permits the north end.
